On a mission, for your first two transfers you are in training and typically when you are done being trained you get a new comp. So Monsen and I were totally expecting him to leave and me to get someone new. On Saturday though we got a call from President Foote and he told us we were staying together for another transfer. So yeah nothing new.

Last night we got caught in a rain storm and there was a big van that got stuck.  We tried to help them for like an hour and got completely soaked, it was fun. When it rains here it really rains, the roads/paths here become rivers.

We taught a family yesterday about families and the temple and it was really neat. I showed them a picture of the South Africa temple and of BrookeLynne, Eric, Avery, and Dakota. They first came into contact with the church 3 years ago, but he has been struggling and there hasn't been missionaries here consistently. Hopefully we can help them progress!!

On Wednesday we got to go out to the country side and visit a member. We are planning on going out there again this week. It was way beautiful, I have some pictures, but they don't do it justice.

I got a bunch more letters last week. I'm now only missing letter 10 from mom I think and I got a couple from Katie. 

This is for mom,  (FYI: Cyndi/Corey's Mom has been sick)

You woulds say "mirary fahasalama" to someone who is sick, it means to wish healthiness, it's like saying I hope you get better! 

I hope I didn't miss anything from the letters I forgot to review them this morning so I don't remember everything.

Word of the week is mandrakizay which means forever.

love you!
