"Lots of digging these days"

Hey momma!

Elder Salisbury is a good kid. He's the first companion I have had that I can actually talk about video games and stuff haha. Likes to joke around a lot, which is really a good thing and a relief. Work still gets done, but we enjoy ourselves. He is a tall guy. He is really goofy. But I guess that is a good match for me! haha. I know Elder Lamb. He is a really good guy. I haven't been able to see him for a long time. So when we have a zone function, I will get to see the little bugger again. He is over in Adyel right now. I will make sure to mention Janna when I meet him again. But no, I never would have guessed I would be living in Lira.

Chobe really wasn't that great. Honestly, the animals were kind of lame. Really didn't see much.The pics that I sent are like, all we got haha. Maybe next time I go, if there is a next time, I will get some more for ya.  Ever, haha. If you wanna go see animals, go to Hogle zoo haha. There are more there than I have seen on my mission. But man, that food was ridiculously good. I can't wait to have YOUR food again. I might die cause it is so good. 

The investigators! Not too bad. Tony is having commitment problems. We went there with President, and had a powerful lesson, and he told us that he believe it is all true, and the BOM is the Lord's word, and he would come to church. Well, he didn't come to church. His sons did, but I guess they didn't get the time right, because they came for the typical 'morning service' that most churches have here. They showed up at 6:30 and church starts at 10:00 haha. So hopefully next time with them. We got a couple of really powerful referrals this week, and are hoping to get some good work done with them. The branch is doing great. They just had a nice Elder's Quorum activity about home-teaching, because last month they reported about 22%. So there is room for improvement, but things are great. We are doing lots of service lately. Lots of digging these days, with the new rainy season. I am good at digging now. Give me a huge plot of land when I get home and I will cultivate the crap out of it. 

Sorry to hear about your student. That is never easy. I really wish things like that didn't happen. All you can really do is talk it out with God, and be an example to others in how you deal with it. You are a really strong lady, mom. Trust me, I do know that. People, especially myself, look to you for strength and help. Just remember the basics; prayer, scriptures, and fasting. They really work.

Glad you got to go to Connor's homecoming. That kid is the best. It is gonna be so strange when that happens for me. I don't know if I am ready for it haha. I don't know if I can handle that many white people in one room yet. But yeah, thanks for the update on everyone. It is always nice to hear. 

I don't really know if that SD card is ever gonna show up to you guys. I sent it like, 5 weeks ago I think. Somethin like that. Oh well. Just give it a few more months and I'll personally show em all to ya. 

We are all healthy, still enjoying life and the work, and things are good. I love you mom! Stay awesome, stay strong, and most important, stay HAPPY dangit. I am happy when you are happy! Have a wonderful week, and let me know if there are any specific questions from anybody so I can answer then! Bye!
