2/27/2012

Everything with the transfers went well and I am doing great.  Transfers are every six weeks you have 17 in your entire mission after, this week I will be in my 4 transfer.  The latest transfers came out of necessity, because so many Elder’s are leaving. We won’t have any more new missionaries come to Zambia until July.  

Elder Santana moved on Friday.  I am with Elder Mangunta, he is a good Elder and fun to be around.  As I mentioned before, he is from South Africa, he speaks Xhosa and is teaching me some of the language.  At the house that we stay at there is Chinama 1, and Chinama 2,( I am in Chinama 2).  In Chinama 1 instead of Elder Horne and Mahaci there is Elder Harper from Sandy Utah, Elder Ngira from Kenya. They are all cool, fun, and good missionaries.  
I have been extremely busy this week.  I have been showing Chinama 1 and my companion our area which, makes for long days.  As a result, this week has been pretty rough.  I am just exhausted by the time I get home, no extra activities, I just plan for the next day and go to bed.  Even though I just go to bed I still feel super tired when I wake up.  This week will be similar, but after that they will know enough about the area and I can take it easy for a bit.  I have been so busy that it has been hard for me to write letters.  I am sorry about my lack of letters; however I do enjoy the letters from my family and friends! 

Today we Helped sister Boma move in the morning then we were going to have a zone-activity at adventure city, However when we arrived we found that it’s closed on Monday’s.  As a result, we just went back to the chapel and had a bri, played some soccer. It was fun. Now, we are just emailing, going to shop and make Chipati for dinner.  Chipati is a dish from Kenya. I will make for everyone when I get home.

It is extremely hot here.  It is suppose to be going into the winter season; however it is about 102 here!
I love you all and I will be back soon don’t worry.  “My son, a peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment; And then, if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high; thou shalt triumph over all thy foes.” D&C 121:7-8
