Baptism coming up

Email #75
Area: Kwa Guqa
Companion: Elder Hehir

Excerpts from Mom's email:

This week was a little better and I have adapted to some of the things that can get tough. This week has gone by faster and smoother. My companion is a good missionary, he loves to work and be obedient as good as we can. This area is really nice, I like it here just not used to it yet. The members are really nice, I think Cosmo was my most favorite area so far. If there is one area that I will go back to before I come home, that is that place. President Dunn usually lets you go back to an area for a day before you leave. I love sister Agnes and the Maake family, I miss them so much!!!! They are family to me and hope to see them again.

Excerpts from Dad's email:

The area is doing okay, we got a baptism this coming Sunday. His name is Miracle. He is 18 and has a good knowledge about the gospel. There is one family the Mphorengs that are members that I absolutely love! There is always one family that you consider your own in each area and leaving them is like leaving you guys, but to be honest its a little harder to leave them because you aren't sure of the next time you will see them. Its like that with you guys, but I know I have forever with you. Its funny and sad, but they never said in the call letter that you would have to leave your family more than once. We are trying to work more with members. Tracting is tough and I don't really like it, but it works here. But then the next time you have an appointment, they cancel or don't show. So we are trying to get the members on board and more excited. My companion is from England and been out 10 months or so. Leaving is so scary and I don't want it to happen to be honest. I have had so many life changing experiences and have met some of the most amazing people. It will be so hard to leave this, but not forget of course.
