Excerpts from Mom's email:
We are doing good and we go to the temple the 12 of June. I'm pretty sure, so excited for that haven't been for awhile. I keep warm its starting to get cold now, so well have the heaters out in a bit. I love my comp, he is way cool and funny and we get along pretty well. So I can't complain about that and he goes home the same time as me, because of visa. I am not sure if I mentioned that or not. The power still goes out almost once a day and its sucks when its out when we get home especially when we didn't get fed. But it's okay because most days we get fed so I am so grateful for that. As far as missionary work is going, it's good and were trying to get with the members still. They are taking their time, but its coming along. We wanted to plan to have a talent show, but the bishop said that they already have things planned. I don't see a problem if we are the ones putting it on for the ward, we are still trying to do what we came to do. We walk every other day and have the car every other day as well which makes it nice. We found a new lady just as we were walking, she asked what we do so we made app. Unfortunately we still haven't seen her because she has been busy with family and work. Hopefully this week we can get a hold of her. We try and see a ton of members just to love them and get good relationships. I hope to be with my new companion for another transfer and that will be sweet and if I'm here for another transfer. Then after that I only have 3 months left. That is just weird to think about!!!

Excerpts from Mom's email:
I don't have that much time this week, because we have a meeting to go to. Let me just say that my new comp is nice and much of a relief. He is name is Elder McClellan and he is from Washington state and goes home the same time as me. He also is going home early like many of the others so he suppose to go home in December. Visa I think is why he is going home early. So yeah he has been a member 4 years this past Friday so that is way cool. His family doesn't support him. he was actually kicked out of his house and now he lives with his friends family and they support him and basically they are his family. He is also my age and we get along really well so far. All is well, the other guys had a baptism this past Sunday so that is really nice to get another brother in the ward. It's starting to get cold here, more like last night was a really cold night. I think soon we will be bringing in the heaters haha! We cleaned our flat this past week as well and now it is actually smelling nice and a place that I would want to live haha. I am doing much better now with everything now the new comp is here. Those silver things in the tub are the filters that I was telling you about. yeah when I said that on Skype I mean it was really messy and gross not a place for living. I took pics of it, but it didn't do justice. Temple trip is this transfer, so that will be nice I'll let you know a specific day when it gets closer. I am doing much better now and hope to be here another transfer, so will pray for that. It was nice to talk to you as well and hope that you have a good week.

Interview, transfers coming up and members are starting to give referrals
Email #78

Companion: Elder Hehir
Excerpts from Mom's email:
I love Sister Mphoreng!!! Seriously, she is the coolest lady and I feel like she is my mom too and I just love that feeling that I actually never left home. Haha she told me that you said that I have plans to bring you back here, haha. Maybe we can set that up and start planning for it. You know there are people that you can just love no matter what and the first time that you meet them is just like you have known them for such a long time. Interview was really good and he said good things about the last transfer and that a lot has changed about my companion and other stuff. As far as my release date, it is for sure Oct 27 and it's just because my visa is good and others is not. President Dunn said that I was lucky actually and I do consider myself lucky, because that is just another transfer that I am able to be here and love these people to death. I am hoping that I can be here until I come home it would be along time, but I think it would be so cool. I would really become a member of this ward haha. Yeah member lessons are just time spent with members and sharing with them. It helps them to trust us and to give us referrals when they come and they trust us to give us the people that they think are ready to hear the gospel. As far as I can see, this next transfer will be really good getting referrals from members so hoping that goes well.
