had a exchange with the district leader, Elder Tree, in a town called Soshenguve. Talked to a lot of cool people, met a lot of people, and met a family with the newest and softest puppy ever. The first dog I've pet since i got here. That was a good time. That was Tuesday.
Wednesday we couldn't go to the area, because of reasons, so we played some games ate some food. Got some prep done for the fiesta. not a lot really happened
Thursday was pretty normal, met with some cool people. A member named Sabelo and his family are supper friendly. They said that if we ever have some time to kill, and want something to eat, just stop by and take some bread or chips, no appointment necessary. They're the best. super nice, and very strong family.
Friday we spent the whole day doing final prep for the fiesta, bought all the food and prizes, and then spent 4 hours making 160 tortillas by hand. it was fun.
Saturday was the fiesta. I was in charge of cooking. So i made a whole lot of tacos. most people had never had one so that was fun. We played bingo, and the members were waaaayyy into it. Ive never seen a more competitive or serious game of bingo. We then did minute to win it games, and then the pinata. The kids lost their minds. we put so much candy into that thing. Then we watched the cokeville miracle movie. Then we went and ate Kota, the bread meat and fries thing thats like a the size and filling-ness of a betos burrito, for about $1.50, and then slept.
Sunday was average. Good service, taught some members ate some good food. nothing special
And then today, the reason this email is later than normal, we went on a safari. we had to leave the flat at 5 am but I saw girrafe, zebras, rhinos, so many weird deerish things, birds. Im gonna send like 10 emails worth of pictures it was unreal. There will be some videos with it too. so those are coming.
Time has flown, already almost through the first transfer. Learning more about the culture and language. We had a member write us a bunch of phrases in setswanna. So expect some foreign words in next weeks letter.
I get to lead the area tommorrow on an exchange with the Assistant to the President Elder Hafen
More pictures to come, gonna take a few emails and elder fitz got most of the good aminal pictures with his crazy nice camera so hes downloading all those, if re run out of time ill send them next week. but ill make sure you get them.
