So ya things here in africa are hot. And only getting hotter. And esh my area is tough, but its good to have some hard challenges once in a while. But ya were still working hard and mission is good. So my mission president comes next week. It should be interesting to see what he does the first few months. Have to sit back and see. But i think he will be a good mission president like president taylor. So as for me this week, was an okay week. I can say mission can be tough sometimes. So this past week i went on exchanges with my trainer. I got to go to ubungo to teach with him. It was good, it brought back alot of good memories of my first transfer. By the way the new president is coming next week. And this week is the last of this transfer so we will have to see who will get transfered. If i dont get transfered i will hit my 6 month mark in my first area. Which im cool with that Changombe is good, but its really tough work. My area is hard, but i like it. So something interesting happened today after we got done cleaning the flat. My comp was about to get in the shower and this lady knocked on our door. I answered and she didnt speak a word of english. But she asked if she could come in and i was like no. And she was asking where the mama was. And i was like there is no mama that lives here. And then she asked what time the mama would be back. And i again said that its just me and my companion that stay here. So she just kinda looked at me irritated so i said goodbye and slowly shut the door. Esh it was kinda akward. So ya also something weird that happened today we ran into a American. He was from Miami. Still not sure why he was here, but he says he has been here for a month doing something. But he was a cool guy, i hope we get to see him again. By the way he sounds way funny. I had a hard time understanding him. But it was cool to run into another American. Dont see many of those running around. So they are planning on opening up new area in TZ. In fact i think they are planning to make it its own mission. I think that its going to happen while im on mission. Its the swahili, many many many people dont speak english just swahili. So i think that they will start teaching in swahili soon. Im not sure though just my thoughts on this. They have had some church people come and check it out and interviewed people about the english problem. So anyways Kirk should be coming next week i belive. I think i know where he is going to be born but we will have to wait and see. And by the way im excited for uncle john. Im glad that things are starting to go good for him. I hope his business will continue to grow. So ya i dont have much time today sorry, we are going to teach this awesome lady. We taught her last week, and it went very well. Im excited to teach her again. She has a small family, husband and a child. So ill have to tell you how this goes next week. So ya also next week transfer news, man thats always some intense stuff. Ya and i heard about USA losing to Ghana. Alot of people came up to me and told me. I was like ya thats cool. I think they wanted a different reaction from me. So ya thats cool Jessica T came to hang out with you guys. I wished i could have been there to hang out with all yall. Ya there is some southern accent for ya. I told that to one of our investigators who thinks he has an american accent. It doesnt sound like one, at all so i gave him the example of the southern accent and he thought it was weird. So as for me i gotta run to a appointment. Im excited to teach it the lady is awesome.So ill have to write you more next week. So i hope you have a good week, and ill tell you how things go down.
