hello family!,
i hope you got my last email, i didn't have any of your email addresses except for karli and i sent one to her but i don't think she got it. i will forward you the one that i wrote her. things are going very well here, i love Africa but more importantly i love the people in Africa. there are only 37 missionaries in the MTC with me, there are six sisters in total, my companion is named sister Nalusiba, she is from uganda. there is one more african sister named sister kogo, she is from kenya. the other sisters are named sister christie, from scotland, sister lovell from Ririe, idaho and the other sister will be arriving tomorrow morning, she is from New Zealand.
i never knew how simple the gospel is. it is so simple and yet has the ability to be so overwhelming. the spirit is strong here, i thought that rexburg was a spiritual bubble, i was wrong. the mtc is a spiritual bubble times 5000000000000. the african sisters have the whole book of mormon memorized, it is crazy! wow, i have a lot to learn, not only do they have the book of mormon memorized, they have most of the bible memorized too. not the D&C though, so i feel a little better. (ps, that is not true, but they do have a HUGE and i mean HUGE, knowledge of the scriptures, i am definitely outnumbered by their knowledge.)
we have a lot of fun here, i love the gospel and i am learning so much about obedience and how obedient i am not
well, time is short, all of the other elders have to get on the computers. hopefully next week there will be enough time for me to share some of my experiences.

ps i learned my first sentence in zulu (the click language) it is , "where is my mom?" i don't know how to spell it in zulu but it is pretty sweet.
