sounds like africa is the place to be right now :) cape town will be so blessed to have them in their mission. maybe when you guys come and pick me up, we can see what we can do about going to see them. it is far far away though. when do they leave?
happy birthday to karli and me! thank you so much for your well wishes :) turns out may is still the best month to have been born in. all of the birthdays in this month were sister misisonaries! way to go sisters! at zone conferrence they sang to us and it was awesome.
anyway, time is almost up.
poor tommy, lost one of his fingers... hope the fish like it. i have a feeling it will not get hime down, i am excited to hear the funny jokes and things he comes up with about his missing finger. great guy, i miss him a lot.
how is the rest of the crew?
turns out my cup is running over, i don't know how i came to love this place so much. it just sort of happened. i think i would be perfectly content to stay here for the rest of my life. i love my companion, i love this area (even though it is in a city), i love the people we teache, the ones we have baptized, the other missionaries, everything. it is great.
the bishop told me i needed to give a talk this last sunday, i prepared and when i got to church and put my stuff on the stand, he pulled me asside and told me he actually didn't need me to speak because those he had assigned came. he was using me as a back up plan just in case oone of the speakers didn't show up. the ones who spoke were less active members who did a good job. despite a couple "halelujias" "amens" and "praise the Lord"'s. another reason i love africa, the people are just so funny.
we climbed the tallest hill in gaborone today, it took us 30 minutes, i took a lot of pictures and will be printing them soon. on the way down we ran into a pack of monkeys. the monkeys formed this wall and i am pretty sure they would have charged us if we wouldn't have run away. the elders ran faster than us and were yelling over their shoulders for the monkeys to take us first! they are so brave. thank goodness our elders are so good to us sisters! ha ha, the most dangerous things here are the monkeys.
the camera, i think i will be getting one here, better not risk having it be taken in the post. not sure when i will get one, but the sd card you sent in a different package has really been coming in handy.
thank you for the love, the packages, (haven't gotten them yet, i wait and am excited everyday to see if the post is here) and all the prayers, they are helping me a ton. please pray that i have patience. i really struggle with that one sometimes.
till next week,
love you,
sister blum
ke tla le bona ka monday! "i will see you on monday" (i don't know how to say write you on monday)
the language, i am the most fluent one of the missionaries save another sister who has been here for six months more than me :) fluent by i know how to say hi, by and ask about families.
