This week went by pretty fast for me. Ya it is a little frustrating about last week's baptism but oh well. We just have to do the best that we can and the rest is up to them to decide for themselves. One thing I really learned here is that we can't force anyone to do what we want no matter how badly we want them to do it. With that being the case there isn't really a point to be worried or make a big fuss about it because you aren't going to change anything. I guess that is one thing I've learned is to work hard but take it easy at the same time because stuff happens that is out of our control all the time and we just have to live with it.

I'm glad that Kaylee and Tyler write me too, and I'm glad that you guys don't have to tell them to do it. It's really nice to have them write me every week. Other missionaries have brothers and sisters and stuff but I don't think hardly any of them hear from them every week like I do. I really am lucky.

This week we had transfer meeting. Elder Udall is now the Assistant as I mentioned last week. Elder Harris will go to Matola, and I will have 2 new companions in the office. Elder Henry and Elder Kronk. Elder Kronk is going to Angola so President told me that I need to train him to be the un official Secretary in Angola. Elder Henry is older on the mission, he only has 2 transfers left. So that means that I will either spend 1 more or 3 more in the office so we'll see if President says anything to me. Also Elder Okazaki was transfered to Nampula one of the newer areas. He will end his mission there and Elder Elizeu (who I lived with for 3 transfers in Beira) will come and be the new assistant and live with us. There were a lot of changes and it was an exciting transfer.

Elder Long is going home here in a few days. I'm really going to miss him, he has been a great friend. The worst part about being sec, is having to watch all the missionaries go home because a lot of them are friends and it's really sad to see them leave. Oh well, we also got some teaching in this week which was good. We are teaching Tamiries who was just baptized and her sister Tanha is intrested as well. So they are sitting together and are both doing pretty well.

Anyways that's about all I have to report this week. I'm working on sending some pictures with Elder Smoot when he goes home so be expecting those. He want's to come to our house and actually meet you guys too, not just at his homecoming. He's a great guy and you guys will really like him. anyways, I will talk to you later. Love you!

Questions:
1. What do you do on p-day for fun that's different from Beira?
Well not a whole lot of stuff different. If anything Beira is funner. Here we just run people around all day and every once in a while play soccer or something.
2. What restaurants do you go to? Have you developed a taste for any African foods?
They have some pretty good ones including KFC which still isn't close to the same. Nope, I'm still not liking the mashed up spinich or corn meal mixed with water ha ha! I do like rice and beans now a lot more than I did!
