Well I'm still in Bellville...that's our area that we work but it is quite huge as i had said before...we live in a place called Durbanville...just outside of Bellville and we have members that live all over the place. So we're usually driving around a lot to get to each appointment. Our church building is like 15 minutes away...well maybe 10, but it's still quite far. It's a ward as i think i might have said...Anyway i'll tell you about the week..

We did some good old basketball last monday with the zone...it was pretty chill. Tuesday we did some service washing our Bishops car...he's got this massive van thing. As for missionary work it's been a little bit slow this week..just as a heads up. It's mostly white area and Dutch Reform so people hardly ever let us in their home. And a lot of our appointments fell through so i'll just focus on our other stuff we did...Wednesday we did some more service for the Elder Quorum President uh...babysitting...basically. No we moved some stuff...around. haha. K well i'll just tell what happened on Saturday and friday and what not...it was awesome. O yeah and we get fed A LOT in this place. I'm going to be so fat. But it's nice. O and i jumped on a tramp for a little while this past week. It was awesome. I can still do sweet flips. Saturday we hung out with this Korean Family that came here to learn english..dont ask me why cuz SA is not the place to come to do that. But we chilled with the kids and they were playing this Korean Talk show thingy all in Korean and they'd laugh and we'd sit there cuz we couldnt understand...now i guess i know what Heiner and Alex and them go through over in Japan. But a couple of the kids know Tae Kwon Do and we did forms together and i could almost remember. I told him that we had to spar coming up soon. K then Sunday we went over to the Kruger family again and they taught us out of Preach my Gospel and as soon as i walked into their house i saw this skateboard sitting there...and i was like No WAy, i ran up to it and saw that it was mine that i'd been trying to get from up in Paarl. Pres Kruger is the Branch Pres in Paarl and Elder Power gave him the skate to give to me and so it was like an early Christmas when i walked into their home. It was awesome. So me and Elder Gouws will be going to this little skatepark that we found today and it's cloudy so it's a blessing. I think we're just going to go to the mall and stuff too...and play some Volleyball. O yeah we did that on Friday night too.

K this email is pathetic but i dunno what else i can say. Things are good. Miss you guys! Love
