Hey Family,
Well the week here has been really good and things are going
well!! Africa specifically Zambia is really hot and very humid!! If
it rains you stay wet until evening!! The rain here is cool and it comes
down!! I always use to hear about the rains of Africa well haha they were
not kidding when they say it comes down it really comes down!! Me and my
awesome companion Elder Ford were walking down the street with a few ugly
looking rain clouds and some blue sky!! Well as we were walking I told my
comp " No worries it won’t rain" Well about 2 min goes by and a huge
drop hits my comp!! He turns to me and says are you sure!! Well
then all of a sudden we both can hear the pattering of the rain behind us and
realize that the rain is going to hit us, we took off running at top speed
toward shelter!! It was pretty funny considering we are in white shirts
and ties and running down the street and the rain chasing us!! Then right
after we hit shelter the Hail started hitting and they were the size of a
quarter they were huge it was way loud!!
There were no baptisms this week but there are two coming on
the 30th of this month so I am excited for those!! Also It feels like it
is still the middle of the year they do not celebrate Thanksgiving over here
and there is definitely no snow on the ground!! So for the hot weather
people Zambia is the place to be but i wish that some of that white stuff could
fall here!! Mom mentioned that some parts of Wyoming are hitting 20 below,
I would kill for that here but if it happened here everyone that is living
would die!! I also really give kudos to the kids that are in school here they
wear long sleeve button up shirts and sweaters over them to school as their uniform
and I look at them and think why?
Anyway as I was reading emails I came across some interesting
things!! Thank you for the recipe i am going to try it this week!! Also
just a note to mom and dad, you guys might want to pray that Santa brings Kaden
an xbox he obviously really wants one hahaha The comp is still good and
we are still getting along real well in all that we are doing!! Well
District leader is pretty good and fun I will eventually get used to all the
things that are going on and that pertain to the call!! Oh and it is
quite funny here there are a lot of people who always say that they are going
to the mountain to pray, Well I figured out that the mountain that is being talked
about is a tiny hill probably no taller than half way up the hill that we sit
on over looking the little jenny ranch where we go hunting!! It is a
small hill and these people here call it a mountain!! I just started
laughing because these people have never seen what a mountain looks like!!
So I need someone to check on the international driver’s license
for me the one they gave me at AAA I think only lasts for a year and could be
getting close to expiring so if you could go see if it can be renewed and send
it to me please!! It is so if they call me to be Zone leader i will need
a license!! There is nothing that was really that good this week that is
interesting but I am hoping to have some better ones for this upcoming
week!! Also for the Drop box thing I am using it and some of the pics I
took at the beginning of the mission will be the ones that are coming in
because it started from the beginning downloading so we will see how far it
gets!! District conference is coming up so that should be pretty fun and
all!! Anyway have a good week to and a great Monday Love you all!!
Elder Welling
