26th Oct 2013, Assistant to the President, Cape Town, South Africa

Hi Mom and Dad,

We just got a phone call from president about 30 mins ago telling us that we are going to be getting elders coming in to our mission who were supposed to be going to the Kenya mission. Transfer day is on Wednesday and we are only finding out about these things today!

 I won't know all of the details until tomorrow night but there are some crazy things going on! I'm going to be super busy for the next few days! Then, relief...

My mission averages around 40-50 baptisms per month now-a-days. It used to be a lot lower but it has been picking up lately. We just had a baptism today. It went really well. I'll attach some photos! Love yah!

 

So some pretty crazy stuff is going on! We just got two new Elders who were supposed to be going to the Kenya Nairobi Mission, but some visa problems occurred so they have come to our mission.

  So yah turns out that one of the Elders coming to our mission is from Canada! Even better he's from Raymond!!! Elder Kash Ellingson is here! I was able to pick him up from the airport and I've been with him all day! It's been sweet! We've just been talking about Raymond a lot! It's pretty crazy!!! Anyways, here a picture!
