President Probst: This week has been really good. Langa is nice and we are working with some great families and potential priesthood holders. Even though the rain was pounding Langa this Sunday Theboho still came and is doing great. H e would be baptized but he needs to get his girlfriend out of the house. We are praying for miracles to happen.
Elder Bean is a great missionary. I am grateful to be serving with him. He is kind of running everything right now because I am not as sure what is going on. It's been interesting to have to know what the Zone needs when I have not served with these Elders. But I think of you and how you got a whole mission to worry about and how the Lord has been able to inspire and guide you to know what to do and I know he will do the same for me. ( Just transferred to Langa and called as ZL).
I am grateful for the opportunity to serve a mission. I know we are laying the foundation of a great work. I hope you have a great week. Elder C.
The picture is one from an afternoon after school in our backyard. It was Bryce's birthday but we had not planned a party. The boys just came over to hang out with Bryce. Everyone in this picture is a returned missionary. Well...Daniel is still on a mission--he went later. Some have moved away and some are married.
