So i wrote this letter last week and i guess it didnt make it soory i guess you get 2 this week!!!!

Letter #1:

This was a good week, I am having so much fun with my companion he is so funny and he really is helping me learn this language. This week we taught alot of lessons but Elder Wade is in the Branch Presidency in our Beira 1 Branch. So we spend alot of time at the church. But when we are out of the church we are always teaching lessons. We have 2 investigators that will be baptized this next week Jose and Jemose these guys are way cool and got their baptisimal interveiws last night. We have a lasdy named Sonia that we Comitted to baptism this week also the 27 of December so that should be pretty awesome. So much goes on in a week that it is hard to remember it all, but we had our Primary program yesterday at church it was awesome i thought i was back at home i found out wherever you go the kids in the church are exactally the same. The kids here are awesome i love to mess ariound with them i think i have a couple of freinds but their all little kids. For some reason little kids like me. I buy candy every monday and i give it to them at church so maybe thats why. Thats so cool that Scott and Rachael had to speak that must have been fun. Kurt is sounding pretty anxious to have that baby and Julie sounds like she just wants it to be over. jk I can't wait for the pictures i keep telling everyone i'll be an uncle so i guess 'm pretty excited also. Sorry about the short letter last week the internet wasnt the best but it's working good today. Last night we went to teach a lady and we ended up with 3 new investigators it was awesome. I've been taking alot of pictures of the bugs and the animals i see so hopefully if i can get on a good computer that isnt filled with viruses i can send them to you. Mom i got some things you can send me if you want but it's just candy. War Heads, Smarties, Licorice or anything else you feel i will need. I can tell you already im gonna have some gross white shirts here in 2 years. They seem toi like to hold dirt. But i'm saving a suit and a white shirt throughout the mission. Sadie thanks for the letter its good to hear from ya is work going alright. Lucky you 75 dollars for babysitting. I bet your getting pretty excited for the baby. Dad i hope you get that job that would be awesome i will continue to pray for you. How are the Jazz doin? Well thats all that i can think of to write so i look forwards to reading all your letters next week and seeing those pictures.

Letter #2:

Dear Fam,

That is so awesome i was so excited to see those pictures it made my day, and Dad that is awesome i am so glad you got that job. Ainzly is so cute she is awesome i bet everyone is proud of you Kurt and Julie. Thanksgiving was weird bedcause they don't celebrate it here but we had zone conference the day after thanksgiving and we had an awesome meal mashed patatos turkey it was awesome ice cream. This week has been a good one we had two baptisms on Saturday it was awesome It is a cool feeling when someone you have been teaching is baptized. Yesterday at church we confirmed them and i got to stand in the circle awsome. We have been teaching alot of people and i feel like i am understanding alot more things people are saying, but it is so hard to say things but it will come. Today we are having the Turkey Bowl for P-day activity it should be pretty fun. Tell Scott i want a letter from him. Oh ya the other dat i actually saw a real monkey it was awesome. Things are going great here in Africa, i am having the time of my life. I was gonna tell you, you might want to go buy like a 1000 minute phone card so that you can talk to me on christmas we will be calling on Christmas eve so at home that is 2 days before christmas but i will give you some more info when i know more about it. but it takes like 700 minutes of the card just to connect. But they said the best way to do it is to have you call me. Mom if you havent sent my package yet some chocolate would be good too. I came here on the first hole on my belt and after one month i am on the 5th hole. I have never walked this much in my life but it is so fun. I guess i will go for this week but i want to let you all know i love ya and look forward to letters from all of you next week.
