Everything has been great! It's been very eventful here in Fish Hoek! My companion Elder Wilhelmsen is great! It's been fun! We live near the ocean and a place called Kalk Bay, and I think its super nice here way different then in the middle of the desert.. haha but in Fish Hoek there are 2 areas: town and a township. We work in the township called Masiphumelele or Masi for short!
It has been a interesting change from coming from a village in the middle of "cotton pickin' nowhere"... haha, I miss Ilinge though!
But Masi is sweet we have a lot of great people from the ward and our investigator pool! It is very different though its very tight and the houses are very very very close!! It's super packed and tons of people.
We also have a part of our area that is called the wetlands where its just full of shacks and it recently all burned up in flames! So now there are a ton of people homeless and the streets are even more packed then before!
The ward is very nice and its always nice to have english speakers :) haha the western cape is nice! or should i say civilization is nice haha but its good to see all the missionaries I haven't seen in a while!
I've always felt young on mission still be now its like I cant use the whole "I'm still young on mission" excuse when I do something wrong... haha but its all good now! :)
For Thanksgiving.... I didn't do anything... I know that I was planning on doing some crazy thing... but I was just so busy with the area and the new companion that I totally forgot I just realized today that I forgot about it!! I'm not too happy about that though, but its whatever... :( now I'm just going to make Christmas even more crazy cause I forgot Thanksgiving!!
I can't wait to get my package this week!! It will be nice!!! I will definitely take lots of pics!!
Overall it's been a nice week! I am always grateful to get emails from all the family!! I love you guys and I hope that you have a great holiday!!
Love you!
