Made it to Africa

Hey Family
         I finally made it to Africa. So after I left Butte on got on the plane I met Eric and when we got to Salt lake he kinda helped me out and showed me where to go. At first I forgot some of my luggage and they came and brought it to me. At the Salt Lake airport I ran into Elder Anderson and Elder Whitwhorth.
They were nice and they are both from Rigby Idaho. So we got on the flight and they sat together. I didn't sit close to them. When I got into Chicago the British Airlines check in was going slow. While we were in line we saw some Elders going to Rome for their missions. Then a little bit later came like 13 other Elders who were also going to Johannesburg. Most were going to Uganda but some were going to Cape Cod and Kenya.
So we got on our flight from Chicago to London and I sat next to a french guy named Olivia and he had some questions about the church and I answered them the best I could. I also sat next to a girl who lived in Romania but moved to the USA and she showed me some pictures of Romania. I didn't get much sleep on this plane not because I was talking it was just kinda uncomfortably but still got some sleep. We landed in London and went to eat at this Giraffe place and it was expensive so i just got a smoothie. So me and this one Elder after we ate found some comfy couches and while he slept I watched the luggage and read.
So we got on the flight to London to Johannesburg and I was so tired I just feel asleep. I woke up early and in the clouds I could see lights flashing all over this place and i wasn't sure what it was, but i decided it should be lightning and it was pretty cool.






When we got to Johannesburg we got our luggage and a few African Elders showed up and now I am at the MTC and i got a few extra shots. well it was fun writing you hope to hear from you soon.
Love Russell
