Dear family and friends

    Everything is going great and we are having fun teaching the gospel and just enjoying Africa. I hope you guys have lots of fun at the cabin and enjoy the fourth of July. Victoria washed our clothes once and now the other elders washer is now working so we will use that so Victoria doesnt have to do it. It was really fun at Zone Conference I got to see some of my good mtc friends and it was really fun and the food was super good. Last Monday on Prep day we emailed and watched the doctine and covenants shows Dallin gave us so that was good and also we have ward single FHE on mondays where we played games and had lessons just normal FHE things ha. After we went to Victorias to drop off our clothes and she made us this huge meal that was so good and she fed lots of people. I really like this area I have heard this is the cleanest areas of the mission and has the best ward family. My companion says I am spoiled because I also came at the colder part of the year in the coolest area plus we just got more money we can spend now! So we dont run out. My favorite food is definitely all the fruits I love the fruits here they are so good so so good. This saturday Brother Martin made us some Katogo with this sauce on it that was good also some Matoke and Fish. I have eaten fish here not my favorite but i still eat it. Today we are planning to go to the zoo with a few other zones and also going to play some basketball and Elder Seabolt is going to make us some cookies and me and my companion some floats. Its going to be fun. My shoes are doing fine and I've only used one pair so far and the pants are wonderful. We wear our suits to church and to meetings but thats it. So this Thursday we get to go to a mission confrence and i guess someone big is coming because the missionaries from Ethiopia are able to come and it's crazy. I will send pictures next week and I think i have some nice pictures too I was just in a hurry today because we dont get much time to write. I love you guys! have fun at the cabin! I miss you stay safe
