HAPPY FATHERS DAY
I got the package on Friday. Thank you for all the sweets and batteries.
I'm not sure if Stanton got transfered because Mdanstane is very close to
our area, its a diffrent Zone. It is a large Township so all the
missionaries there stay in East London for safety. The Baptism is going to
be this coming Sunday right after church, one of the people getting baptized
is getting married on Wednesday. This P-day we are supposed to go to the
Lion Park but I doubt we will. The last two P-days have been completely
lame. We have not done any thing, just go grocery shopping and drive
around. The weather here is really weird its hot with no clouds one minute
and thirty minutes later it cold and rainy. I can speak alittle bit more
Xhosa. President Egan goes home in 2 weeks, Elder Barton in 5 weeks. I am
not Baptizing anyone, Brother Kiti, the Father-in-law and grandfather is
doing the babtism. We might be helping him baptize them though, because he
is kind of old and weak from diabities. We don't really have any new
investigators... at least not any that are progressing. We could not get in
the cages with the animals, Austin. Whats the red ring? Enjoy your week
talk to you next week.
Love
Braden

This Week's Input on our Missionary!!
Hi Everyone:
Elder Barton is the missionary with me in that picture at the zoo. That’s great and good luck with the job. That’s crazy. Elder Dinkel and Elder Monson do our laundry because they have a washing machine and we don't. But yes I have ironed my cloths. No I have not taken my suit to the Dry Cleaners because we only wear them once or twice a week. Elder Barton and I cook every day for lunch, most of the time. I did take the CTR ring and I wear it to church. My shoes are doing good they have some really big scuff marks though. No I have only had two small blisters on my pinkie toe. Yes I wear my retainers twice to three times a week. I have sent Nancy a Thank you card, if she hasn't gotten it I don't know why. Why does Kiersten want tile in her room? That’s really cool that you guys got to meet the Blue Man Group. There were not any rules at the zoo, so everyone did whatever they wanted to. We fed the animals nuts, and bread. The other Elders taunted the Lions and other animals of pray with mince (ground beef). Our first Baptisms will be on the 22 of June, but we have a wedding for one of them on the 18 of June. We were supposed to have three baptisms on the 22 of June but Papama didn't come to church so we had to drop his date and set a new one. We try to mix the P-days up every week. Since Elder Barton and I don't have a car, we go with Elder Dinkel, the District Leader, and Elder Monson. The Activities are normally with most of the Zone and sometimes parts of the Mdanstane Zone. Every thing we do is within our Zone, because we need President Egans approval to leave the Zone. But we leave our Area every P-day. Next week we are going to the Lion park, the place where you get to hold and play with the lion cubs. But this was the last week of the transferee. Elder Greyling, one of our Zone Leaders, went home today so Elder Barton and I are Elder Roylance, the other Zone Leader, companion until his companion comes tomorrow. All the changes happen tomorrow except for people who go home. We are loosing Elder Monson as well. I don't know the new missionaries that are coming but I have heard that they are really good missionaries. I still have not received your package, and I am still trying to find time to write letters to every one. Today for P-day we are going to play Risk or Volleyball, but I am not sure.
Love all of you,
Braden
