Ola família!!!!

Hey everyone!!! thanks for your letters this week:) They really helped me out a lot. Thanks for all of your help mom dad and Karen with finding a job! You guys are so amazing for helping me out!!! It sounds like your are all a staying way busy too.

Well our week went way fast. Mariquele and I only had like 2 days to work in our área this week, but we did get to go down to Lubango with presidente and his wife for half of the week.

Luckily this time we didn't have to take the stupid bus again:) President was so gracious to let us tag along with him and sister on the airplane!!! Boy, on the airplane there aren't chickens or crying children, and there was air conditioning:) há há ya man that was so sick!! há há

While we were there we had a little zone conference. It was so awesome!!! As soon as we all sat down and the zone leaders started to announce the program, the light went out... So what did we do? Well, a show must go on, so we got in a circle and, using presidentes and sisters lights on their iphones and ipads, we had our conference:) There were times in the conference that I would look up and I couldn't see the faces of the elders, but, because of their voice, we could tell who was speaking:) Ya, it was really sweet!!! Honestly one of the best meetings that I have seen!

I don't know if I have ever written about this, but in Lubango there is a tribe called the mumhilan tribe. When you think of tribal people from Africa, these are the people that you are thinking of down to the clothing which is none existente. há há!  So, while I was on a division with elder Brown were were trying to make some contacts and we weren't finding a whole lot of people. As we were coming up the street there were three mumhilan woman in all of their glory just chilling on the side walk:) há há so very tactfully we turned around and went back where we came from. há há

Anyways I love you all so much and wish you all a great week!!!!
