So you want some other truth about what its really like to serve in Africa, This is a great article done to compare and contrast the Book of Mormon Broadway Musical to a real Elder Price that serves. The first part of the Real Elder Price here The second part of the Real Elder Price here Loved these stories and wanted to share.

Well, I don't know what to say. I feel a bit mixed right now. I'm scared to death of coming home, but at the same time I'm excited to see my family and start a life of my own. This has been the best experience I've had my whole life and it is now coming to a close. Last night was my last day of teaching, as Elder Kafeero and I will be leaving tonight for Gaborone and then at about 6:30 tomorrow

1. Please tell me what happens when a baby is named after me. Sam said they can't do that in  his mission because they have like three names. A registered name, a house  name and a street name and it ends up being confusing to them in the end. Do  people go by that many names in your mission? 1. The baby is just named after you. that's it  2.Old question here DO Rhinos really stomp out fires now

He's actually a very cool guy. He's going to bring a strong sense of spirituality to the mission. We had interviews with him on Friday so that's why we met. 2.Also we are wondering if you got your

1. Any particular reason you would prefer to have only us come to pick you up, care to elaborate? Maybe the idea of lots of little kids is a hard one to get used to again is that it or just simply a quick quiet moment alone with us is that it. Or could it be that your just thinking about the long night drive back and kids falling asleep and it would be easier to see them in the morning

Zone leader council took most of the day to attend, but we did have some time to visit an investigator and a member family that invited us for dinner. I'm really excited to apply the stuff to our zone. Wed we had

Not one of us are going to get away from struggles within this lifetime. Some of us have to face ones that seem harder then another. But when we take the Lords hand and we hang on we can and will make it through the hard stuff even if we end up with scars in the end. We must help each other be accountable and heal to the end. Be saved, atoned, forgiven or pay a price whatever the outcome that is

I have been learning about chocolate and found that the higher the what is called cacoa content of the dark kind the better it is for your blood pressure and cancer prevention and stuff like that but of course all in a balanced moderation. What is bad for you is the amount of sugar it takes to make it drinkable. 1.

They have to manage secretions and know how to swallow with the food and the mucus that naturally comes to help make it all slide through the throat area.

1. I wondered what your attitude would be if the Lord needed you to come home early to help save the lives of others as in the case of some of the 45 missionaries that were sent home from Japan to make room for the ones who just arrived and so that the members would focus on rebuilding instead of concern to feeding the missionaries. Or in a possible other reasoning that the Lord would need you

Ok so seeing's how this e-mail is Entitled phone call, I'll tell you the plans. The Senior couple here has offered to let us use their computer, because they have skype.

Tell me if that will work if not

Someone dropped them in our hen house without telling us and so when one of the boys hens died they knew what they had to do. Get them and eat them. This is the boys plucking off the feathers after dipping in boiling water. They brought them in and floured and baked them

Do people there get to go to the temple very often or does it seem very far for them to travel to Johannesburg?1.Well from here it is way to far to travel, and most people don't have their own cars, so if they want to go to the temple, then they have to wait until there is a branch temple trip.2.

They are growing up to be very good helpers this year we did not miss our Missionary as the other two boys picked up the slack and really worked the hay fields. The rider on the tractor is 11 year old Mc who watches to make sure that the bales pick up while the Dad drives a straight line. The two runners are hurrying to roll the bales into straight lines to be picked up by the bale wagon.

One thing that I always do is try and have a conversation with the Lord daily even min by min if the day is tough. And you know I am always talking to the angels that the Lord sends all over this universe to do the extra work that he needs assistance with. Think about that, his church it is a very organized church with a system of people doing a chain of commands in proper lines of authority.
