Another week, another dollar... out of my pocket.
Nothing much has really happened here for quite some time. Yesterday was a public holiday, and the email shops were closed, so we got permission to email today instead. For some reason, everyone has waited until this week to ask for our help. It was nice to get out in the sun and do some gardening and spring cleaning though. I needed the change in the schedule. Things were getting a bit repetitive. The African sun is HOT. Even when the temperature doesn't seem to be too hot, the sun seems to sap the strength right out of you. We have been sleeping quite well as a result. Killing a dying missionary has its rough spots, but it also has its perks. We got permission to go with our zone leaders WAY outside our area to a place called Chameleon Village. It is basically a flea market with all sorts of cool African stuff for very cheap. I wish I had more money, I would have bought more souvenirs. Also, on Friday we will have the opportunity for a temple trip. Because the temple has been closed, the returning missionaries have not been able to go in quite some time. They have organized the trip for the departing missionaries and their companions only, so I again feel privileged. We just found out that Elder Holland will be making another trip here, and he will be coming to address us in Gauteng. We have actually known for a time, but the anticipation has finally set in. Apparently he comes here quite often, so I should be able to see him a few more times before I come home. I should also know by this Friday how long I will be staying in Daveyton... We shall see...
Until next time,
--Elder JW Davidson
