The transfer is coming to an end, and Elder Mcknight is headed home. He is ready to go. I'm glad he was able to finish strong. It has definitely been an enjoyable 3 months. I should be out of Daveyton in another 6 weeks. I really need a change of scenery and some new experiences. I love the people here, and the thought of leaving is quite sad, but it is a necessary, not to mention inevitable, change. I don't know who my new companion will be, but Elder Mcknight said that it was an African. He saw his picture next to mine in passing as he left his final interview. I'm sure he will be an ok guy, but if not, I will only be with him for a short 6 weeks. This last week has been full of goodbyes for Elder Mcknight, so there hasn't been much that has gone on. We went to see a sister on Sunday, and not wanting to break the sabbath, she sent her 7 year old daughter to a kota shop to buy Elder Mcknight his last Kota. On her way back, she dropped both of them in the dirt, so we had to go through and remove everything inside and put it on fresh slices of bread. We also had the opportunity to go to a few weddings this week. If the people get married in the church, they have a combination of traditional and modern syle wedding. It is really quite interesting for some parts (mostly the traditional ones,) but there were many boring parts as well. Hopefully the coming week is full of change...we shall see...
Much Love,
Elder JW Davidson
