Goodbye MTC Hello South Africa

The time for training and cafeteria food is over. Our brains are exhausted because of all we have been taught about computers and data, but it is saying good bye to the wonderful friends we have made at the MTC (Missionary Training Center) that causes us to feel a bit melancholy. We know we will meet them again. The Staggs and the Bakers are serving in the Congo and in Nigeria so it is possible we will meet at an area Conference some time. We hope so.

This is our new friend Elder Mthalane who is a Zulu from Durbin, South Africa. He is headed for Tallahassee, Flordia. He said he was use to humid weather and thought he would feel at home there. He showed Norriss the South African hand shake. I think he is going to be a fabulous missionary. He is full of enthusiam and a love of the Lord that is very uplifting. We hope to meet his family when we are in Durbin sometime.

I'm so tired that that's all for now. But much more to come!!!
