Week# 5

Another amazing week in the field!!!

Etwatwa is thriving! We had a very busy week of teaching new people and especially of visiting less active families. The people here are so humble and most of the time they will let us in to share a message with them! I was expecting a lot more rejection then we have been having so far so that is great hahah!

We had zone conference on Wednesday in the Chapel right across the street from the MTC so it was a little weird being back there. I saw all the missionaries there and it hit me like... 
"wow I'm a real missionary now hahah I'm one of the cool guys"

Once again this week was full of very interesting meals! More Walkie Talkies (chicken feet), amancina (cow leg) which is picture below, and some cow intestine dish hahah they were all pretty good again surprisingly. I think I was meant for South African Cuisine!

Agh I wish I was better at writing these thing but I never know what all to talk about hahaha. I'm sure my letters will get better and better as we go!

Love and miss everybody!

Elder Mumford just found out today that his girlfriend Lauren Copeland will be serving her mission in Jacksonville, Florida. She will enter the Provo MTC on Sept. 25th...this was his face when we talked about it. The bad thing was his microphone wasn't working so I couldn't hear him. But his face said it all. I heard he stood up and gave all the other missionaries (8) a high five!
