Well, this thing drives me crazy as when we post a picture, the one we want won't come up, but since we love the rest of our family's blogs maybe it is time for us to get active again. We are loving our mission but were so sad to leave the Ladysmith-Ezakheni area as we knew everyone and loved and were loved. Now we are just trying to figure out the layout of Madadeni which is no easy assignment. We loved having Joyce and Dan here for a week, and exposing them to Africa in so many different ways. They experienced the beauty, the wild life, and best of all the people, especially the African peoplel. It was a quick week and difficult to see them go, but it just means that we are down to our last 4 1/2 months which will go quickly. We soon, in a couple of week s will be the most senior of the sr. missionaries. We have learned that not only can we handle the 24/7 together thing, but for most of the time we really enjoy it. We have learned much more depth about the church, faith, and our relationship with our Heavenly Father. And also at this time of the year, it is hard to feel much Christmas when it is 90 degrees and 90 percent humidity. We do miss our children, especially when we see their blogs and how beautiful each and every one of them are.
