Hey Dad, How is everything? Everything for me is going great.
I'm not sure how many missionaries are on bikes but I sure don't want to be one of them. We went on exchanges a week ago. I was pretty excited to be on a bike to see what it was like. Oh man I hated it. It was the most that i complained on my mission so far. It rained i got one of my shirts dirty, I was trying to ride with my shoulder bag, lol it was miserable. Heavenly Father will humble me a lot if he gives me a biking area. And now that i have said that he probably will.
We are baptizing a family next week. The Letsipa family. They are all awesome. I was pretty disappointed when Elder Redd said that they all wanted him to baptize them and none for me, But I'm happy now I don't mind. The important thing is they made it :)
One of our investigators went in for surgery to get a catorac removed. In a very shady township hospital. We were going to give him a blessing but he was gone before he got there. The doctor FORGOT to put the lens in when he finished. So now Brother Morare can't read the Book of Mormon. And they set his appointment for the end of July, to put the lens in. So things are going alright.
That's pretty cool to hear about John Huntsman. I'm pretty sure that Pres Poulsen knows him. Because he went to Taiwan on his mission as well.
Well I'm glad that Hannah's birthday went well. I'm sending her present and yours at the same time. So you guys will probably get them some time in June.
Anyway i love you Dad. keep up the god work. You guys will be fine. Because I know your doing the right thing. :)
Sincerely your second born in the wilderness... Benjamin

Hey Dad, how are you doing? It was so good to talk to you yesterday. It was really weird though lol. But anyway I'm glad to have gotten the opportunity.
Yeah pres. Zuma. Everyone down here likes the guy. But there are some sketchy things with this guy... but your right I hope that he does some good.
Yeah eggs are doing me some good. Our pans are retarted though. The non-stick stuff rubbed off like after the first week... but i scramble and boil eggs so they are working for me. Fruit too. I eat a lot of bananas. And 100% juice as well. Its really good over here. We have a George Foreman grill as well. So me and another Elder have gotten into grilled cheese and ham and stuff. Slowly but surely I'm figuring out food.
I'm glad that mothers day went well. I can't tell you how happy I am to here that the family is doing so well.
I love you guys so much. Keep doing what your doing. You guys are going to be fine. We just have to have hope and faith.
