The people we baptized

Some of our investigators.

I'm doing fine. We baptized 3 people yesterday and next week we are baptizing one more and the 31st we have 9 to baptize. We have pictures of a party one of our investigators invited us to. It was very fun. We are treated with great respect. Many want to email me when I get home. So cool!!! The kids have primary here but all ages are together. That’ s here in the branch. Otherwise the groups don't have anything but sacrament meeting. Our building in Kitwe is a rented house and the one here is an office building. We are very grateful for the building we have and the resources we have. We still haven't seen conference yet we'll see it soon. Transfers are coming up soon. I’m excited about that.

We just had a brii (br-i)- a BBQ and I had a HUGE steak.(at the above mentioned party) I couldn't finish it. I’m losing loads of weight here as I run and sweat. We played some soccer and had a good time. Sister Esplin and Elder Esplin tasted my steak and loved it. I’m the best cook in Zambia mission. Haha! . Yesterday I had spinach and feta bread. Sooo good but cost me a fortune. 14,000 (about 3 bucks).  Allotment has been hard this week. Allotment is the money I get supposedly every two weeks. 500,000. (100 US) So every week we have $50 to live off of. I sleep like I do back home but as I leave the AC on the bugs leave us alone. I only have 1 spider bite so it’s all good. By the way if I don’t get malaria this month there is little chance I'll get it this year. Also, Zambia is the only place where malaria is a threat so I’ll be fine. So don’t worry :)

 Oh!! Our automatic car stalls all the time. It’s crazy!!!! We named our car Josephine. We also learned that if you’re riding an elephant or lion here you can ride on either side of the road. Encouraging. Please send me my driver's license. Love you all.
