Christmas in the MTC‏

Hello to all from the MTC on Christmas! For those who don't know me and my companions have been district leaders starting the beginning of this week going til the end of the MTC time. But ya not quite christmas with no snow or mountains. So in reality it's hard to believe it's christmas. It's kinda missing that Christmas spirit. But oh well I guess that's christmas in Africa for you. It's not as big for them here. Like in Zim they don't even buy trees.....But anyways we played Volleyball on christmas morning. It was a fantastic sunny day with a cool breeze. Our team won, and went undefeated. 6 games in a row! Who knew we were good at volleyball. After that we had a devotional with the area 70 and their wives. It was Elder Koelliker and Watson. It was pretty cool. After that we had Christmas lunch with turkey and mash potatoes and vegitables. The Africans say they usually have a big chicken or a goat. So little heads up for next christmas. Next week it's out in the field and lots of people to teach. I've already told some people this but if you can find it watch pioneers in Africa. It's powerful! The people here in Africa are ready to receive the gospel! The word "Powerful" is used so much here. Like people will say, "oh that man, he's a powerful man", or "That's a powerful tie." The use it on everything. That and they put ketchup on everything. And when I say everything I mean everything. Bread, pankakes, Beef, Mashed Potatoes, Papa, French toast, you name it they put ketchup on it! Only in Africa. This week has flown by! If that's how the rest of my mission will be it will be over before I know it! I bet it will because there is so much work to be done. I've told a few people this but one of our teachers brother Mokolobate, He just got back from his mish in Zim 3 weeks ago. But he baptized 45 people on his mish! That's just rediculous. I'm going to start getting pnemonia (spelt right?) My mish is the highest baptizing mish in the world and Africa is ready to receive the gospel! Well that is it for now. Here are some pics.... One of them is especially for Alex and is just like his last Christmas one XD But just awesomeness going on here. Talk to you guys later today on the phone.
