My Dearest Family,
So guess you are just traveling the world since i left. No its fine i really like it here in Africa. I really cant wait for rainy season though, maybe for sure i'm going to get skin cancer. I think about allo those times i got burnt when i was younger and pretty much everyday i get burnt. No biggy i'm sure with the new technology they have i wont have to worry about it. NO i'm just kidding guys i'm skin is fine. Its just still really hot and i cant wait for it to cool down a little bit.
I can tell the seasons are changing a little bit cause i have a sort of cold. I really didn't know you could get a cold here in Africa but i guess you can.
This week was transfer week so we were a trio companionship for a few days till Elder Elliott was able to finally give birth. Turns out he has a son and his name is Elder Erickson. He is a sweet new member of the family and we are happy to receive him as his uncles. Ummmmm i don't really know what i just said maybe the dayquil is getting to me.
This week we didn't have baptisms which was kind of weird. I don't say that to boast or anything but its really just been a slow week. We are still teaching the Nagbe family and Toe family and they both are going to be baptized in the next coming weeks. Its so sweet to be a laborer in this fine vineyard. I truly love the work, but my skin really could use a brake. Mom maybe you can send some really good sunscreen in the next package it would totally but much appreciated. Speaking of packages i received another one this week which i am very thankful for. Thanks so much i love to get them and they really are very nice to have.
SO i have some bad news maybe that jump-rope didn't even last 24 hours before it busted. If i could could i ask for another one maybe like a big leather one. It would be so sweet. I love you very much. i don't have very much time but i just wanted you to know that i love you.
For me maybe you dont have to worry about me getting too skinny because i really have started to fatten up. Maybe the picture i sent you looks really bad and makes me look anorexic.
Maybe this emailing friends thing is still kind of weird. Its going to take some time to get use to.
I love you very much and miss you like Crazy.
Keep me Updated on everything.
Love,
Elder Skouson
