Dear Elder Nielsen:
I pray things are going well. I'm in Southern California this week with Sid generating business. Yesterday we met with Sandy Gould at abc Disney. Sandy worked with Sid and I at RealNetworks. We had a personal tour of the Walt Disney studeo and sound studios. Today we met with the eHarmony staff and did some personal coaching with some of there staff members. Tomorrow we're off to Malibo to meet with HR staff with Dunn and Bradstreet. We fly home tomorrow evening. Saturday morning your mom and I drive to Boise to look for housing. We will more than likely take off at 2am to make it to Boise by 11 for our first appointment. We're going to have pizza with Pam and Kirk Saturday evening. Kirk is doing well with his Kemo treatments, however, cannot be in crowds due to his depleted immune system. We will probably eat with them in an open park somewhere. The Vandals continue to do well. Since I wrote last, they lost to Nebraska, beat UNLV, and lost in the last second to Colorado State. This week they travel to Western Michigan.
Mom told me you received your first assignment to Namibia. This should be an incredible experience for you. Give me the details. I pray for you daily.
Love, Dad

Wow it sounds like you have been pretty busy with work and all that. thats great i knew things were going to pick up sooner or later. thats awesome you were able to get a tour of the disney studios. Right now i am not in Nam (Namibia) im in a town outside of Cape Town called Paarl which in Afrikaans means pear. its a really beautiful town with greenery and mountains all around. there are some nice areas in Paarl and some Ghettos haha. my companion and I have had some interesting experiences so far with the people here. In South Africa you are only considered black if you are dark as night, everyone else who is of brown skin is considered colored. then white people are just whites haha. its really cool here and my companion and i get along pretty well. next week i can have some pictures to show you of Cape Town and ill be taking some pictures of Paarl this week to show you. sounds like the vandals are getting off to an okay start, it seems like they can make it back to a bowl game this year if they really kick themselves into high gear. i got moms package with all the green things in them, that was nice to get along with the letter from colin. So my p-days here are on mondays now not saturdays anymore. I will most likely be here in Paarl from 12-24 weeks because my companion is going home in 6 weeks so i have to get to know the area for my next companion. It has been awesome here so far and i have really enjoyed it. hopefully you find a good deal on a house down in Boise. Thank you for the prayers i will be just fine here. talk to you next Monday.
Love,
Elder C.B Nielsen
