Week 42: June 27, 2011

Hello Family and Friends,

I finally have attached some pictures for you all. The first is a picture of Fish Hoek from a hill top nearby, and the second is from yesterday's baptism. Sister Fridah was baptized by brother Dallyn Mclean a priest from the branch. We are having a whole bunch of success here in Fish Hoek. The missionary work is just booming, we are dead tired at the ending of each day.

This week President and Sister Probst leave for home and President and Sister Wood Arrive to replace them. On Friday we will have a Meet the President Zone meeting and will be able to have an interview with President and receive instruction from our Zone Leaders. Just this last week in our last meeting with President Probst, he told us of some of the changes that are happening in the missionary department. I won't go into all that great of detail but to keep it short missionary work is getting much more technologically advanced. It is a very exciting time to be out in the mission field, maybe not as comparable to the time PMG came out but still it is cool to see how much more effective we can be as missionaries doing the Lord's work.

Colin, it sounds like you have got a steep mountain to climb with doing what sounds like a crash course in aviation, I know you will do great because you love flying and when we do what we like we always succeed.

Ariel and Brian, I am sure you are loving waking up every couple of hours in the evenings, I continually pray that you will have a safe move and be able to adjust well into your new environment, take Luck!

To all my buds who are soon departing for their missions, especially Phil, good luck and cherish the time you have in the MTC.

Love you all,

Elder Nielsen
