Dear everybody,

Another week gone by.

Not too much to report on I guess. Things are doing quite well. A nice week for sure. We found 9 new investigators, which is quite good, exactly 140 contacts, and 16 total lessons. We still haven't been able to hook up again with Kelvin Sichone, but we will definitely find him this week. Brother Bulawayo has found a temporary job in town (here they call it a "piecework") so we weren't able to teach him this week. We received a referral from a recent convert (Stanley) in the Matero branch so we visited his two aunts who live together in Chelston. One of the aunts is actually a police officer and they really enjoyed the Restoration lesson. So much that two days later they showed up to church! The Relief Society sisters in the branch really fellowshipped them well and they loved it. Also, yesterday in sacrament meeting, Elder Rasmussen, myself, and a branch member performed a musical number. We sang hymn #335 Brightly Beams Our Father's Mercy. It was really cool. I love music.

We have started to visit members a little more often. We'll try to visit one member/family each day. We have several member families in our area. Yesterday we visited the Wamunyima family (Lozi from Western Province). I am attempting to learn another Zambian language called Lozi from them. It is a cool language. Mtozichwani means how are you. They are "old" members from 1994 or so. They are a good family, even though the father is a bit strange. . . The mother has fallen less-active because of work. A lot of the old members in the branch have family members who sort of just drift away slowly. It's really a concern. Another family, the Mwambas, are suffering from the same kind of thing. It's sad because the parents just let the children drift away without really doing anything. So we are trying to visit those families and figure out how we can help them.

Tomorrow is zone conference! President Bester is still in Johannesburg, so President Sanford who stays here in Lusaka will be presiding.

I love you all! This is the true church of the Saviour Himself!

P.S. I have not received any packages from Grandma Shirley or Grandma Warr. . .and I haven't received the keyboard class or the Ensign or stamps. I've heard from Mike twice now.

P.P.S. We met a man with the first name, "Trousers." Haha.

P.P.P.S. I am currently living with the three trunkiest missionaries EVER!
