For those of you that have not heard, I have a Tongan companion.  No he is not very big, he is bigger than me, but that's not hard to do.  I am still in Gugulethu and am now leading the area.  Trying to teach an area here is very hard because the roads make absolutely no sense.  Why?  OOOOH a good question.  So here in Gugs every road is an NY.  Now you would think that NY's are good, there's NY1 and then the next street would be NY2, right?   WRONG NY1 is on one side of the area and NY2 is on the other side and guess whats in the middle NY134.  Where the heck are the other numbers.  Luckily I know them but trying to teach them to a new guy is not fun.  Stories for the week though, Eh?

Story Number One:  Tripanionship

So the first day with Elder F. we were getting ready to go to the area and we get a call from the Assistants, and were asked if we could take Elder T. with us to our area today.  Of course we can and it was absolutely perfect Because Elder F. was not feeling well at all so it surely was a blessing from God, and he was  a super powerful Elder. 

Story Number two: Pickled Fish

So the Capetonians, yes that is the correct terminology for that, have a tradition.  Every year on Easters you eat pickled fish and hot cross buns.  Luckily one of the ladies in our Branch her name is Mama Xesi, makes the best pickled fish.  And I am gonna have to be honest, that fish was super nice.  The buns were all right but the fish was awesome and it was the first time my companion had had fish on mission. He has served in Eastern Cape his whole mission.  He was very happy to have fish.  

Sorry for the shorter letter today there wasn't a whole lot happening in Gugs. We hiked table mountain which was absolutely breathtaking. I would send pictures but I did not take my camera up the mountain with me. Xolo.

So long and thanks for all the pickled fish!
