We teach daily

The landscape looks like Rwanda almost exactly, just the red dirt and hills all over the place with vegetation of sorts mixed in all over. I don't know if i would call it a suburb or what exactly it would be but its like a town, kinda like Dewinton to Calgary, its sorta that same idea.  We do teach people every day, a lot of them are goofballs and don't really listen and stuff like that, but we do teach daily.  Apparently we have more than 2 baptisms scheduled for this weekend, but they aren't related but they're both pretty young. The one guy's name is Mfundo and he's 15, he's a good kid, he introduced his dad to the church, and his dad got baptized a couple months ago, we spend a lot of time at their house, their mom is so super cool she rocks but she refuses to get baptized because she switched like a million churches in her life  but she's awesome and just loves missionaries. 
The other girl is named Thando and she is 9 and her mom is a member but isn't active and her dad is not a member but basically knows everything in the church better than I do, he's going to be a bishop some day mark my words, anyway the parents aren't married so thats the only reason the dad isn't baptized because he needs to be married first, but they're great people and they as well love the missionaries. They're both fairly ready minus their attention spans being kind of small while we are teaching them but they want to live the gospel so thats good. There's a lot of baptisms in the mission but then they become less active right after because they just hurry into it because they like the missionaries and don't want to disappoint them so then after those missionaries get transfered they don't go anymore, which is sad. Pday consists of shopping laundry emailing and soccer and thats about it, one of these days we might get to go to a soccer game which would be cool. Well that's all for now. 
Love you 
Elder Eric
