I made it here to botswana! The people here are so kind and happy. i have met so many wonderful people already, and yesterday I got to witness my first baptism. Her name is Bakang, and she just started investigating last week! She is awesome. I was so happy for her. So that was a great way to start off my mission.
It is different here in that the houses are very dimly lit, only one light for the whole house it seems, so that is different. And goats and horses just roam free, crossing the street whenever. OH, and so do the people by the way. The just cross the street wherever whenever. I am driving and my companion keeps telling me I should just drive and they will get out of the way, but I don't want to hit anybody. That will take some getting used to! As for driving, I am already comfortable with driving on the wrong side of the road. It really didn't take long to get used to, everytime I started driving I just said to myself "the left side, the left side" But now I don't do that as much!
It really is a different world over here. So many people crammed into tiny houses with dirt floors. It is definitely an eye opener, but the people are wonderful. No one is rude, that is definintely a big change from Americans. No one slams doors in our faces, they all listen to what we have to say, they don't always accept it, but they always listen and thank us for our message!
Well, being a missionary is fun, but it is hard, and sometimes intimidating, but I am getting better and better by the day! Well, until next week.
Take care, I love you all, and miss you all more than you know.
