Moving From the Bush to the Jungle


This is my seminary class in Labotse, I love these girls so much it is hard to leave them behind as we move to a new area.   Their names are Bame, Malefo, Keletso, Thsehgofatso,Tumisong, Refeliwe. and Gorata.


This is couples we have worked with in Botswana.  We will miss them.  Every month we spent a P day together.  This was a trip through the Bush looking at the wild beasts!  From left to right they are the Taylors, Rands, Moss, and the Kimballs. 


My very dear friend Amina.  She has been our landlady in Botswana.    I will miss her.
I think I have spoke of her before.

This  is a picture of a Grandma (GoGo), and a mother.  The Mothers daughter is our primary president in Kanye.  I love the face of the very old women and men they tell the story of their life.


This is Elder Moss and his buddies.   Elder Banda the one with the blue tie is from Malwai.  He came to our house and cried and talked how much he would miss us for 2 hours one day!  He almost had me crying.
This a lot of pictures but I want you to see a few of the reason's why we love Africa.  We love these people so much.   Botswana will always be one of our wonderful memories.

We have been transfers to Nelspruit, South Africa.  It is in Northeast South Africa close to Mozambque and Swaziland.  It is in the state of Mpumalanga...love these African names they are hard to get your tongue around.  We are living in a 2 bedroom flat which is nice.  We will be working in a township 24 K from town by the name of Kanyemazane.   We met with them on Sunday.   they meet in a school room.  There were only about 30 people there.  Many inactives..We have our work cut out for us and understand why we are here.  

My good friend Patty Abraham from Solana Beach and now St. George has been called to serve in the Johannesburg South Africa mission.  It will be so fun to see her in the land that I love.

We miss our family and friends, but the Lord gives special blessings to his missionaries one of which has been a heart full of love for all people  that we meet.

We  look forward to emails.It is a wonderful day when we hear from our family and friends.
Love Elder and sister Moss
