Hello,
How is everything going? I am now in a township called Tembisa. My companion is Elder Sithole, who is from East London, South Africa. This is my third South African companion in a row. He has been out for three months, he is still in his greeny area. We stay in a four man flat in Kempton Park with Elder Petersen who cam out in the same group as me. He is training Elder Stewart who just came from the MTC. Elder Petersen and Elder Stewart serve in Hospital View which is right next to Tembisa. Tempisa is sweet; itis very similar to Pimville, the people live the same way and do the same things. The best part is that the ward actually functions like a ward! It was so nice to go to church and just sit and listen without having to teach a class or give a talk. We have a lot of sweet people in our teaching pool. There isn't a KFC in our area but there is one right next to where we live. We 've had three DA's since I've been here and I haven't had to eat pap yet so things are looking good. I heard about Justin,(oak city) I was talking to Elder Hare(Delta) at transfers and he told me about it. I also saw Elder Nielsen (Leamington) and talked to him for a few minutes Botswana had a completely different vibe, everything just slows down in Bots, it is hard to explain but it has a different feel than SA. We get to watch conference this week-end. I hope all is going well; I will talk to you next week.
Love Elder Finlinson
