Well it has been a good week, though nothing real exciting has happened.  We did have a Zone Activity last week, we went to Lake Cheveru and played soccer and had a braai.  It was a really fun day and for whatever reason I was actually doing really good while we played soccer.  It was weird, usually I am just ok at it, but last week I was doing powerful.  We also had another Specialized Training on thursday.  It was really good.  We had instruction from Elder Taggart, he and his wife are the senior couple in Zambia.  We also heard from Elder Mayfield, I told Sister Mayfield that you guys saw the video, she was happy that you got to see it.  We also heard from President Dube.  We are planning to do a Bi-Stake Family Fun Day on May 7.  Each of the ward or branch leaders are supposed to assign members to bring less actives or to bring a referral to the activity.  They will be playing all kinds of games and things.  Each ward or branch is supposed to put together a soccer team and then they will have a tournament.  The winner of the tournament will play the missionaries, but they don't know that they will play us yet, that is a surprise.  I hope that I will still be in Harare for that.  But I will know tomorrow though because we get our transfers tomorrow.  I have know idea whether I will stay or not.  We are pretty sure that this is the transfer that President want's to get us in the mission that we will be in.  So we will see.  They won't have a satellite broadcast at the church.  We are going to President Dube's house to watch it.  It doesn't start until like 6 at night here though.  The wards and branches will get to see it when the DVD's come in like May.  We are still planning to baptize Nyasha and one of Brother Musauki's kids (the other two aren't ready yet), and also another girl who we thought was a member already named Josephine Mbiriwiri.  So hopefully that will take place.

I got an email from Bishop Eves today and was able to reply to him.  I sent Rhett a letter 3 or 4 weeks ago.  I am surprised that it isn't there yet.  I was actually expecting a reply in the next week or two.  That's great that there are some teaching jobs in Parowan again.  I will pray for you to get one.  That is great that Brandon is going to Pennsylvania.  I haven't heard about anyone going anywhere since I left. 

Dad I actually read that message from President Uchtdorf yesterday, I really liked it.  It was actually something that I had been thinking about this week.  I can't believe that the final four has that many lower seeds, it sounds like it has been a powerful tournament.  Cheer for Butler for me.  I will be waiting for the results.  No I actually miss a washing machine more than someone to wash because we had to pay for her to wash for us plus we still had to do our garments which are the worst to wash.  A washing machine would be a lot easier.  So I either have to be the DL or ZL here in the Harare South Zone or an AP because those are the only houses that I know of that have a washing machine.

Well I hope that all is well at home.  You are always in my prayers.

Love,

Elder Cecil
