Well, I know it’s strange, but this will be the second to last email that I write home from the mission field. I can't believe that you guys leave NEXT WEEK! for the Africa. Man. that is so nuts. This week has gone well. I think it finally hit me that I am leaving. Yesterday was the first day that I began saying, I leave "next week" and so it has been crazy. We leave next Wednesday for Beira and then the next Thurs we will load up on the bus and head to Maputo, and so pretty much for me, the day I get on the plane to Beira, my mission is pretty much over. Strange. I'll teach a few lessons in Maputo, but most of the time will be spent in meetings and what not. So ya, next week it is pretty much over. I still find it so strange and find myself wondering where all that time went.  


Tell Andrew good luck on his finals. I always hated that time, but then again it was nice, because summer was so close. Just one thing, Elder Spencer’s parents are going to send you guys a small package with stuff to bring over. I told him to keep it very small. This week, we've been working to get MLS up and running here in Nampula. We've pretty much got everything working, we just need to get in contact with the Area office and they will do some sort of security update which will allow us to access our MLS records up here, so we're getting excited about all that. Other than that, it was a normal week. But thanks for the note, Andrew's Pic was ridiculous, and I am getting excited for you all to come!
