Raining and Baking!

 So, Caleb eluded to driving for the first time last week.

This week he shared video of driving in a rain storm.

He let me know he was not the one driving in the video! He does think the storms there are really cool! 

His adventure with driving

was less exciting, only driving to their church house on a clear day. 

It looks like he enjoyed baking this week. Caleb does like to try to bake and cook,

and is willing to eat what he makes even if it doesn't really turn out. 

He didn't have any baptisms this week, but does have more lined up for this Sunday,

including an adult brother! He is the first adult male that has committed to baptism

since Caleb has been out, so Caleb's pretty excited about that!

He has mentioned how he doesn't always like the end of the month because that's when

people get payed and the first thing they do is go and buy alcohol so they can get drunk.

This is the first time since he's been there when payday fell on a weekend,

so he said it was even worse! It's hard to teach in those circumstances.

They do get approached a lot by drunks, but fortunately they are friendly.

So, here's Caleb's email from this week along with some pictures and video: 

Hello Everyone! I hope you had an amazing Halloween! As for me i spent my Friday evening teaching other elders how to make Peanut Butter Bars, and attempting to make no bake cookies without a recipe🤣 all in all it was a great time.


This week i also got my master scriptorian! For those that don't know, in the South Africa Durban Mission, we have whats called the Master Scriptorian, which is an award given to missionaries that are able to learn 174 verses from scriptures that align with what we teach every day + some scriptures that our mission leaders love. To earn it, a Zone Leader asks us 30 questions about any scripture within the 174 verses. Its intense, and it took me some time to learn all the scriptures but I'm proud of my accomplishment! And President Laguna says the next step is to memorize all the standard works🤪 maybe someday I'll be able to do it.

That's all for this week.
Love you all,
Elder Roskelley
