Oops, I missed another week, again

 Caleb had a fun activity with his zone last week! I think he really enjoyed it.

A few baptisms, and a couple that were scheduled that will probably not happen,

but the work still moves on. 

He seems to really enjoy living in his boarding with his companion and 2 other elders.

They all seem to get a long really well.

Caleb is doing great and seems to be learning a lot! Grateful for his growth,

but more grateful for his willingness to serve his Heavenly Father and His children!

Here's his latest email and some fun pictures: 

Hello Everyone! I hope you guys are doing so awesome! I'm doing pretty swell!

I have no idea what i said last time so if some of this is a repeat I apologize in advance 

First and foremost, I got my greenie!!! He is from the Philippines his name is Elder Sulibran. His English is pretty good which i'm so grateful for Hes a powerful Elder and I'm so glad I get the chance to help train him! Although everyone here thinks hes Chinese and lets just say people don't keep it in their head

2nd I got to play with baby lions!! They were real cute we had to drive 2 hours to see them tho and 2 hours back which was a lot of driving. But it only cost the equivalent of $4 which is pretty crazy  

3rd, I'm sure many of you are familiar with the whistle where you like use your hands and its super loud, if not ask my dad to show you a while ago I learned how to do that, but here in South Africa many people are able to do a super loud whistle without using there hands, it perplexed me for so long, and still doesn't make sense to me, but I learned how to do it! It took me like 6 weeks but now I've got it on lock  

4th, with Elder Sulibran joining us, I now live with with 3 other missionaries. Now this is pretty awesome and its certainly a party because they all have very excited personalities so in our apartment at night there are a lot of shenanigans that go down Elder Randi loves to "preach" like how a gospel pastor does which has led to doors being broken, wrestling matches to be held, and basketball games to be played.

5th, My trainer left He wasn't originally called to this mission and after a year of serving in the Durban mission he got his visa to serve in Kenya! 

On a more spiritual note, this week with many of our friends and new members we focused on the importance of family history! Many people here are first generation members of the Church so they have no idea how to get started with family history and such. It made me realize how blessed I am to have basically been born into have a family tree thats fully fleshed out for generations on generations with parents and leaders that can help me with any question I have about it.

I think thats about everything! 

Love you all,

Elder Roskelley

 

                 Yes, this basically is a bar! Apparently the only building near the lion refuge.

                       Bath room break before heading home? Not sure why they're there! 

 

 

Stopping by to watch some soccer on their way home from petting the lions. 

 

My mother's maiden name is Gailey so he thought this was cool! (Street name).

 

Going out for lunch and a picture of clouds that Caleb thought were "dope."

 

Caleb had the opportunity to baptize 2 of 3 young ladies baptized last week.
