GREG ON THE TENTH AND HAYDEN ON THE 15TH,,, HAPPY BDAY TWO MY TWO BROTHERS!!! I LOVE YOU GUYS! HOPE YOUR BIRTHDAYS ARE THE BEST!!!!

So this week is gonna be really short,,,, not because I'm being lazy, just because we literally didn't get to do ANY work. 

Tuesday we had scheduled to have our apartment fixed up. New light fixtures, new pump, easy stuff.

those easy things turned quickly into underground pipe leak fixing, new hot water heater in our house, masonry work in our bathroom, a whole new electricity system for our whole house, and two VERY VERY bored missionaries. We couldn't leave our house, because we had Angolan workers going in and out all day Monday through Friday,,, so basically, we didn't get to work accept for two hours every night. it was a nice break, but also very frustrating and made for a fidgety Elder Montgomery. there was lots of church movies watched, a few over expensive lunches, surgeries, (not sure what that means) and lots of studying and little power napos between. overall, it was an awesome week, that ended with today the coolest pday of my mission so far!!!! 

We got to go to a Safari, and saw giraffes, wildebeest, monkeys, and some cool gazelle things. I was hoping for a elephant but its ok!!!

Then we got to go to the beach and hangout with President and Sister Merrill. it was all so fun. 

The highlight of my day was the giraffe. I was like a little kid in disneyland. Giraffes are awesome, and they didn't run away too so we got within about 20 yards of them to take pictures. it was so amazing. 

That was basically our week. sorry this is super short, but next week will be long, because me and Elder Tingey have a baptism on Saturday, and transfer's too!

I love you all and I know this gospel is true!. Africa is amazing. and the people are even better. have good weeks!! Happy bday Greg and Hayden! love you all!

com muito amor,

Elder Colin Jay Montgomery
