First stint to Jo'burg
>> 09 June 2009
I went to the Johannesburg Temple this weekend. It was lovely. We stayed in patron housing. The rooms were so awesome. The view from the site was just amazing. The grounds may be my favorite I've seen so far. To quote my friend Claire, "The church doesn't have to be classy, and it would still be true, but I am so glad its classy." We rode with 16 awesome members in tight quarters and I finally found some pizza to love. Oh Romans pizza was so great! I wanted to cry with joy. It was momentarily strange to be around other white people all the sudden. I just dont see or talk to many white people here in Bots.
On the way home from South Africa we were told we only have 30 legal days in the country (not 90). We tried to argue our way out of it, but in the end, we just looked like loud Americans. It wont be a big deal, just some letters and stuff, but annoying. Anyways. I'm really really really really happy here. If only the sun shone just a little longer everyday... dang winter!

dan is right
I'm glad you are happy too.
It sounds wonderful. I do not think that I knew exactly what the Johannesburg Temple looked like. I love the brick.
