My brother, Paul, went on his mission to Johannesburg South Africa.
When his mission was over in August of 2008, my parents, my sisters and I went to South Africa to pick him up.
It was an amazing experience.
We went around and talked to some of the church members and converts my brother taught and was close with.
It was a very humbling experience to see how happy they all were when they lived in dirt floor huts and had nothing, and I was never content and happy with all of the many objects I had in my life.
One women I remember specifically was in labor and she gave up her chair to my father because he was a guest in her home.
The humility and love that everyone had was beautiful and unforgettable.
On our way to Africa we spent a day in London and so I included a couple of photos of us there.
Please enjoy London and Africa:
