Week 16-Imbali/Hhlangano

Hello friends,
So, turns out, doing nightly write-ups/journaling is actually a little important, especially if you're doing transfers and no longer have access to your old planner :). So, this week will mostly be highlights and next week will be the real deal.
Monday: During P-Day for our MIssionary work we went to go help Brother Mzo with his garden again and found a super cool Chameleon, took some pictures with it, and it turns out Africans do not like reptiles all that much, so we had it crawl on Elder Dlamini.
Wednesday- Final DC with PMB, even bore our testimonies in the Chapel for funsies. I'm gonna miss PMB, and the Elders there. They have been super essential in helping me grow and I can't wait to learn more from the new friends I'll make in Eswantini.
Friday- Final day of pros in Imbali, we were supposed to do a driving test for Elder Dlamini, but Elder Lindberg had to reschedule. We met with some Imbali friends one last time, cleaned out the font for a baptism on Sunday, and went out for some late night (8:00) Mickey-D's with the District. A nice way to end a nice transfer.
Saturday: Driving 🛻 🛻 🛻. I get to drive a Bakki (truck) now, which, as a previous driver of little cars, I'm not super used to. I think I drove for a total of 8 hours today and was completely tuckered out from the exercise. Luckily I won't have to make the same trip again for a while.
Sunday: Well, not much to report from today for my first day in Swaziland, I was sick all day. I went to Sacrament meeting, passed out in the Bakki for 2 hours, spend 2 hours driving to the middle of nowhere to tow a car back to the chapel, and then, slept the rest of the day. Hopefully tomorrow was better.
(Tomorrow was better)
That's all for this week, hopefully this upcoming week is a little more exciting.

    Yes , writing everything down is so important because it doesn't take long for the small details to get blurred. Love the pictures with the chameleon I've had one before so it's so cool to be able to find one in the wild like that. Keep the Faith

Week 19-Nhlangano

Monday: New week, new Bakkie. In the three weeks I’ve been here I’ve driven three different Bakkies, but this one is actually ours so I should be keeping it for a while. But when we got it, it had just gone to a game reserve with the ZL’s and because of that was super muddy (Will attach picture for reference). We also went back to the Market today and I was able to buy a nativity set, which is super cool.  Tuesday: We went to go to a lesson and saw that there was a weird dent in the back passenger side of the Bakkie. Come to find out, that while the ZL’s were at the Game reserve, a Rhino charged the Bakkie and dented the side. So while the car was getting washed, I had the pleasure of filling out an accident report on a rhino hitting our car, which doesn’t happen too often. Other than that, nothing super interesting happened. Due to it being Christmas  next Monday , we were unable to meet with many people because they left town, and tracting isn’t super effective. So be ready for a sup

Week 12-Imbali

Howsit folks, I hope everyone's doing well. I just realized that this is 3 months out, holy cow time flies by! Let's get right into it Monday: We couldn't go out to teach in the morning because our car was busted. But for lunch, I attempted to eat a McDonalds share bag. It consists of 1 Big Mac, 1 cheeseburger, 1 chicken burger, 1 spicy chicken burger, 2 regular and small fries, 2 regular and small drinks, and 10 nuggets, all for about 230 rand (12ish bucks). It was, what we in the business call, a mistake. I was able to eat everything but one small fry and a Big Mac. I was also dying. We also went to play golf, which I am moderately better at, and even got to play mini golf, though the course we played on wasn't very big. Tuesday: Had a really good appointment in the morning with Mandisa, who we think is really interested in our message. We also met with a less active member, tried to help him feel God's love for him even though he drifted away from the covenant pa
