Ty's Mission to Durban, South Africa

'Ello everyone, I hope you are doing fantastically! Monday: 'Twas my first P-Day in Queensburgh, there's not as much cultural stuff to do as there was in Eswatini, so we did our proselyting, shopped, and spent our time at the temple. We shopped very poorly though. Me and Elder Lowe were used to getting our groceries separately, but we all bought the same things, so now we have 60 eggs, 4 loaves of bread, 5 things of peanut butter, and a bunch of other things. We will be shopping together from now on… Tuesday: We did finding in the morning (white people can be rude kinda sorta, and met some pretty cool people. There’s a guy named Dion, and we were going into the lesson thinking he was trying to attack our beliefs, because he kinda did that last time, and he started off seeming like he was going to go into it, but it turned out that he had actually prayed about the Book of Mormon and discovered it’s truth as well as the truth of the church! It was an incredible miracle that G

  Hello (or hallo if you will), onto area number three friends, but first we need to finish off Nhlangano, so let’s get to it, friends. Monday: Last P-Day in Nhlangano. We had Zone council, went to Spur to eat, and then I went to get Swazi souvenirs. Very exciting last day. Tuesday: Not much happened, had lessons, said goodbyes to some of our peoples, and got to try a nice bread that was made withe Maize. It was delicious. Wednesday: What if I told you we spent another whole day stuck outside our area… We had DC and District Lunch, but after that we got a call from the ZLs that we needed to wait for the Sidwashini Elders Bakkie to get repaired so we could trade with them (our bakkie has a lot of problems and Sidwashini happens to be closer to the Ford dealership then we are. After that we went back and we met one more time with the Gwebus. Thursday: Same story as Tuesday, but I also got lunch for the branch president, first councilor, and clerk to say goodbye. Friday: Driving… yay… we

Hello Friends. Ieesh, believe it or not, orchestrating 6 baptisms in one week is pretty tough. Worth it, but tricky to manage, especially when your companion is the district leader and there are 21 other baptisms happening in the same zone on the same day. So let's get into it Monday: No Zone P-Day this week, so nothing exciting. Except that at lunch we saw a black mamba and a man catching it in slides, it was pretty exciting (We were in the news). After that we had dinner with a friend from Ngwane Park, but had to leave early due to bad storm, and ieesh, it was bad. We had to spend the night at Fairviews boarding instead of driving home. Tuesday: Drove home in the morning, with Elder Ramanlal on an exchange! Elder Ramanlal is an incredible missionary who is super good at talking with people, I learned a lot from him. We also fetched water and carried a bucket on our heads. Wednesday: We spent the whole day in Manzini, had 0 lessons  . As the DL, Elder Maaboi had to do the baptisma

Monday: We went to take our Bakkie in for a second round of repairs, and it still has to go in for a third (not my fault though). After that we went to Zone Council, and we were going to go to a Game Reserve and hike to the top of a cool rock (some may call it a mountain) but it cost 85 rand per person and we were meant broke due to the pay period. We'll get paid tomorrow, but for today we went to a glass factory, which was super cool. I even got a glass duck. Tuesday: Pretty uninteresting day, but we did count up our baptismal clothing for the baptisms we're having next week, just to make sure everything was shap Wednesday: Drove on down to Manzini for DC, ran into Elder and Sister Lindberg from durban on the way back (figuratively). Very little else though, we did do some tracting but that's about it. Thursday: Haha… a lot more tracting today, 5 hours of it to be specific. Didn't have many lessons sadly, but we met with one of our members and he agreed to come help wi
