Week 33 - Queens

 



Monday: Just a chill P-Day. We went to Berea to get my bag, and chilled at the chapel the rest of the day

Tuesday: Exchange with the incredible Elder Traver again! We taught some lessons, lost some keys, and did some finding. Another incredible exchange if I do say so myself

Wednesday: District Council in Chatsworth today, which meant we got Tommy's sushi for lunch again. After that we did some door knocking, and then we went to Pick N Pay (Imagine Walmart) and just talked to some people in there. It was super fun, we got to find odd places to put invitations for people to find, and we met a cool lady named Sasha, we're going to visit her church on Thursday and she's going to come to ours on Sunday.

Thursday: We Did some finding in Checkers in the morning, and then we went finding. Sadly, our finding was cut short due to me having a little accident… we were going down a hill and I was going quite speedily, and my front tire slipped in some dirt while I was turning and I did a little bitty flip off. Banged up my knee and tore up my pants. Miracle moment though, I slammed my head into the curb but I was wearing a helmet so no damage to the brain 👍🏼 After that we went to Sashes church, which was nice. Their drummer was pretty cool as well.

Friday: Did Weekly Planning, we didn’t visit Sianne again, but we went finding near where we went to church yesterday, and met 2 super cool people in a row, and we were able to share an Easter message with them. We also did call-ins and I made pasta for the District which was epic because it was San Carlitos last day in the District.        

Saturday: We went finding again, and found a super awesome lady named Jennifer, who we shared an Easter message with and invited to church, and she seemed super excited to come. While we were finding, we also found R200 on the ground. We couldn't figure out whose it was and we wanted it to go towards something Jesus would do, so we were just going to donate it to humanitarian aid, but we went to Checkers to get Mama an Easter present, and we saw a little girl who wanted an easter egg, but her parents couldn't get it. So we were able to buy this little girl some chocolate for Easter. 

Sunday: Epic Easter Sunday today! We had 10 people come to church, and a lot of our less active members came as well. After that we visited 2 of our members and thats about it because we were asked not to proselyte today due to the holidays. But it was an awesome Sabbath, and proof that miracles are everywhere to be found, when Priesthood callings are magnified.

Happy Easter everyone!app.goo.everyone has taken this opportunity to think about the atonement of Jesus Christ and his sacrifice for us. I hope everyone has a great week preparing for general conference!

(Also still gonna leave my google photos in case anyone wants to join)

MTC Week 2

 Awesome first week in Provo for real MTC (Missionary Training Center)! I can't explain how strong the spirit is here. just the constant exposure to peace is so refreshing. The food here is ok, the chocolate milk is actually pretty good, but the cookies and cream milk is where it's at. I also got news that I'd be starting out my mission in the Idaho, Pocatello mission after my time in the MTC until my visa comes in. I'll admit that I was disappointed at first, but now I'm ready to do the Lord's work no matter where that may be, in South Africa or Idaho. It's nice to be able to go to the Provo Temple so much and feel close to the lord as I do work for the other side of the veil. I can't wait to be able to do more as the week goes on and on my mission in general. The biggest takeaway that I've had this week is that the lord sends you to where you need to be. He works through you and your skills to allow the spirit to do the real conversion, all I need

Week 5- Africa

Sawubona! It's been a great first week in South Africa. Imbali is huge! I was driving a couple days ago, and accidentally ended up on the wrong side of the road, the car I came face to face with pulled up next to me and asked "What country are you from?" When I said America, they said "I KNEW IT" and drove away. 😂 Talking to people is hard here. They all speak Zulu and I don't know Zulu, but I'm slowly picking up some things, like greetings and saying goodbye. Since everyone here has houses fenced off, we have a way of knocking with our voices that Elder Magot has helped me figure out. I even have a Zulu name to help me relate to the people here more. The name is Nkosinathi, meaning "The Lord is with us". I'm hoping that as I reside here I'll be able to understand people better.  We had a baptism on Sunday! Her name is Natasha (she gave me my Zulu name) and she's pretty cool, she had a cool experience when she was reading the book

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
