Week 35 - Queens

 



Monday: Had a super exciting day cleaning the boarding from 9 in the morning to 8 at night… nothing much more exciting then that, just lots and lots of cleaning :)

Tuesday: We did a little more cleaning, some finding, and visited 2 friends, Nathan and Abigail. We’ve been meeting with Nathan for a while, a 7th Day Adventist who believes in the Book of Mormon, and Abigail, who is a referral who we met for the first time today. She’s taking a theology class and her professor is having her read the Book of Mormon for her class. She had a lot of questions and was super cool.

Wednesday: District council with the APs today, and then we did a split with Elder Fiesta, one of the APs (Assistants to the President). Elder Fiesta is super cool and upbeat, and we got to use the APs' Bakkie today, which was nice. He taught us some about setting multiple goals while finding to make it more fun.

Thursday: We went and visited Nickey Nik-Naks, and then we helped set up some for Sister Millicent's significant other's funeral.

Friday: We did ourselves some finding, visited Sianne, and then visited Brotha Dave, and talked to his grandson about baptism, Brotha Dave also fed us burgers ðŸ˜„              

Saturday: Went to a funeral. I talked about Heavenly Father's Plan of Salvation, and how it was made to bring all of his children back tk him. I also ate some of the hottest curry of all time. Then we went to see Sister Betty, one of our less active members who is coming back to church, and talked about temples. In doing so, Elder Lowe upset Mama by taking her the wrong way back home. Then we went and saw Chester, our recently baptized friend, and talked to him about the temple as well.

Sunday: We had our fast and testimony meeting and I taught the Elders Quorum lesson on Elder Bednar's talk from October 2023, In the Path of Their Duty, and talked about magnifying our callings as members, even if we don't get recognition for it. After that we went and saw Brotha Dave again to teach Num Num, his nephews girlfriend.

I hope everyone is doing well! I'll talk again next week, I love all of you and implore you to keep pressing forward in the Gospel ðŸ˜‡

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
