Week 36 - Queens


 

Monday: We did our weekly planning because we do weekly planning on Mondays now, and then we did Zone P-Day, which of course was sportsball. 

Tuesday: We did some finding, got some bike supplies from Elder Lindberg, and then we played therapist for one of our new members.

Wednesday: We actually did DC in the afternoon today because Elder Pereira had to go to a doctors appointment this morning. So we did some finding this morning, did DC in the afternoon, then Elder Pereira barbered up mine and Elder Lowes hair. 

Thursday: Zone Conference day today! We had some wonderful trainings from the Zone Leaders, APs, and President and Sister De Kock today. We learned about our area documentation, being a better missionary, and being a better teacher. After that we went to see Sister Praise and I started my exchange with Elder Pereira.

Friday: Exchange with Elder Pereira! He's an older missionary, 14ish, and he's from Pretoria. He's an awesome missionary and super positive. I got to drive the Venue while I was in Chats and we went and had the Best Bunny in Durban again, only this time we got it for free because some guy paid for us, which was super cool.            

Saturday: We did some finding, got chased by some Doggos, and biked a decent amount to go do some finding with one of the youth in our ward, Alex. After that we went and visited one of our older members, Sister Maria, who made us rice and gravy, which was epic.

Sunday: Just another Sunday, went to church, did some finding, and called some people and did paperwork. Nothing super fun, but necessary to keep an area organized and to track our progress.

Better late than never I suppose, but I'll see you all next week!

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
