Week 37 - Queens




Monday: We got to go and play Pickleball, which was super fun. Other than that not much though. 

Tuesday: Did an exchange with Elder Traver this week, played therapist again, and went to go do interviews with President, but ended up not doing them because he had a meeting come up.

Wednesday: Did DC with the ZLs, had a training on integrity which was nice, after that we didn't get district lunch because Chats had a Chapel tour to do. After that we did some finding and found an awesome family with 2 kids. The mom is named Michelle, and she is not super religious but is willing to hear our message. After that we had Ward Council and that is about it. I also got to knock on an actual door which was pretty epic. They didn't answer, so we were walking away, and I heard this, like, knocking on the garage door, Naturally, I went to investigate, and got the little girl on the other side to go get her dad. His name was Dexter, he's also super cool.

Thursday: Got different bikes again today to get my busted up bike in for repairs, promptly proceeded to crash my bike. This lady wouldn't move out of the way, so I had to swerve into the road to avoid her, and in the process of getting back on the sidewalk, my bike hit the curb the wrong way and threw me into the grass. It wasn't as bad as last time though, I was able to go into a roll so it was shap. After that, we went and did interviews with President and Sister De Kock for reals this time. Pres very kindly told me to suck it up buttercup sent us on our way. We also went to distribution to get materials.

Friday: Did more finding, we met a lady named Praise that we’re going to meet with tomorrow, we're going to see if we can get Sister Praise (our RSP) to come with us due to the name similarity.          

Saturday: Busy day, we met with Praise and her 3 kids, which was awesome. The kids have a lot of questions and they’re coming to church next week. After that we had a few more lessons, some unnecessary biking, and met with Nathan, which was also cool.

Sunday: Epic Sunday, we had some friends to church and Successfully met half of our goals, totally surpassing our new people goal. Hopefully we can get things turned around with a fresh sense of positivity.

Hope everyone has a great, we'll talk again 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
