Week 40 - Queens

Image
  Monday: Twas the first P-Day with Elder Heslop, but we didn’t really do anything interesting. There’s not really much to do in Queens. Tuesday: We taught someone at Mugg and Bean (fancy coffee place) and they gave us a free muffin! After that we went to the chapel to print some stuff out for a member, and I forgot how to use front brakes, causing me to take another flip off my bike  . After that we had some lessons, and then we headed back to the boarding, because Elder Lindberg needed to drop something off. It turns out the think he was dropping off was a car  !!! One of the areas is closed for a couple weeks, so we get to have the car until it opens back up. It's a Toyota Urban Cruiser Wednesday: DC, lunch, then we did some finding and had some lessons with members to get Elder Heslop acquainted with everyone. Thursday: A somewhat busy Thursday, we went to some lessons, met with one of our YSA about getting the other YSA to come back to church, and went to a bible stu...

  Hello everyone, it's me again, ready for another 6 weeks in the best area in the mission, Queensburgh Monday: Our final Zone P-Day with Elders Lowe, Christiansen, Hall, Mofokeng, and Reverado.

After that we got to go home, go back to Mayville, and go home again. Tuesday: We started the Elder Lowe farewell tour, where we go and visit everyone Elder Lowe wants to take pictures with. Today we visited Sianne, and Brother Dave, and we also fed some monkeys Rusks (think really hard cookie in the shape of a rectangular prism) Wednesday: Final district council with Elder Lowe, then we met a member for lunch and visited the Misselhorns, Sister Olivia, and Sister Maria. We also got our transfer news! We found out that Elder Pereira will actually be going home for surgery, Elder Lowe will be going to Molweni, and my new companion will be Elder Heslop, ...

  Background: 12 Rand = $0.65 USD Monday: Elder Lowe and I took the car from Chats and went to the Mall to play with Legos. It's nice to do child things and let your brain rest. I also had a Cinnabon, which was delightful.  Tuesday: We did garden work for our friend Praise (not Sister Praise but a different Praise) and Elder Lowe pulled up a tree. After that we cleansed ourselves and visited some members to give a lesson to help strengthen their testimonies Wednesday: DC, lunch, had a few lessons in Hillary, and we started an exchange with the ZLs, me spending the day with Elder Cox in Queens. We had one more lesson after that, and ended our day. Thursday: Did exchange with Elder Cox, we went and worked with a lot of members, help them build their testimony. We're doing it with every member to try and help them grow more in the Gospel Friday: Biked a lot today, but its ok. We visited more members, and one of our less active members said she would come to church on Sunday for t...
