Week 40 - Queens

 



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 study with some Seventh-Day Adventists. It was pretty interesting, we talked about the mark of the beast.

Friday: We had Correlation in the morning, which was epic, probably the best correlation I’ve had here, and then we made a lot of phone calls to set up appointments and taught a few lessons as well.

Saturday: Same old same old. Finding, teaching, getting bunked. Nothing too interesting

Sunday: Today was a pretty decent day, there's a flu going around, so our Sacrament attendance wasn't super high, but we were able to visit one of our older members and bring them the sacrament, and then proceeded to be fed 3 times in a row, which is incredible but very filling

Thank you all for your patience, love you all, talk next week! ✌🏼

Week 29 - Queensburgh

Monday: P-Day today, we also had Zone Council, talking about Sacrament attendance and Member Present Lessons (hey, if you get the chance, go out with the missionaries. It makes their life a lot easier.) After that, the zone played sportsball with the APs :| Also, our car had to go in for body repairs, so we borrowed Chatsworth’s car, a toyota quest, for the time being. Tuesday: We had breakfast at a members house, which was… ok. We also met with one our member families, the Van Heerdans, who are awesome, and did a lot of finding. We’re trying out a new finding approach of just asking people if they want to come to church. If not, we were on our way. We met one family, a husband and wife (with a loud dog). They said they’d be super interested in coming to church, which was super cool! Wednesday: We had DC late today due to a District Leader meeting Elder Lowe had, but before that we had to take the Corolla to the service shop. Turns out, the breaks on it are actually horrendous. So we d...

Week 47 - Quěens (Evil E)

Monday: Surprisingly busy P-Day. We had correlation council, then we had to walk one of the kids in our ward back to his house. We afterwards passed out, went shopping, and then went to the chapel.   Tuesday: We visited one of our new-members, Sister Zethu, and taught her about prayer. After that, our day was pretty empty. We did some finding, and worked on our lesson for our gospel principles class. Wednesday: District Council has actually been moved to Thursdays so that the ZLs can come every other week, so we had a meeting with our EQP about helping him with his Elders Quorum activity. After lunch we took ze train to Northdene, got bunked, and as we were talking to him we saw the train head back towards Malvern, which meant the train wouldn't be back for a couple hours. We did some finding and got some snacks at the Checkers for the ride back, only to not eat them because the train station was actually pretty sketch, and it was dark out so we didn't want to make it look lik...

  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. We went over to Victoria Street, which is basically a big market to buy South African things, and, you guessed it, sportsball!!!!! 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.
