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 like we had snack money. But it's a good thing we didn't eat them because we had forgotten we had ward council, so they did not go to waste 😋

Thursday: Nothing in particular much, we did watch Joseph Smith: Prophet of the Restoration, with one of our friends, which was really nice. It's hard not to feel the spirit when you're learning about the restoration of the restored Gospel and the Prophet Joseph

Friday: We met with a friend to answer soke of her questions as well as an old Afrikaans couple and Erika and Ryan, the less active and her boyfriend. We also had our Gospel Principles class which had our largest in person attendance yet (I think it was due to the apple juice)!

Saturday: We tidied our flat for inspections, and went to see a Book of Mormon referral, which turned out to be a really cool family who is interested in learning more and doesn't have a church to attend. Afterwards I successfully visited all the malls in the area by going to southway mall, right at the edge of our area. Afterwards we saw Sister Olivia, then Brother Dave

Sunday: We had a really good Fast and Testimony Meeting. Sister Zethu bore her testimony which was incredibly powerful. It's been wonderful to be able to watch her conversion to the gospel and her testimony of the church and the Book of Mormon grow. We taught the Sunday School lesson (of course they got the missionaries to teach Alma 17-22) and helped Sister Praise make cookies after Church, which I don't recommend doing while fasting. Sister Praise has also asked that I acknowledge her as a ray of sunshine in the Queensburgh Ward to missionaries everywhere, a title which she 100% deserves. We also had a PMG devotional this evening where I had the pleasure of being referred to as Sister Rodrigue


Bye everyone! Have a wonderful week! ✌🏼

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

Hi guys... so I kinda forgot to keep track of the days as they were happening, so this email may be slightly lacking, but here goes Monday: Pretty boring P-Day, Elder Dlamini got his hair cut which took like two hours, then we shopped and played Rummikub (I won 😎) Tuesday: Nothing super interesting Wednesday: Zone Conference day!!! We had great trainings from our zone leaders, APs, and President and Sister De Cock. One really good think was the importance of member missionary moments. The benefit that comes from members helping out in missionary work, giving them a taste of the joy we spread, is not only helpful to the missionaries, but also the members and the person they're helping. I was also able to talk more with members of the Mission, which is always fun. Thursday: I decided to take Sister De Kocks advise and drink water throughout the day, it helped somewhat but it was still hot. Other than that nothing much happened. We tracted a less utilized area so no powerful lessons

Monday: It was Elder Kearls final P-Day, he dies next week 🥲. We started the day doing gardening work at Sister Msomi's, and then we went to lunch at Pana-Rottis, and Italian place here. We then did some shopping around the mall and played more Rummikub (I won again, undefeated 😎) Tuesday: We turned one bunk into 3 lessons, absolutely stacked our Friday (more on that Friday) and got bunked a lot in the afternoon. I definitely felt the spirit in the lessons we had today though. However it was raining, and it's possible I caught a cold. Wednesday: We had our District Council with the Zone Leaders today, and Elder Brown went on exchange with Elder Dlamini so he could do a baptismal interview for the Pietermaritzburg missionaries. Nothing super eventful today. We met with Princess, whose testimony is getting more powerful every time we meet with her. That's about it though, we're building up to Friday 😈 Thursday: Yo, today was boring, we didn't have that many lessons
