Week 48 - Queens




Monday: Twas P-Day, nothing done.

Tuesday: We did a lot of finding today in Mosely, which is the more affluent part of our area, and we actually had a bit of success. We had like 3 people in a row think that we were J-Dubs, but we also got a few numbers and even had a lesson or two.

Wednesday: Not super exciting but had a cool spirit-led moment. We didn't have a very busy morning, and Mamma needed some shopping done since she hurt her back, so we went to Checkers to grab her groceries, and on the way out of the flat I was like, I should get a fresh copy of the Book of Mormon, which I never bring to Checkers. So I grab one and we go grab the groceries, and on the way back we run into Sister Praise (the one and only) and she's like "Ah, Elders, this is my new friend" and starts telling her about what we do. She then notices my Book of Mormon and takes it from me, takes Elder Heslops pencil (which he also felt prompted to grab) and gives her the BoM with our number on it. It was awesome to see the Lord's hand at work.

Thursday: District Council, Capris, and then we had some lessons as well as going up to Mosely a second time for a BoM referral that we had gotten right after we did some finding there. Turns out, it was actually someone we had taught on Tuesday that went online and requested a copy of the Book of Mormon, so that was pretty cool. 

Friday: Today was a pretty good day, we had an incredible miracle today! We were in Moseley for the 3rd time this week walking to an appointment that we had when we hear from behind us "Elders! Elders!" We turn back to the house that the voice came from and found one of the people who had thought we were Jehovah's Witnesses. He had said that he'd already read a lot of books on religion and he was happy with the one he was in, but we gave him a restoration pamphlet anyway. Well, today he stops us, tells us he "Never knew about Joseph Smith" and asks us how much for a copy of the Book of Mormon. So we got him a copy of the Book of Mormon and went out for a nice burger king meal afterwards.

Saturday: See... we were going to be busy today, but then we got bunked by most of our lessons. We did have a couple lessons though, so it was alright.

Sunday: Sunday wasn't exactly anything special. A lowish amount of people but it wasn't bad. We did get absolutely roasted by a 15 year old girl though
"You invite people to church every day??"
"Yeah!"
"But there's never anyone coming."
"...Yeah ðŸ¥²"

That's all for this week, it was incredible to see the Lord's hand in providing all the miracles we saw this week, and a good reminder that "Miracles are everywhere to be found, when Priesthood callings are Magnified". Love all of you and make sure to keep invested in the work. ðŸ˜‡
P.S. We did not charge that guy for a copy of the Book of Mormon.
P.P.S. No media was recorded this week in video or photographic form, sorry Dad :(

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

Week 13-Imbali

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
