Week 55 - Molweni

 



Hello Friends, no email last week, but here's the important. Out of the kindness and charity of our hearts, we loaned our car to Imbali for a few days and worked on bikes from Thursday to Sunday. If it were not the christlike thing to do I would say, big mistake. Thing I learned week before last, the place we work in is part of the thousand hills, and it is called that for a reason. Anywho, on to this week

Monday: The plan was to drive to PMB early and get the car back, but that did not happen, so we'll be getting it on Wednesday 🚴‍♀️😐. But it was a pretty good P-Day. The Hillcrest bishop took us and the Zone Leaders to Durban, got to see the beach (Didn't go on it though because I'm an obedient Missionary 💪🏼) as well as a surf shop, got a sticker for my car back home. Then we played some rugby.

Tuesday: Bikes. But other than that it was fine. We reviewed the baptismal questions with our friends who are getting baptized this next Sunday, since they're getting interviewed tomorrow. We also found a bunch of people and I tried chicken feet for the first time (actually wasn't that bad).

Wednesday: Drove down to PMB in the morning to get our car back. I meant to say this last week, but it was nice to go back to my baby area. When we went last Thursday I got to see one of the members, Ngcebo (a G of course) and it was awesome to be back there. After that I did an exchange with Elder Broadbent, a missionary in my district, so Elder King could go do the interviews, and that was pretty fun, Elder Broadbent is a great missionary.

Thursday: DC was good. It was also our first Thursday in 3 weeks that wasn't a complete shaft, which was also nice. Had some good teachings. Also I found out everyone passed their interviews, which was hype.

Friday: Lessons, meetings, ect. nothing to write home about (Literally)

Saturday: Same old same old, but one of our members, Mama Dolly, had a birthday, and she gave us cake which was nice.

Sunday: First Sunday with the new Branch President from Hillcrest, and he is pretty cool. It seems like he's going to bring positive change into the Molweni area. We also got to have dinner with the O'Moore's one last time, since they're moving. They've been super kind and hospitable to us and it was a pleasure to get to know them.

That’s all from the week, we shall see how I do next week 🫠. Love you all!
 
P.S. If this is your first time getting an email don't even worry about it, it's probably due to an obscure comment made in the last 24 hours

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

Week 14-Imbali

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
