Week 56 - Molweni

 



Monday: We went on a hike in Howick today (it's like the drive to PMB, but double) up a mountain, which was a nice view but definitely a struggle to climb up. We also went to a wholesale store (think Costco but not as nice) as well as South African Walmart, which was hype. Other than that nothing much, driving took up most of the day.

Tuesday: Taught lessons, didn't have time to do any finding today, but we did have some light correlation with our new Branch President, which was nice.

Wednesday: You know how we have to have one day a week where we get no missionary work done, so that was today. We took our vehicle to Pinetown to get serviced, and we were told it was only gonna take a few hours. So we thought shap, we'll just go to Pinetown's DC and then we can head back over to Molweni. But I say unto you nay. The car got done around 4:00 (we got there at 7) so other than the few lessons we had in the evening, we basically got shafted.

Thursday: Had DC for Hillcrest, went around making sure everyone's baptismal suits fit, and we went to a J-Dub service in the evening. Other than not understanding what anyone was saying (it was in Zulu) it was actually really nice. All the men were in white shirts and ties and everything. Wasn't able to get a New World Translation from them though 😔

Friday: Had some lessons and the APs met with us to give us a bigger baptismal suit.  

Saturday: Nothing incredibly interesting, but we did get news of who's being transferred (not transfer news mind you, that comes later) and I will be staying, but Elder Narag will be leaving.

Sunday: Had church, our BP to do a combined meeting with the branch instead of second hour classes, and then we had our baptisms 🥳🥳. It was very nice, they were all very happy to have made this covenant with God. After that, we had lunch with the RSP and 2 of the people who got baptized, and put someone else on date for next week 😎.

Thanks for reading everyone, hope you all have a wonderful week!

Week 12-Imbali

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
