First Transfer Done, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME - September 4, 2017

So my first 6 weeks are done already. so thats a thing. Its all good down here still. Good times in Mabopane. I am gonna do a sort of video tour thing today that ill send next week, give you guys a taste of the reality of living in South Africa. its gonna be good. 

So Monday, nothing really happened, except the power going out. but it wasn't out for that long so it wasn't bad. I started wearing my dress sandals, since its heating up. happy Spring

Tuesday, we went and met a less active named Sabastian Narube, who hates the bishop but knows the church is true, so hes been difficult. Less Actives are a huge problem here, lots of people just stop coming for no reason. at his house we ate something nice, Its called mohodu, its not bad, but not good, sorry i didnt get a picture, becasue mohodu, is cow intestine. so yeah. i ate that

Wednesday, was normal, taught people, found some more less actives, and watched the movie Joseph Smith, Prophet of the Restoration with an investigator who is gonna be baptized later this month, her name is Amogalang, shes 15, very kind. her brother refered us to her and helps us teach her, his name is Musa. 

Thrusday, we saw the worlds slowest sideswipe happen at a 4 way, that i wish i had video of.We saw like 15 cops pour out of a van, arrest a guy at a rode side hair cut shack, and then the cops climbed up on top of the shack, and proceded to toss bag, after bag, after bag of cocaine off the roof, im sure that was worth a ton of money, it was pretty cool to watch. Later that day, I taught the 3rd lesson to some of our investigators. then we went and got all you can eat pizza for 6 dollars at a place called panerattis in the Wonderpark mall by our flats. Malls are crazy here, 

Friday was my First zone conference, it was pretty spiritual, learned a lot about our purpose as missionaries. Got some socks from the mission president as a birthday present. went to the massive Menlyn mall in Pretoria, its massive, like 6 stories and several blocks big. look it up its nuts. got kfc in it. 

Saturday was a lot of meeting and cleaning, the church, our flat. so not alot to talk bout there

Sunday, was a very cool day. We had several appointments cancel, so we went around just trying to find someone, we went down our whole list. many times we just went, lets go check this guy, and they wouldn't be home, but as we left we'd see someone walking down  the street we haven't seen in months, or someone would shout 'ELDERS' and come talk to us about how they met with the elders long ago, and wanted to meet them again, we were so guided unintentionally. We made big breakthroughs with 2 of our most difficult less actives. It was just a very, very powerful day. 

So that was this week. lots happened, some people in the zone are being transferred, so ill get to meet some new Elders. 

Get excited for the video tour, the real Africa experiance, brought to you in full Standard Definition, by a guy who has no skill when it comes to taking pictures a video. Its gonna be a blockbuster event to remember. 

So untill then
bye
