The End of the World as we Know it. - October 9, 2017

It has rained so much and the lightning and stuff has been awesome, but  the African people are calling it the apocalypse which has been funny.  They have some crazy superstitions about lightning. you cant wear red, you cant have your phone on, or anything electric, if you are warm thats bad, you need to sit in cold bath, since its attracted to heat. so we havn't been able to see as many people since they are hunkered down

But Monday, both Elder Hamilton and Elder Fitzgerald got ht with crazy food poisoning from we thing the refresments at general conference, since half the ward got it too, i didnt have any luckily, but we were in the flat all day, and i watched the 3 hour video version of the illustrated old testiment which was neat. but they were dead men, the sickest they've both gotten on mission apparently. 

Tuesday we took it easy, since Elder Fitz was still recovering, mostly just saw members. We Went to Brother Jayson, the guy who is the best, and cheered him up since he just got his wisdom teeth out by a terrible dentist, the guy cut the nerve in half accidentally, so he was dying. played cards with him and discussed referals. it was an african card game named shooga. hard to explain i might make a video of it. 

Wednesday was a wild ride. WE got invited to "preach" at a rehab center, so we went there and it was a big half fallen over tin barn, where the residents sleep on the floor and are allowed to smoke as they please. according to the government worker in charge, its completely illegal for them to do, but no one cares. so that was fun. Later we watched the Restoration movie with an entire family of investigators, and the loved it. so thta was good. We went to KFC since on Wednesdays you can get 5 pieces of original recipe, 5 hot wings, and 2 large fries for R100, so like $7.  

Thursday. we did litterally nothing, since all our apointments cancelled, and it was pouring so no one was out walking or answering doors. so we went and talked about referals with various members and got dinner with the ward mission leader. 

Friday, we had an iron chef at district meeting we won with jalapeno popper casserole, mixed with funeral potatoes. it was way good, everyone elses food was good too. we played chair soccer for like an hour and then ultimate frisbee. Then we taught some kids who are friends of a member and had dinner with Sis. Gaygey, who makes way good pap and chicken.

Satueday, we watched the restration video with a members family who is not members. did district tranfer predictions, everyone thinks im gonna be moved to botswana. Then we went back to the flats to do call ins and ate McDonalds. 

Sunday was good. got to watch the sunday afternoon session. it was awesome. Loved Elder Anderson and Elder Callister. After that we had some food with members, Sister Masimine and Sister Nao, and then went back to the flats and made brownies. 

Things went very well, we had 5 of our 5 progressing investigators come to church, Amogalang is being baptized next week, and Segkoma the week after that, then Masego and Oodi, and then Phime. if all goes according to plan. Life is good in Mabopane, transfers come in on saturday, so we'll see where the lord puts me for the next 6 weeks. 

Love hearing from you guys as always, please send as much as you can. 

Kthanksbye
