Week 35: still not in my area - March 5, 2018

So I continued on in Mamelodi with Elder Voyles, while Elder Mbir and Elder Ruben took control of Witbank, so at least someone would be there. We had a lot of fun, while we were getting our car washed, we stopped in a Pawn shop called Cash Converters, where I found a berely used, iPod nano, for R300, so like $20. So I called the AP's to see if we are allowed to have those, and we are, so I bought it, so thats nice, gonna be a lot easer than listening to music off a Flash Drive. The rest of the week was pretty normal, we had a huge zone activity, and went to this Huge Afrikaans (the white settlers) monument, and took the tour, learned a lot of South African history, then we went a played Dodgeball, and Rugby (which I am learning to love the touch version of.)   I really don't have a lot to talk about, and since we are emailing later, the place is crowded and the upload speed doesnt exisit, so sorry no pictures again, we'll see if I can get any, before we have to go, but otherwise, there will be a Whole lot of pictures, next time, many of the Monument/museum, from today. I go back to witbank tomorrow, since I can drive again, so that will be good.
on a more uplifting note,
I was thinking about stuff, and talking with E. Voyles, and he metioned something cool. 
We are told to be LIKE Jesus, not to BE Jesus. He set the Example, he is a not a template. We are all unique. Just think off math the Example Problem was usually different than the ones in the assignment, but it showed us how to handle the things in the other problems. Christ showed us what to do with the numbers, signs, and variables in our own lives. It's not us doing everything he did, exactly how he did it. You solve 3x5 differently than 7x+4=y.    so a little food for thought cool thing.

Mission week 34: not in my area - February 26, 2018

So monday we came down to see the Doc, and long story short, the medication I'm on means I can't drive, and my Comp has no license, and we had to go to the Doc like 4 times in a week, and we live an hour away from said doctor. So we have been doing basically long term exchanges with the zone leaders in their area, double teaming it. Me and Elder Voyles have been in the west side, and Elders Ruben and Mbir in the east. It's been way fun, but there has been no one in my area. Not much else really to say, that was the whole week.
Sunday was a nice stake conference.
Today, we played Rugby all morning, and I got an amazing sliding catch to score. Play of the Game. Then we all went and got some great ribs at a place called Square Time. Then we Jammed out in a music shop right next door, the first time I'd played drums since Home. Now we are emailing.
President will be calling later today, because of more tests in the future and the whole lack of driving thing complicating that. So I honestly have no idea when we are going back to witbank, one plan is to send Ruben and Mbir back there, and have me and Voyles stay together till we get a better handle on things. But it's all good. The Mission President knows what he's doing, and I'm finally getting Fixed. So whoohoo.
Sorry no pictures, I forgot my Camera at the zone leaders flat. So there will be A LOT of pictures next week I promise.
Lifes good, thanks for the Prayers. 
live well
