This email is pathetic. i was just drawing the next level blank.

May 20, 2019 - Mission week 98: New place place

So this was a good week, 

Managed to meet, and become Ultra Homeys, with a Indian member named Niven who just moved in. He's way cool. works as a vet, wants to be more active then he used to be. Really cool guy. 

most of the rest of the week was spent meeting with members. 

Had zone conference, mostly talking about dilligence and having the faith to push through problems. 

Had a way cool experience though

a recent convert named Tenny lost her job and got way sick right after we baptized her, and so she was stuck between paying rent, and paying the hospital bills, and didn't know what to do, since both had to be payed, so she prayed for help, then appearently we called, gave her the june liahona, (which we 'happened' to get early) and looked at the article, fear not i am with thee  by Elder Bednar, which she said was a sign from God, we got her hooked up with the bishop, who helped her make her choice, then the next day, her job retuned and she made enough money to pay the other bill on time. Moral of the Story, Act in faith, random thoughts usualy are the spirit, and just try your best

Thats all I really have to talk about today. Most everything else i just whatever. 

Hope you all have a good week, saturday Is my last transfer news haha. 

kthanksbye

May 13, 2019 - Mission week 97: I still drove around to much

So yeah, more errands for the mission pres, spent Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, going back and forth to Pretoria East, so This email won't be the most...... full. 

But Tuesday, I was on exchanges with Elder Asay, we served around each other when he was in my District in Witbank, so we had a good old time. Everyone pretty much canceled, so we did a bit of finding, but he wasn't feeling to well, so we didn't do a lot. Stupid Flu. 

Wednesday, Was pretty normal, did our best to see who we could, but more of our area being difficult, we only really got to see Sis. Izabel, the familiy history Senior sis. Missionary, who taught us about Family History as always. Then we went and saw the extremely energetic Dhlamini family, had a nice talk about how the gospel is going to perfect us. 

Thursday night, after all the driving stuff we made waffles with the Manzini family. which was nice. No such thing as maple syrup here for them though. 

Friday, we saw the Lubumba family We discussed Alma 26:21-22 and the spirit. I recommend pondering over those verses a bit, they are very nice.

Saturday. Again, driving then the Olisa family, and more meat then i could handle. We discussed those same things about the spirit, and talked about some stuff from ministering and come follow me as well 

But yeah

 

Skyping home for mothers day was nice. 

We went to the Chameleon Village for probably the last time in my life. it was fun, but that place can be tiring. Especially when you only want like 1 thing

But things are good

Zone Conference later in the week

then 1 week of the transfer.

then my last transfer news.

then you know the rest

kthanksbye

Memories of Grandma - May 10, 2019

Upon hearing of the death of his Grandma Walker, Jack sent this memory to be read with the other "Memories of Grandma" at her funeral, held on Friday, May 10, 2019:

Well a good memory i have with Grandma is Sager and I playing skipbo and other games, and her always saying that sager learned how to cheat from Calvin and me laughing since I was cheating just as hard to keep up, but she didn't catch me! Also just the fun of the whales and the sleepovers and yatzee and all the games. It was just always fun to go to Grandma and Grandpa Walkers. 

May 6, 2019 - Mission Week 96: A week of weeks

So this week, was odd

Monday and Tuesday were taken up by a trip to Botswana for MLC where i ate crocodile at african rodizio grill. It was a fun drive, we talked about how to look after peoples spiritual welfare.

Wednesday, we got some new people to teach, from zimbabwe, they work at the hair salon that Freddy works at and one of them knows the church at least a little, they didn't come to church though, but they probably had to work. 

Thrusday, i was with my "grandson" / District Leader Elder Deem, we had a good time, it was good to finally really get to know him. Had a halfway decent day, got a lot of names

Friday, i was Biking around Mabopane, seeing old faces, interviewing some people for baptism, BIKE all day, it was nice

Saturday, we helped someone move, and tried desparatly to find people to teach

Sunday was just a nice fast sunday, had interviews with the mission president, maybe my last normal interview, and got stuck in accident traffic

Today, I golfed a bit, did only a bit bad.

but things are good here in South Africa, I am very much enjoying misison

I have been focusing more on Come Follow Me, i havn't been the greatest at doing it, so I am playing Catch up, and it is soooo good. If you want to better understand the gospel do Come Follow Me. The Church is true, they know what they are doing, listen to the prophet.

kthanksbye.

haha

but yeah, i'm just happy to be doing what i'm doing. Missionary work is very rewarding, especially when you get to really see the fruit of your labor, While I was back in Mabopane, I visited Beauty and Kaletso, the first converts I taught, and they have  been to the temple, are super active and have brought many others to the truth and it was pretty much the greatest thing ever. 

so yeah

lift up your voice

be happy

kthanksbyeforreal
