Week 33: Zone Conference and whatnot - February 19, 2018

So the week went as follows:

Monday, we went up to Pretoria for zone activity, played soccer, and hakkie sack, and Stayed the night with Elder Voyles and Elder Ruben. In Mamelodi

Tuesday, Zone conference didn't start till 2, so we did some finding with 10 Elders in Mamelodi, which was funny, we all parked in one spot and just all went in different directions, and at the end gave like 40 names to Elder Fitzgerald and Elder Maziza, since it was there area. At zone Conference, we had Elder and Sister Palmer of the Area Presidency, and Elder and Sis. Soarres, of the Presidency of the Seventy. The Palmers just shared testimonies of the work, Sis Soarres talked about not giving up when it seems like things are going backwards, and Elder Soarres talked about So much stuff. The main thing I liked was him talking about how in places like here, we need to focus on building up the wards, having them split and having the newly split wards built up, by people living nearby. Basically he talked about Less-Actives, since all 3 of the wards I've been  in have at least a 60% inactivity rate, as do most of the places down here. This Branch has 400 members and an average attendance of 60, and like 10 Priesthood holders. So it is definatly a need.

Wednesday, was pretty normal, had another great lesson with Nfumoneko, and she's actually keeping commitments, which is always a nice change.

Thursday, we went to Middleburg, and mainly saw members, nothing real special to talk about with that

Friday, we had District meeting of Cleaning out an old flat that they are getting rid of. then we went to Phola, on exchanges with Elder Harms, which went well.

Saturday, we were in klarinet, and saw a few people, lots of cancelations, but had a good lesson or two Saw the Ngubane family, which is always fun.

Sunday, was just good, i don't know why, but I really enjoyed. Lunch with the Ganagkomos, and dinner with Sis. Pat, Elder Harms is getting transfered, so he came with to say bye to Pat. Getting Elder Critchfield, who i dont know, in his place, me and Elder Mbir are not changing.

Life is good, look up something called "the Jadite Cabbage" its way cool. its in some liahona, i dont know which, which is why google exists.

i need to buy more Pickles today.

kthanksbye
