Week 32

hows it? hows the fam? I'm happy, healthy, and handsome(as usual). this

week was just amazing. my comp is dope. i get out of the shower and he

polishes my shoes, i forgot to make my bed and he made it for me, and

he cooks me lunch. hes super cool and we have a great companionship. im

hoping were together for another transfer. 

our area is doing good a lot better than it use to be. we have 6 families in 

our teaching pool. we recieved a referral from a member in our branch and 

this family is amazing. theyve met with missionaries in the past they are very

accepting to our message. theyve been struggling the husband was

unemployed for 6 months and theyve been stressing due to bills and not

being able to provide for simple necessities. unemployment rate is 50

% percent right now in south africa. he almost thought about committing

a crime for money thats how bad the family needed money. him and his

wife had been praying for help and for a job but nothing happened.

they started to question if God existed because they felt he wasnt

answering their prayers. get this we meet them once and introduced the

restoration  they asked us to pray for them. my comp and i mentioned

them in our prayers; a few days later the husband gets a call for a

interview and passes the interview now he has a job. what a miracle

and blessing.  Heavenly Father answers prayers, he lives , and he

loves us more than we can imagine. somtimes we just have to be patient

when waiting for answers to our prayers. i know that God knew when the

right timing was to get him a job just when he met missionaries so it

would testify that we are true representatives of Jesus Christ. they

came to church yesterday and loved they even invited us over for

dinner. they expressed how grateful for they are for us. the wife

began to cry and opened us to us and shared some sensitive matters.  we

had a wonderful visit with them the wife said this is her church she

joining it. the husband just wants to know more but is willing to

join. he asks super good questions its cool though when im not too

sure about answering one of his questions i go " my companion has a

great answer for that"  and he chucks it back at me hahah. but we

teach well and answer his questions. im so glad i decided to serve a

mission. i wouldve never met these wonderful people. i know that i was

sent to south africa for specific reasons and when the Lords wants me

to go to kenya ill go. its so cool to see the gospel bless peoples

lives. 

thanks for sending the package. doesnt matter which baseball

tee you sent ill be happy. but it wasnt the ice cream one aye? i cant

wear that. i got your letters and postcard from san diego but not the

chocolatre chip cookie one. ill mail you a letter today i put a little

gift inside for you. i havent really got many packages  i dont know

who said that but its all good. thats weird everyones in school. glad

to hear things are well. the photos are dope. its nice to see your

guys faces. presidnet palmer is right i better enjoy it aye. my comp

is awesome. him and my trainer are my favorite comps so far. my

favorite part about mission is learning doctrine, growing, seeing the

Lord more abundantly in my life, and seeing the gospel bless/ change

peoples lives. hardest part is getting crappy companions they just

test you on all levels and make life miserable haha. the thing i miss

the most is family , friends, and food. the food here is alright but i

miss the food back home. love and miss you guys. have a good week.

cheers aye.-elder bryant
