hey! my week was good. my comp and i are still together which is sick. im for sure leaving next transfer because itll be 6 months in this area. unfortunately elder chapman (tongan from california) and elder neilsen (from idaho) are leaving. they are so cool and we always have a good time together.
meriam and mpho are alright we recently found out that the wife has a drinking problem but its nothing the Lord cant fix.
church was good we had stake conference in bloemfontein(3 hours away).
i havent got your package or your letter but people will be leaving and coming to their new areas on tuesday so when hopefully when the new elders come theyll have mail with them if theyre coming from durban. if not ill wait probably till week three when we have ztm. im stoked to get your pakcage though.
dj said he never got an email from me. i guess i had the wrong address but its fixed now so thats good.
i usually fix my own breakfast and lunch sometimes people feed us dinner. for breakfast i have cereal, eggs, or oatmeal. mainly cereal though. for lunch i usually eat, grilled cheese, spaghetti, sometimes french toast, or an egg and noodle omelet (an elder showed me how to cook it). people usually feed us pap or rice with meat or some squash. i love squash but im sick of pap and rice haha ill never eat that back home.
its getting pretty hot winter is over. we are on bikes so im getting darker and darker each day. im drenched in sweat too when we arrive to appointments haha. i got spf 70 sunblock though so it should help. it rarely if ever rains here.
im healthy doing fine. my comp is a little sick but hes getting better. i live in a four man boarding. the other elders are cool except one hes an african and he’s 26. i live with elder nielsen the cool guy from idaho but hes leaving. were getting another american. i heard hes cool so it should be nice.
i hear from my mom, nesha, and tierra alot. theyre pretty supportive nesha said shell be sending me a letter. i think they are getting use to things now.
i dont have much to say this week because we got bunked a lot for some reason. for example, on saturday we had a full day appointments every hour. we got bunked the entire day only our 7:00 didnt bunk. it was a very spiritual lesson. our investigator amos is struggling his wife is sick in the hospital and he hates it. he began to cry hard in the lesson. we taught according to his needs and talked about faith, hope, and the saviors atonement. we left him ether 12 to read. he’s on b date. even though we got bunked the entire day that one lesson we did have made up for everything else.
we have an investigator named mthathaleili whos going to be baptized this month im stoked for that. we just have to teach him lesson 5 and then he will be interviewed and enter the waters of baptism. weve been working with this guy alot since july, but we wanted him to be prepared and not just baptize a less active. weve both prayed about it and feel hes ready. we can tell that hes changed alot.
the photos are awesome my lil bros are studs.
love you guys. enjoy the week aye.
