We Got a GREENIE!

YAYYYY We got a greenie in our district now! Elder Hiatt is training a youngin', Elder Fife. He is from Boise and can draw anything you ask him to. It's a nice thing to have, because he can make our meme ideas come to life!

Elder Bezerra and I have been putting in the work this last week. We knocked a pretty good chunk of Kwamashu this last week and I think it is started to pay off. There is something about coming home after a day of sweating and getting turned away that makes you feel more optimistic about the days to come. Our district has set the goal to Find the "One" Every day. It HAS been a struggle, but we have found that person. 

One of these is named Prince. We met him yesterday after church. We went to a home that we scheduled an appointment at, but we met him instead(if that makes sense). He explained some problems that he has been facing in his life recently and we got to share with him the book of Mormon. It was really cool to see how it answered the questions that troubled his soul. We read about the spirit world and the resurrection and about how families can be together forever. I don't think I have felt the spirit in a lesson like that before. It was really cool!

We got to pick up all the new missionaries from the airport, which means we also got to drive by the Durban Temple! I was so excited to see it! It has changed a lot since the last time I was at it a year ago!

Love you all!

We got to visit the Bluff when picking up elders for transfers.
We stopped to see the Allen family, who is my favorite.

Memes lol. A pie-in-ear, Get it?

On my study grind.

We got a new mission president and had another zone Conference this week! We had another Zone conference with Durban, Richards Bay and Hillcrest zones. There were a lot of missionaries and I wasn't sure how our mission president was going to handle it, But I already feel like he has connected with everyone and he has really made me feel like he cares about the missionaries and our success and safety. He is a super cool guy. Multiple times already he has told me we are going to get along, and I think its because when I told him I am from Blackfoot Idaho, we immediately started talking about fly fishing. He invited me to tie flies with him some P-day.

It's the end of another transfer and I am staying zone leader in Durban. Its actually weird because not much is changing in our zone. Other than the fact that a lot of our elders here are going to be training. Also, my son elder Ndlovu is going to be training which means I will have a grandson! I'm super excited about that!:))))) 

We spent most of our last week moving in. I got to drive a Nissan Hardbody which is a manual transmission so that was pretty fun;) We now live In Kwamashu, and our boarding is 3 levels up. It took a lot of trips to move out and we didn't get much help from the other elders and I kinda got frustrated. I need to work on patience haha...

love yall:)

Thank you, President and Sister Thompson!

HEYYYYYYY whats upppppppppp?

This week was lekker. I went on an exchange with the Bluff elders on Tuesday. Me and my companion for the day, Elder Da Silva, Were on a taxi headed somewhere through Kwamashu, And this taxi was super sketchy. It took us along some random path through the middle of the township that was really dangerous ( according to the members of the branch.) When we finally got off the taxi and started walking into a building, I felt my back pocket and realized that I left my wallet on the taxi! Now, a South African taxi is probably the last thing you want to leave your wallet in, and by the time that I realized I didn't have it, the taxi was speeding off in a random direction. As broken and sad as we were, we knew that we needed to say a prayer. Da Silva offered it, and as soon as we said Amen, The taxi came whipping around the corner and beckoned us to come. They gave my wallet back and even stayed while I checked to make sure everything was there. It would have been so easy for them to take everything, but the Lord tested our faith in him, and performed a miracle. 

We also got to meet our new mission president, President lines, at about midnight. That was a long night, and we didn't get back till about 2 in the morning. I Had so much energy afterwards that I could have stayed up much later. 

We Really just had an interesting week. We got kicked out of a lot of homes as well by Babas who never want us to come back which can be a little disheartening, but we are staying strong. We have been planning our second zone conference for this transfer as well, so plenty busy!

Love ya'll!

Howzit folks, I got some things tuh say.

This week I was super confused with where we were. House numbers make no sense. One second you are by house H345 then the house right next to it is H69 and when you are looking for house H1456 it makes for a lot of fluttering. It does create a good way to contact people when you ask for help though. A question people always ask us is where we stay.. members say that it is because people want to rob us, but I find it is usually because the people who ask us are wondering how we are so brave. They say " are you not scared?" but when they see that we are missionaries they can immediately tell that we are protected by the Lord.  We get appointments from it too :)

We met with our Branch President, President Zulu, who fed us BURRITOS and told us about ideas on having investigators progress better. Apparently nobody does ancestor worship like the Zulu people. He was telling us about how similar the beliefs of the Zulu traditions and Temple ordinances are. This is really exciting for me, because the opening for the Durban temple has just been announced! We can do a lot to help people look towards the temple and be able to do work for their ancestors:)

I ate some really hot wings this last week and they didn't even bother me. When did that happen? I was even thinking to myself that they weren't strong enough.

One thing that was really funny this week was when I used sticky tack to stick all my companion's stuff to his desk, cupboard, and ceiling. I have a video of him trying to get everything but he doesn't see his home card on the ceiling lol.

Well, have a good week!

Sawubona Ma!

This week has been good, and went by super quickly. It is weird that it is already P-day.

I'm so excited for Porter! He just had a birthday and is doing all the good things. He is so much more prepared than I was, so he will be able to go in Gunz ablazing! I sure hope Japanese is easier to learn than Zulu!

I gave a talk in Sacrament meeting yesterday and I wasn't even nervous to talk in front of everybody. That is something new. I can easily say that my ability to talk in front of people is better. I am a lot better at talking to strangers as well. I kinda find myself leading a lot in lessons and contacts, but my companion has recently shared with me that he struggles with talking to people. The language barrier also doesn't help very much I am sure.

Ya know, some people commented on my dimple this week and have told me they wish they had them. I told them I could give them one since mine is actually a scar. " HAIBO"

Ngithanda Wena!
