We have been quoting Mobsters and Mormons all week. My companion (because he is Brazilian) says everything super funny. He always says "Gabagoo Ham" haha. He is a funny guy. I hope after this week we are together a third transfer. Transfer news are this Saturday and for some reason I am really nervous for these ones.
We had a hectic week with two different transfers. I got to actually leave my area for the first time on mission, and spend some time with an elder from my group, elder Nichols, in Illovu. We had an appointment for every hour of the day, but I didn't really get to say much, because he talked to everybody in Zulu. Thats hard for me, because I don't know much. It's not the mission language either. But all is well, we had a powerful day. Other than a lady not opening the door for us even though we could see each other through the window. We had an appointment but I guess she changed her mind and wouldn't even open the door for us. kinda put a damper on the day, but what can we do? Gotta press forward.
Next day, I went on an exchange with Elder Ostler from Umlazi. We came to Kwamashu and had a strong day. We had 4 appointments towards the end of the day but they were all 30 minutes from each other and very far away from each other. We only were able to make it to two of them, but it was people who are preparing for baptism. We ended our last appointment WAY past dark because at the last minute the family brought us out some Khumnandi food. And I swear, I was given and entire chicken to eat holy cow I had so much meat. my body is not going to be recognizable by the time I get home. but anyways, because of how late it was and where we were, a member bought us a taxi to get home.
Our investigator prince is still struggling. We have been reading the book of Mormon with him to help him understand the doctrine of Jesus Christ. He is doing better and should be coming with us to church on Sunday.
Last Monday we got small copies of the Book of Mormon. The point of them is to read whenever we have time. If somebody asks us about it, it is a good opportunity to tell them about it and give it away. Just like president Nelson said, if we read the book of Mormon, we will make better choices everyday, and I am a witness of that. The book of Mormon changes lives. It has changed my life. Everybody please do all you can to share this book with people:)
I AM enjoying leadership more. After the whole Emergency exchange thang, I have been much better. We did a lot of exchanges with the zone this week and it honestly felt a lot more productive. We met a lot of cool people and had zero time to waste. I'm learning how to be a good leader, but be fun at the same time. It IS really hard to balance sometimes.
To answer your questions (lol) My socks are fine, but disappearing suddenly. My shoes are getting rekt. I don't remember what driving on the right side of the road even feels like anymore. Sometimes though I switch into American mode and then things get crazy for a bit haha. The hardest thing about it is people always asking us for rides, especially missionaries. We aren't really allowed to use the car for that much. I didn't have breakfast today, because we didn't have anything to eat. Our appartment is too far away to get something to eat.
I love you all!!!
