Hi from the Greatest place on this world!!! SA
Wow what a crazy week not going to lie :)
Well it was just a normal week at the beginning then suddenly it
change into the crazy thing ever!!!
So we had interviews with the mission president, which went really well. Then we went to bloem on Friday for specialized training.... well yeah let’s just say something happened that we were not expecting! We had the training then we were told that we would not be going back to our area that day... of even until Tuesday, because there were some bad things going on which for our safety we needed to stay in bloem... and we didn’t have a set of extra clothes or a tooth brush or what not what not well because we had to stay there, we ended up missing one of our baptisms ( patricia ) who was baptized by her son. We had to call the koloku family and tell them that we were going to have to postpone the baptisms to next week, then we realized that the ward was going to the temple and that no one would be there. So then we were like why don’t we just do it on Sunday. Now remember at this time we were in Bloem. And were not expecting to be able to go home until Tuesday, But because there was no more threat we were able to come home late Saturday night. So Sunday morning we were pretty busy trying to figure out if we could actually pull of having the baptisms that day. We called the bishop and called the Kolokus, and they all said yes. So we rushed and got ready for church and then rushed to the chapel to fill the font. And we were able to have an amazing baptism after church!!! Number 8 in thaba nchu and we are not planning on stopping any time soon :)

So now about the celebrations :)
This morning for my birthday :) We got some of the balloons that I got in my birthday package and us elders had some fun breaking these huge water balloons over our heads and just doing crazy p day things hahahh :) It is really weird to think I’m not a teenager anymore hahahah :) it honestly doesn’t feel like I’m 20 years old hahah :) The only thing that felt a little different was all the birthday wishes (thank you everyone for those by the way :) I’m not sure if I’ll have enough time to fully email everyone like I want to so anyways thank you so much)
I ATE LEGIT CEREAL TODAY!!!!!!! FRUITY PEBBLES!!!!!!!! HEAVEN IN
MY MOUTH HAHAHAH Like I ate half the box in one sit down..... And guess what I’m
having for dinner tonight...... THE REST hahahaha. Seriously the packages that I
got for my one year mark and birthday were like the greatest things ever
hahahah :)
After we email here we are going to the hotel to have legit
burgers again!!! And after that to bishops house to party!!!!!!! don’t really
know what we are going to do so that will be for next week’s email hahah.
This week is elder welling last week... meaning its mears last
week as well which is extremely weird ahhaha so we will be going back to bloem
to drop him off and so a lot of traveling lately, BUT we are still doing the
best we can to do the lords work!!
We have a new family that we are teaching far away from the chapel
but they are progressing and are in love with how the church is so that is the
next family hopefully to be baptized!!! We will see though!
I love my mission like I always say! It’s sad to think that this
may be my last week to be in thaba nchu! Week six is already here and that is
really weird hahah I’ll be going onto transfer number 10!!! That is just weird
hahahah :)
Sorry this email was short but I got to go and party for my big
20th birthday.... I’ll be home for my next birthday ahhah weird hahah :)
Love you all!!
