I Can't Handle the Heat!

Hey fam and friends!!!

Ok like honestly I hate the heat hahahah :) it has been super-hot here about 102 on average!!! I really can’t wait to get back into the Utah snow!!! 10 months.... weird hahah anyways I’m still alive and kicking :) sorry I’m bad at main emails lately I’ve been pretty busy here I guess hahha :) that’s a good thing right?

Well anyways the last two weeks have been amazing!!! Let’s me just say this...... by the end of this transfer will be five baptisms this transfer... we had 15 investigators come to church 11 yesterday. We find new powerful people to teach on the daily! The district is having a lot of fun and really really working hard! Me and elder legas are best friends hahahh :) he is seriously like my brother!
Well now about some interesting stories..... so I hadn’t dry cleaned my suit since lesotho ok so it was time to actually ​do something about that. So i took in my suit on a Friday. Expecting to pick it up that Saturday. Well ok usually stores close at about 5 on the weekends.... but I guess that the dry cleaning store is in its own little world and closes at 1..... like what is the point of that..... open from 10 to 1..... just stay closed if that is the case. So I didn’t have my suit for that Sunday which was weird because we wear our suit every Sunday.

Well the area is growing and is actually really interesting. You have the sketchy parts and the parts where you don’t even half to lock up because it is so secure! Its nice a lot of variety I guess hahah ;)
Fun little story..... so there was an investigator that we had in thaba nchu.... well about two weeks teaching her she randomly moved..... and guess who I ran into the other day. THE SAME GIRL. She lives right next to the other missionaries boarding! So now the other missionaries are teaching her and progressing with her.... Small world small world!

OH AND BY THE WAY HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Last one on mission ahhaha :) that’s so weird ahhaah still got some time though!!! Someone go get a lot of candy then take a picture.... and send it to me.... as well as the candy!!!

Hmmm what else to talk about.... oh so.... there are a lot of little kids in the area that love us... and so we stop by often on the way to appointments and just say hi.... we there is about a solid 13 of them.... they all came to church one day.... randomly not expected hahahah and now they love it there and have friends. So we are starting to teach the older ones and are going to be putting a lot of other people on B date soon. THE LORD HAS PREPARED THIS AREA!!!

On Saturdays every morning at seven we go and play soccer on this small turf soccer field!!!! ITS CRAZY FUN!!! I’ll have to take better pictures and send them..... I’ve been super lazy with my camera and with my journal...... Sorry mom.....

I know that there was more to talk about but I can’t remember....... OH GOT IT
So Elder Palmer from the 70 came to the mission.... AND IT WAS POWERFUL! We had a zone conference and he taught us and man just gave energy into the mission. Also during the leadership meeting.... Man I thought I was part of the 70 the spirit was crazy thick hahahah :) Then we had a fireside in our area later that night and his focus was on less actives and returned missionaries and just from that fireside about 6 less actives are now active again! IT IS AWESOME TO SEE!!!

Stay safe and scare someone for me hahaha :) Happy Halloween! The church is true the book is blue Christ is a Mormon too and Satan hates your face!!!

Back to Zulu!

When I was transferred I was sad but excited for the next experience on my mission :) So far I love the area. It is hard starting all fresh but it is all ok. Especially because I have a really really cool companion!!! MY SON! literally my mini me! He loves football, basketball, having fun and working hard. He actually is going to play Quarter back at BYU when he returns home!!!! So we throw the football around often! The work is a little slow but will soon be picking up when we introduce the reactivation program into the Madadeni branch (instruction from president Thompson) So I know that the branch will soon be picking up :) I am a district leader and training. It is kind of  hard then on top of that we are fresh missionaries in the area so we literally have to start from scratch! So that is a little stressful as well :) But it is a lot of fun!


It is a really crazy experience to going back to the zulu language! I know a lot of sesotho and jumping back from forth from sesotho to zulu language is mind messing hahah :) but I love it... oh and I missed the zulu food.... ITS AMAZING its like the guys dream food! Rice..... and meat!!!!! Who wouldn’t want that all the time :) I’m excited for this upcoming week we have a lot of work to do and on top of that IT is elder Legas Birthday on Tuesday so you know we are about to party hahah :)

 I’m safe I’m very healthy!!! And I love my mission more and more every day :) Sorry that this was short but I will make it up to my family and friends and my blog followers hahah :) Whats Up Bloggers???
