Week #95 Lighting Up My Last Transfer Like The 4th Of July

Hey y'all I'm tired and need extra rest this week so this email will be more of a highlight reel. Hopefully some crazy photos and videos on the google photos will make up for it.

Tuesday:


  • Weekly planned

  • Had some great lessons with our progressing Friends!

  • Made a banger beef stew for dinner


Wednesday:


  • We taught our security guards. We also taught a huge family of 7 kids from 17yrs-23yrs. I may or may not have fallen asleep in that lesson

  • Also had a great lesson with Owen who invited his landlord and her daughter, Edith and Palesa, to join!

  • We had my last transfer news. Gibb is going to the office and I'll be staying and receiving a new greenie, Elder Searle, from Utah.


Thursday:


  • We met with Sticks and Kefilwe for the first time in forever since they were away apparently. It was nice and Gibb got to say goodbye to them. We also had a great lesson and a goodbye with Definite and Dorothy.

  • We also saw a very very very high dude doing some very questionable things to a support pillar at the mall when we went for lunch...


Friday:


  • My son arrived. We got lunch and some goat was harassing him the whole time. Then we went out and had some good lessons. 

  • The ZL's took us to a prayer service for the passing of Bishop Nyepi's nephew.

  • Michelle's guardians said she needs to be 18 to be baptized so we'll have to postpone which sucks!

  • We had like 12 elders over to our flat including the senior couple the Smiths!!! We made a giant cheeseburger “Neu-Burger” for the Neubergers and the 4th of July and hand dropped it to them. It was the size of a plate and delicious (pictures and videos included).

  • We made chapat-dogs (chapati covered hotdogs) pig in a blanket style. With Chilli and Sister Smith's apple pie. We had a great feast and many memories made, the Smiths are the coolest people ever

  • Happy 4th of july!!


Saturday:


  • Had a good DCM in the morning with scripture telestrations. We got a good lunch at romans with the Zl's after.

  • We had a great BOM lesson with Beatrice and Annika, 2 Zimbabwean ladies that we met with Masutha last week!

  • We had many other lessons and reminded a lot of people about church

  • The ZL’S did Peaches interview and I did one for them as well. 

  • We went with them to the EQP'S home to end the night and his TV was on and we were all incredibly distracted… mission does some crazy things to you.


Sunday:


  • We got 20 people to church and had the baptism of Peaches which was great!

  • Our recent convert, Champion Moyo, died in the morning so we went and had a prayer service after church and at 5:30.

  • In between that we had some lessons, a personal study and then we ended the night by going to the Rampes with the ZL's.

  • We had a great meal with them, played some games, a dance off, and of course shared a spiritual thought. They are the best!


Monday:


  • We played sports, got dinner, went to a crazy nice store (Fragrances Notwane), and played some pool.


Conclusion:


It was a fun week with a lot of crazy things going on but I'm excited for this transfer. Have a good week, love y'all.

I didn't have this photo last week so I wanted to include my goodbye to Sister Walker. She is wonderful.
