I definitely do not feel 19. I still feel 16 hahaha.
19 is way older than me.
Easter in South Africa is really small. I didn't even
know it was Easter until like Thursday when the Branch President asked me to
give a talk in sacrament meeting.
Elder Mabanga came on Wednesday. He's a real blessing
to me because I like him a lot. We traded in our car to the mission
office the day he got here because he can drive stick. And we got a
manual car and he taught me to drive, so now I can officially drive manual
which is dope.
Today was really awesome. We woke up at 5:30 and hiked
up Table Mountain which was an absolutely grueling hike. Especially since
I'm way out of shape now. It took like 5 hours but it was super dope and
it gave us a really nice view of Cape Town. Me and Elder Faingata'a
slayed it. All the other missionaries lagged far behind.
Tonight we have 3 DAs planned with awesome people who are
just the best, and they are baking me a cake and stuff it's going to be sweet.
President Merrill did call me today but I was on top of
Table Mountain so I didn't get it haha
We had baptismal interviews yesterday for our 2
investigators who were supposed to be baptized next Sunday, E and
S. S is so awesome. She's probably one of the most
powerful people I have ever taught, but she failed her interview.
Apparently she has been having some problems smoking cigarettes and she hasn't
fully overcome it yet. I didn't know about this but I did have an
idea. It made me very sad though. I am sure she will be baptized
the next time we have a baptism though.
Letter to Dad:
Happy Birthday, Dad :)
When I opened up my presents I saw the one from Dad and I
said to my companion, "It's going to be a book by Hugh Nibley"
And he didn't really know who that is, but I opened it up and sure
enough. But I'm super excited about that book. I really love the
Book of Mormon and I would love to gain a really deep understanding of the Book
of Mormon.
I got my companion on Wednesday. He's a
really good guy and I like him a lot.
