Me and Elder Khoza got along perfectly. We never had
any disagreement or anything. He is super humble and so we got along great. Me and Elder Reynolds are going to get
along perfectly as well. He's also really humble and righteous. He
has got me fasting every week which is crazy and we're waking up at 6 which I
never thought I would say that in my life haha. But Elder Reynolds is
super obedient so I have no worries about our companionship.
We have been
smashing it so much these past few days. We just talked to everyone we
saw and found so many new people to teach. We found a sweet guy from
Zimbabwe yesterday called M who is married with a small baby.
Apparently he's a lawyer with several degrees, but our lesson was so powerful
with him. I'm praying that he'll get baptized because for sure he's a
potential stake president.
On my first day I met our fellowshipper L. I
like him a lot. But apparently his mom isn't a member. So I went to
talk to her and found out that she's never been taught the lessons by the
missionaries. I guess every new missionary came in and just assumed she's
been taught the lessons. But she hasn't so we talked to her and set an
appointment to start teaching her the lessons. I have a really great
feeling about her especially because L is going on a mission really
soon. But she came to church and the speakers in sacrament meeting were Elder Reynolds talking about the restoration, me talking about the Book of
Mormon, and L talking about missionary work. At the end of sacrament
meeting I saw her wiping tears from her eyes. She was clearly very
touched by the messages and testimonies. Her husband passed away a few
years ago and we testified to her that she can live with him again.
Really sweet.
We also met a girl named A on Saturday, taught her
the restoration, and on Sunday she turned up to church like an hour and a half
early. We're aiming her baptism for December 17th.
I found out that next sunday is stake conference in the
Mdantsane chapel where I used to go to church every Sunday. I'm really
excited about that. Practically everyone I loved from Mdantsane will be
there and Elder Greengrass will be there as well so the 2 of us are going to
meet up with all of our recent converts and it's going to be a big day for
me. I've thought about Mdantsane a lot since I left. It really has
a special place in my heart.
I promised you pictures but I think I'm going to wait until
next week to be consistent with my usual character haha.
To Dad:
I
didn't describe my apartment to mom but it's a double story house with an
automatic garage that we pull the car into. Pretty weird. And it
has carpet which is just blowing my mind.
