South Africa Saints

Yay my Google photos glitched again and kicked half of you off, get back on before you miss something 😉  Guys I'm not gonna lie, I'm so tired rn and this email is gonna be about one inhale and exhale long so buckle up.                                🚨 Transfer news 🚨 After 18 weeks of grinding in Pietermaritzburg I was told I was leaving to go and help out the UMnambithi Zone! Should be interesting to see what changed since I went there almost exactly a year ago 😭 Spiritual thought: Alma 29:10 I Love the people here in South Africa, what an amazing time I have to be here. Without this Gospel I wouldn't be here, and without my Love for the Savior I wouldn't have stayed. Life is hard, and it sucks from time to time, but i know I can always go and turn to Jesus to find peace, he is the Prince of it after all. Shoutout to Ferguson and Hartley, It was so sick to serve with yall! I'm wiped out guys, catch...

I know I mention this in almost every email but I'm always so shocked how fast I get to this point in my week where I dread typing all this out.. But, Hello everyone, PMB2 is continuing to thrive, so many cool people getting closer to God over here that they need to open another a rea 🤞 Monday: - Realized that buzzing your head just means your hair is always done 🤑 - My family missed me a lot (i think) on their trip to Duck creek  - Went Golfing and actually had a ton of fun aka I didn't play like absolute crap!  - Found out my homie Breyden Steele is going on a mission, so so happy for him!! Tuesday: - Put our friend Buhle on date for baptism! - Got kicked out of a tuckshop for literally o reason ☺️ (actually made me so mad) - Elder Powell AND Elder Hartley Buzzed 🦲 The whole district is going bald.  Wednesday: - Had 11 lessons  - Met with Shadrack who is probably the most faithful new member of the church I've ever met out here, he has a severe medical problem a...

Wow this week was something else, one of the more emotionally draining weeks I've had not gonna lie. Not because of stuff happening in Africa, but stuff back in America.  We all need to connect with Jesus a bit more I think. Baptisms: We were blessed to help Asakhe and Dynamique make promises with heavenly father on Sunday!   Dont even worry, we have more on the way in the coming weeks!  Tender mercies: My current area really has the whole spectrum of types of members, some of them are really difficult to deal with, but in all that rough we have a couple diamonds. One of them being Brother Holmes, and one being Brother Shadrack! They both speak fluent French and were able to do the Baptism and confirmation in Dynamiques native language! It made everything so much more special and personal for him. God is aware of all of our needs and finds a way to fulfill them, you think id be used to seein these miracles by now but wow it never gets old. Funny stuff:  So, a co...

Hey guys how's it going?! This week was another chiller,  PMB2 is blessed 😇 Not even going to lie to you, I've been craving Texas roadhouse rolls with that butter that might as well be mana from Heaven.  If anyone could find a way to send that to the polar opposite side of the world, I'll literally love you forever. Anywho... I think I'm gonna make a structured email for once. Monday:  Much unlike the rolls from Texas roadhouse, the first half of pday was BUNS. But we went to the Holmes house for a lekker Braai (that's a BBQ for those who haven't paid attention to a single email I've sent) and yo it was fire. The Holmes have 3 little kids and they are the darndest cutest little things ever. The youngest is a 4-year-old boy named Asher and he stood right by my plate and kept asking for "mo pood"  Yall who can't translate baby, thats "more food". So, him and I were just chillin, eating microscopic sizes of steak haha. Can't wait to...

So this is gonna end up sending on Tuesday for me bc the wifi is too buns to send anything... Hey guys I hope you're all doing better than I did this last week, I gotta warn you though I had a pretty fire week so it's gonna be hard to beat 😉  Sunday we baptized our two friends;   Mgcini and Makhauta ! My comp baptized them and I had the honor of confirming both of them.  What a special privilege and power we have to do this work here on the earth today. Sometimes it shocks me that the creator of everything I can comprehend gave me a calling to find his lost children and bring them back. He knows how imperfect I am, but he continues to see and trust my potential. God has been blessing this area despite my lack of confidence and stumbling blocks that I set up for myself.  He knows the intentions of our hearts, and I just love him so much for that. Imagine being loved by someone who sees your struggles not as a mirror and reflection of who you are, but as a window...
