South Africa Saints

This email is gonna be really short because I am sick as crap rn, but here are some stories from this week... Here in Ezakheni we're not really allowed to be out when its dark bc there are some groups of people that don't necessarily like the missionaries 🔪🔪 So anyway, the sun is down by this point, and you could say it was uh... dark. And lemme tell you, all the fun stuff seems to go down when the sun isn't out lol.  We pull up to one final lesson of a family of 3 who is on date, and when I get out of the car I can see someone running and stumbling at the top of the street, boy oh boy I know who it is... DRUNK BABA!! (This was probably the most drunk I've ever seen someone in real life, and it was pretty hilarious) As we're walking to our lesson, he's walking (stumbling/falling) towards us. It lowkey felt like the scene from Monsters Inc if ykwim. As we get closer to the gate of the house, he runs into the cinderblock wall and absolutely claps himself against...

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...
