Elder Swindle In Africa

ola ola ola!! Hey everyone! Its great to hear from you all just like always! This week has been quite insane! We were litterally in botswana the whole week with the G-west elders! Man they are great and we enjoyed our time together! While in gabs we went to a convention where hundreds of churches and businesses were there showing off their stuff, the church had a booth there and we had a bunch of posters and jazz up so people could easily understand how our church runs. But it was awesome because everyone walked up to us and it was probably the easiest kind of contacting you could do on a mission! Lots of bible bashing and lots of heated debates but it was well worth our time! When i wasn't at the convention i was on exchanges with the zone leader-elder Bassima who serves in the exact same stake from which he was born and raised! The elders up in bots are powerful they sacrifice so much and most of them go straight off to the field and don't even go to the MTC...

Hey ya'll!! I hope everyone is doing well, and i am glad to hear from everyone and to see all the smiles! But otherwise the work is good here in Mofikeng and its finally starting to warm up and to actually feel like Africa!! The mornings here are freezing but they are finally warming up and the windy season is on the way before the heat arrives! This week me and Elder Williams have been cracking down on the area and really trying to learn it for ourselves because we usually have a member that's my age tag along with us each day, he literally like lives with us, he's hilarious! Too much Zulu in my life haha. But this week we have done a bunch of service and we helped with a Mormon Helping Hands at a orphanage and clean the yards and such. So one thing you have to understand about Africa is they have a house and they have a wall or a fence and dirt for a yard. Literally every house has a fence or a wall that has spikes on the top of it, every house is like a ...

Hello ladies and gents! I am sorry for the inconvenience and not being able to email yesterday! It's ok mom i am still alive! Yesterday was national women's day and literally nothing was open except for the grocery store thank goodness. Well if you couldn't guess this week we traveled even more and i picked up my new comp up in bots and then we had zone conference so lets just say my passport is being well used! But Elder Williams is like the coolest guy i have ever met! He has a voice exactly like Easton's and every African within a half a mile marvels at his height! (elder Lawson looks like a small child when he stands next to him) Hes exactly like me and also did dh biking back at home so of course we are instant brothers! Elder Autry got transferred to go train an greenie in mojimiji in Pretoria in the new addition to our mission. I will definitely miss the monkey. But on my way back from bots me and elder Williams got lost in gabs and finally made...

Hello everyone!! Well this week is transfers! Just when i start to learn something new i swear that something new pops up and my mind is racing once again!! So this week i will be brief so i can add a lot of pictures!! This week Elder Hunt and Elder Lawson were out doing official AP stuff in Lampopo(the witch craft city) and me and elder Autry have been all alone this week serving all of Mofikeng!! We have had a great time and have worked hard. But i swear just as soon as i got Elder Autry as a trainer he is getting transferred to Pretoria (the Capital of SA) sad to see him go, he is leaving tomorrow sad day, but a excuse to eat at KFC! :) My new comp is coming from Pretoria, his name is Elder Williams and he is going home in October. And they say he is 6'7 tall! He seems like a chill guy from talking to him on the phone. Its going to be extremely difficult though because now i am expected to know the whole area and show Elder Williams everything. Thank you for keeping me in yo...
