Week 12- Snakes and the First Transfer

Hey everyone!

Wow what a crazy week let me tell you! So much has happened and time keeps flying by! This week has been great and very enjoyable! Last p day we played rugby and man Africans love it, it got pretty tense and man was i sore after! Right after that we went out to eat on the street and we got a call from the security company that some one broke into our chapel! So you have to realize that are chapel looks like a prison/fortress so these thing don't happen...But we got there and in the back they broke through a window and stole all of the huge chapel speakers! And the window they busted though is ridiculously small! No one knows how they did it but they are African so i know at least they didn't use magic. But we went to Botswana and had zone conference and got to see some of the new guys! Love them all they are great! And right after we went to a place called the BDF camp for a zone activity, which is a huge army base and right in the middle of it the keep a bunch wild animals!! Probs the coolest thing I've done in my life! We got what they call a 'African tour" We literally were face to face to lions and crocodiles and you name it! The whole time i could have thought about my well being but WHO CARES it was so cool!! The pics will show! 

But this week i am getting transferred!!! Man i am sad to leave the coolest comp in the mission and Mafikeng were i was born! Wish i could experience Elder Lawson and Elder Williams going home :( But i am excited!! The area is the new addition to our mission from the Jo-berg mission and its called limpopo and i will be serving in a area called lenyenye! It is subtropical and super green they say! It is right next to Peroria and from Maf-town its almost 9 hours! So on sunday i said all my goodbyes and packing up! I will be comps with a Elder Stomps. Very excited but sad also because i am leaving all my investigators behind and will miss Keltso's Baptism (would of been my first!) So i will keep it short this week and add a bunch of pics! I know what i am doing is inspired and the lord know whats best! I am excited to take all the knowledge i have learn here and apply it to a fresh area! Going to miss home sweet Maf-town!! Know that i love you all and the work is good here!!:) 
You guys are awesome!!:)

What a incredible week! I dont think ive ever been more busy my whole mission compared to this week! So to explain  first before i explain about the details, we prayed Sunday night for a "PERFECT WEEK" i guess we didnt really know exactly what we meant but we prayed for it. It all started off on Tuesday, We had a awesome zone service in the Montana elders area, we did so much manual labor i but my back out probably for the rest of my mission. None the less it was a great opportunity for zone unity and we had a blast. After which we where able to able to see everyone we had scheduled for, including sister Maleka and her family, we felt inspired to bring a sister and her husband from the group teaching with us and we had a wonderful discussion about eternal marriage and temples. We Were finally able to have a productive lesson with sister jackquine(less-active) were she was able to feel the spirit. Wednesday we watched the world wide missionary broadcast. Yes we ...

Good morning over there! Yeah so the new house is sweet, its pretty roomy for both of us. We are getting so much more work done now its incredible. We found a ton of new investigators last week and this week and we have been able to see most of them. Lots of cool story's. First we broke our record for investigator lessons taught in a week sense we opened the area!  And we decided to track down as many of the former investigators as we could and we found Maria and pindilea who are wonderfully prepared, they had a brother who was takin the lessons and was going to be baptized but the missionary's were taken out of the area and their brother bongoni passed away. It was crazy when they showed us his BOM that he would study out of and the old pamphlets. Besides that we found a lot of father led family's and they all look promising. We are a happy bunch and should have sister mathodi baptized on the 29th. She is awesome, every time she blows me away with signs of a c...
