Elder Swindle In Africa

heyti! heyti! Man this week was great! Was at times pretty slow but for the most part rolled by pretty fast! Well to start off Frank, Hazel, and Winnie were confirmed a couple days ago and it was awesome to see all their big smiles and the joy that they received instantly from the spirit! Love them and know they will help uplift our small little branch. This week at church was great because we had a lot of less actives come despite the hurricane weather we've had, and the best part is that they brought friends with them as well so we have gained a lot of potential investigators and some solid ones too! The amazing thing about this place is that there is no end to the amount of work that needs to be done here, there are always less actives to see and members to strengthen! One of my investigators Eddy invited me to play some basketball with him and his boyz and to no surprise they were just the same as the ballers in Mafikeng! We are trying to build a good relationship and trust ...

Hey yall! This week was great i have enjoyed this week so much! This week was yet again extremely hot, and its not even summer yet! I will be teaching in a lesson and sweat will be dripping from every pore but thank goodness for A/C's! We have had a lot of commotion this week many things happening here and there, i went on exchanges almost 3 times this week and learned a lot! On tuesday this week Me and Elder Dazousa from SA went on exchanges because his comp couldn't walk due to a twisted ankle, but we had a great time tracking and meeting a lot of new faces, it was interesting to serve in a city (almost like american fork) instead of a straight up village! We both learned a lot from each other. Next i went out with ELder Lylbe a Zone leader for almost two days and man we had the best of time, he is amazingly obedient so we meshed together quite well. We worked from 10 til 9:30 each night and gave it all we got. Loved it! And then of course this week we had 3 baptisms! Fr...

Hows it going everyone? This week has been excellent! This week seemed to fly by extremely fast unlike last week. It's crazy on a mission how the days can go by kind of slow but when you look up and blink a whole month has gone by! Makes you cherish the valuable time we have as missionaries. This week the work has been good, we have had a lot of lessons and are always busy. If we are not teaching a investigator or a recent convert we can ALWAYS find a less active! But as of yesterday one of our investigators; Frank passed his baptismal interview!! This means he will be baptized next week.This was great news to us because he has a difficult time with English, but man is he a faithful saint. Frank only has one leg and has to pay 70 rand just to get to church (70 rand is about 5 bucks) and it is very difficult for him to come up with that much money. To my great delight he came to church this week proudly with his nicely pressed blue suit. What a blessing it was! As for our other i...
