Elder Swindle In Africa

Man what a week! This week was been something else let me tell you! CHRISTMAS WAS EXCELLENT! So maybe i will just down run down of the week so we can fill you all in! We started the week off super packed. Me and Elder Thusi made it a goal to see as many people as we possibly could on Tuesday and Wednesday because we knew that not many investigators will be available for Christmas. We saw like 7 people each day and had district meeting late at night because of how hectic the day was. It was great to see everyone right before the holidays, sad to say everyone in the villages didn't really care, just another day for them to lounge around. But on Christmas eve we went and saw member's in Modjiodji and Lenyenye and what a great time it was. The member's in modjiodji are some of the most incredible and favorite people I've ever met in my life! On Christmas eve morning we helped a member named benitt get water, his legs are crippled and he lives on top of a hill in a shac...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! (almost) Well it is quite hard to belive that Christmas is coming this week and man let me tell you it does not feel like Christmas even to the smallest amount!! 90-100 degrees every day just really won't cut it! It feels like i am in southern Utah and its Mid Summer in June. Hard to belive that there is snow back home and people are throwing snow balls at eachother. But it will definitely be a interesting Christmas with our little family here in Limpopo! We probaly have the smallest district in the whole mission but we enjoy it! Everyone else never got their package so it looks like what ever is in mine will be split into 4, they said if they dont have it by now they will get it in Febuary. We are going to have Christmas Eve dinner at the cambels and the same on Christmas day when we call home! Very Excited! Cant wait to see all my brothers and my parents, my dog.... oh yeah my sisters too! Should be great! This week we were able to make it to modjodji and saw...

Christmas is right around the corner! Well this week has been great and i cant help but to be extremely excited for Christmas! Just 11 more days! Time has flown and it honestly doesn't really feel like Christmas when its a constant 90 degrees and no Christmas lights on any house kinda sad but that's kinda how it goes here. I ask every person we teach about Christmas coming up and if they are excited, but they just say meh not really just another day, or if they manage to say they are excited it takes quite a bit of effort. Sad but hey! I'm Excited! haha This week has been great we have had Zone meeting and it was hilarious to see all the new greenies and their reactions super funny! Was i but tis not i. Crazy to think i was in their same position just 6 months ago. This week we saw a fair amount of investigators and it was great to see the progress they made from last time we saw them. We have a investigator named Symoucius that is a Representative for a political group he...

Its December already?? Well you could easily say that this week has been the craziest week of my mission by far! So much has happened, so much traveling it was quite unreal.  Literally  this whole week was spent driving to Poloqani and to Pretoria! So this week our flat got broken into and they took all my allotment money for the month!(looks like im going to be eating rice for another month haha) Honestly not the greatest feeling when you know  you've  been robbed twice from the same drawer in my desk. We found that it was a member sadly, and to keep the story short, Elder hunt got transferred early and i have a new companion! His name is Elder Thusi from Durban SA, first African comp, super humble guy and the future looks bright for us! We are excited to start working in the area after so long! We were finally able to get into the area yesterday and was almost overwhelmed with the work we put on pause! But yesterday was probably the best Sunday we of t...
