Elder Swindle In Africa

Hey yall! This week has been nothing but excellent! We had quite the hectic week as predicted we traveled to polokwane two different times this week for zone conference and district leader training, but it was great, the things that were learned at conference were amazing so spiritually uplifting and gave us all a kick in the behind :) We got news this week that Elder thusi is training in Modjodji and i am going back to Mafikeng! Lenyenye will be white washed too! So everything happened exactly opposite of everyones predictions but hey the lord is in charge! Weird to think that i will be back in my birth place with my people! I honestly wasn't expecting to go back so soon but i know for a fact the lord needs me back for some reason! I cant wait to work in maf-town with twice the experience i had before its going to be great! Yesterday we said good bye to MY PEOPLE and some investigators i am going to miss them all dearly, the relationship i have made with all of them in the last ...

WOW what a amazing week!! First off i cant describe how happy i am for my sister to make this huge move in life and except her call to the JAMAICA KINGSTON MISSION!!!!! I am so happy for her and wish i could give her a huge hug right now! Everyone be sure to support and hug her! This week has been excellent, we finally had a shot at a real week and were able to see many people! The beginning of the week we went to krugar national park with the whole zone and were able to see many different animals and an amazing landscape. I will try and add as many pictures as i can. Me and my comp have felt the blessing of hard work finally pay off this last week. On fast sunday i fasted for our investigators that they would progress and accept the gospel into their lives. And BAM it happened! We had so much progress and all of our investigators had this strange new desire, that's the only way i can put it. Multiple times me and Elder Thusi would finish a lesson and get back into the boki and ...

HAPPY 2016!!! Wow i can hardly believe it is 2016 it is blowing my mind! But either way i am very excited for this upcoming year and all the things i will see and do. I will be honest it was weird, i was setting goals for this next year and all of them were mission related, what a blessing and honor it is that i have a whole brand new year ahead of me to preach the gospel! I know that so much will be accomplished this year and am excited to WORK! So this last week was pretty much identical to last week, we had an early curfew again and yet again mass amounts of food at the campbells! This week we saw as many people as we possibly could on tuesday and wendsday and then spent the rest of the holidays with our zone up in petersburg and had a nice braai! This time of the year has been great fun but i am ready to get back into the regular routine and have a REAL week! This week we were finally able to meet up with our investigator symoucoius and his wife which are probably the most busy ...
