Elder Swindle In Africa

Well Mamilodi is most defiantly one of my favorite places in this world, the people, the members are incredible. This week has been great, to kick her off we started with Zone conference on Tuesday, had some powerful discussions about locking your heart and repentance, i always love and look forward to the 6 hours spent, the spirit and revelation is always overwhelming! But lately its been quite the journey learning the area/ Pretoria as a whole but i am enjoying the vibe and fact that people know how to speak english fluently here so its been great. Me and the comp are getting along great we wake up every morning at 5;30 and go to the gym/ run, officially lost the extra baggage :) He is a powerful guy and is very loving to all that we teach, we've built some inedible relationships with investigators and members. Birthday was great! weird to be so madala, life moves on! Spiritual moment of the week- We got a referral from a member to go see this guy on the far side of mams out i...

Hey Everyone! Wow this week has been hectic, we had a mini transfer before the real one and they transferred me to Mamelodi right by the capital of SA. And man let me tell you the area is something else like I've never seen before! Its a massive township that couldn't be more crazy. The entire city is known for being a city so diverse that it's almost a country of its own. Crazy drivers and all of the above! My comp is Elder Eriemia and has signed onto Byu to play middle line backer, hes HUGE! Super great guy and has a great spirit! This is also my first time serving in a ward so its been great so far, great to see more than 40 members show up haha, we have a good amount of investigators and the work is good here. I really enjoy it! I will send pictures next week, i think it will blow all your minds! I am excited to start a new phase of my mission with the constant support of god! Love and pray for you all, always! -Elder Swindle
