well today we had a bunch of appointments, we met with brother Greig and his wife. his wife is a non-member but she decided she wants to join the church and be baptized end of January, so that was a very successful appointment! they even gave us some food:) then we went to meet a guy named Alfred in Kwamakhutah... he doesn't live in a very prosperous area, we go tracting their and the people love to listen to us but the town is really far away from the church and a lot of people cant afford to taxi to church each week so its really hard for them:( and they live in really small houses and the main problem we have when going to appointments is barely any of the houses have an actual address... so its nearly impossible to find them.. I was talking to a 12 or so year old kid named mozi for about ten minutes and th whole time a little girl, about 3 years old, was walking around in a dirt field with a stick on top of a piece of bread. she loved her bread and stick and was really enjoying rubbing the bread in the dirt! it was the sweetest thing, it really made me feel super blessed for what i have:)
after that we went to phindys house and she fed us and it was AMAZING! hahaha

wow today was a HOOOOTTTTTT day! it was miserable today! everyone went to the beach and we had to wear collard shirts and ties with long pants. it pretty much sucked.
but tonight we went into the ocean to help the reises. they own the fish shop and needed help getting salt water! so we carried tons of big jugs and filled them all up carried them to the car, then filled up a big 250 gallon tank... then filled up all the jugs again and carried them back to the truck on the other side of the beach. I'm gonna be really sore tomorrow! but now i can say I have been in the Indian ocean... granted it was was only up to my knee, and i was in a white shirt and tie... but hey, it counts!

today was really hot again. and my shoulders are killing me from last night! today we went and visited a few members, ate some food, and gave a blessing to sister nkosi who's sick.. so it was a pretty successful day........up until our car broke:/ so that kinda sucked.. the battery keeps dying... even when we drive it just shuts off. so we left it at the church and i think were gonna take it in on Monday.
