Crocodiles!! hahaha they're hugggeee here!! they actually havent the world oldest crocodile in captivity and it was 116 that day:) so that was pretty darn cool:) I got a bunch of pictures and had a lot of fun:)
Im excited to go to another area though.. this one is pretty small and theres not much to do... I heard theres a place out in Free State where you get to play with Lions and tigers and cheetahs and stuff! BIG full grown ones and little baby cubs as well:) i saw pictures of missionaries doing that in the Christmas slide show and I really want to do that!

Saturday January 7th I think? 2017
Today was craaazy fun/long! We found a map of our area in our boarding, so we looked at it & decided to do some tracting around our chapel. So our map showed that there was a street that was a culdesac so we said, lets hit that street up! We parked the car at the chapel and went on our way. Only to find out that the cul-de-sac did not exist...we ended up at some trail head that led to a river, we decided, hey, lets see where she takes us. We took some sweet photos though, and had some fun, aaaaaand then we got lost..we were not sure where we were, so we started walking, & walking, & walking..we ended up in Kwa-Makhutha & then Dooneside, which is like a 10 minute DRIVE from the chapel & we had to walk all the way back. Wow we walked far, but we had so much fun. Great great times.

Sunday was pretty good. Sunday was fast & testimony which went well. We had to teach the youth class because sister Cebekulu had a emergency at home. After church, we took the sacrament to brother Trevor. He is such an awesome guy, he is the 1st counselor in the bishopric, but is very sick. He has a bad heart, and he cannot walk far before getting really tired and out of breath. After that we took the sacrament to sister Sue and gran. Sister Sue's son and daughter-in-law were there. Really cool people, they are headed to China in a few days for the next 7 years to teach English! Then they are moving to Alaska right after that, what an adventurous life! As we were leaving, these 3 little rascals were in the parking lot playing with a camilion! Woah that little guy was so cool, got to hold him & everything. I will send some pics!
Following that, we went to sister Nkosi's & had a FANTASTIC lesson with her two kids, about the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It got a little emotional when we were discussing families in the beginning because of their situation, but the spirit was so strong. We were able to put them BOTH on baptismal date! I was like "hey guys if you pray and know this is true.. and you receive a yes.. will you be bapized?" and they said yes! it was awesome! We are so excited about that, it was powerful!!!
welp! I love you guys:) hope all is well in America!
