well LeSueur Is leaving:( So today we said goodbye to all of his favorite members! we had dinner at Phindy's house and it was pretty emotional! Im really gonna miss this guy, he was a great trainer!

Wednesday

well I got My new companion and said goodbye to elder Lesueur:( Man this transfers gonna be tough:/ I feel like schraedel and I have nothing in common... LeSueur and I got along so great! we could talk for hours, teach like crazy, and HAVE FUN doing it! but this guy and I dont click like LeSueur and I did:/ 

But its still day one so I guess we'll see what happens tomorrow! keep me in your prayers, guys:)

love you, wish I was there!

Thursday

I swear I saw Marshawn Lynch at the groceries store today. Im not even kidding it looked JUST. LIKE. HIM.

We made EYE CONTACT. it was pretty darn exciting.... if it was him at least.. do you think Lynch would come to south africa? he was wearing a Rasta beanie hat and he had dreads and the same face and all soooo.... maybe monday Ill stalk him on twitter or something and see if hes posed about being in africa.

IM TICKED OFF THOUGH. i should have given him a pamphlet. we went tracting today with my new companion! he looovvveeeesssss tracting but when he gets to the door he never really talk to them? he kinda freezes and stares at them and doesn't blink... I think were gonna work on that while were together.. haha so today I did most of the talking.. when I was with elder Lesueur he was pretty intimidating so I was always nervous to talk to people haha.. i didn't wanna say something stupid and look like a dork! haha but with this guy it seems like it was a lot easier! so even after talking to alllll those people I froze at the most important point in my life.I froze when  I had the opportunity to talk to Marshaun Lynch or at least a guy that looks a lot like him! haha

sleep tight! love you! 

Friday!

well today was veryyyyy interesting. so we met a guy named Moshauniesoahjofwfoiw i dont know exactly what it was but he said we could call him Shaun.. and Shaun is a preacher, he doesn't belong to a church but he goes around and teaches the gospel. He invited us to attend his church Friday at 9:00am.. we said sure we dont have any plans why not? so we went... So friday morning comes along and were expecting to go to a small church, sit with the congregation, listen to the speaker for an hour, shake his hand invite him to church, go on about our day..... so we call and ask where to meat up and he tells us to go to the University in Kwamakhuta.... hmmm ok so they worship at the College cool thats normal here I guess.. well we see him in the parking lot and he took us to the cafeteria and showed us to our seats. He sat us Right Next to the pulpit looking out on the congregation which was FOUR HUNDRED UNIVERSITY STUDENTSand today was their Orientation day...... (MIND BLOWN!) so he tells everyone a story then point to the two of us and says "LISTEN EVERYBODY, THESE MEN HERE ARE MISSIONARIES FOR THEIR CHURCH. IF YOU SEE THEM TEACHING I WANT YOU TO GO TO THEM, TAKE THEM INTO YOUR HOMES, READ THEIR PAMPHLETS, AND LISTEN TO THEIR MESSAGE." 

SUPER COOL GUY RIGHT!!!!!

then i spoke to the FOUR HUNDRED COLLEGE FRESHMEN. I told them Im American, a missionary and our purpose, and that we teach about Jesus Christ! terrifying! scariest moment of my life. I didn't Talk long, Maybe 5 minutes! hahaha we were the only white people there too! Hahaha 

then after the service we gave out every. single. pass along card and pamphlet that I had in my bag. IM never gonna forget today. it was pretty awesome! hahaha I just wish we had a church in KwaMakutha because thats the main problem when teaching there:(

But Im loving mission so far! learning a lot and trying my best:)

Sunday 

well good news!!! My favorite Investigator Mary Jane Nkosi agreed to baptism!!!! Im super excited for her:) when we first met her she almost cried when I asked her how her week has been.. shes studying right now and shes really stressed out.. but we gave her a blessing, Invited her to church and now she Just CAN'T STOP SMILING!!!!!!!!!!!! It makes me really happy:)) so were hoping to do it on March 5th:) and I think well have two or three! maybe even a fourth! I'm super excited, Lesueur and I worked hard andits starting to pay off:) haha

this New guy, Elder Schraedel, is a lot different... we both see things a lot differently.. he LOVES to tract and I dont mind tracting but with this guy never speaks... hes super quiet and it gets pretty frustrating:/ I give him time to add something in to the lessons but he doesn't add much to the lesson, so I end up doing most of the teaching. So its exact opposite of elder LeSueur, But on the bright side Its getting wayyyyyyy easier to teach people and open my mouth to talk to people! haha so I guess you get each companion for a reason:) 

oh but one of our investigators past out in church!!!! The AC broke and it got sooooooooo hot! its the hottest month of the year so we really need the AC! She got a ride to the Reise's house and I think shes doing a lot better:)

But, man this girl asks GOOOOOOODDDDDD questions! so thats super scary! haha shes studying to be a doctor! shes been to church three times now:) shes super cool and super smart!:) 

well that was my week! I love you guys!!!!!!!`
