well today we went into Durban and visited the doctors office... elder Ruben has Mumps... Elder Vaughn has a ingrown toenail... and elder Schraedel has an Eye infection... so they all got their medicine and should be good to go!

Tuesday

Well Elder Vaughn and Ruben are good but Elder Schraedel is allergic to his medication... so  he has hives.... were gonna go alllll the way back into Durban to see the doctor again tomorrow..:/ poor guy.

still teaching, finding, teaching some more, and doing service projects all. the. time.

Wednesday

well we had a Zone Training Meeting today so we got to hang out with all of our zone again:) 

we went to Durban for Schraedel. he should be good to go now!  hahaha

then later tonight we ate TWO dinner appointments! brother and sister Greig invited us over for dinner to calibrate her finally being confirmed a member of the church after SEVEN YEARS of investigating, multiple sets of missionaries and hundreds of lessons. Then after that we went to the Cebekhulu's for our weekly dinner appointment. the feed us SOOOO much food. I think these people are making me fat.

.....but I Love Them.

Thursday-Saturday

Lots of hard work, soccer, and heat.

Sunday

well our ward áttempted'to watch General Conference... but when people showed up the wifi couldn't keep up and we couldn't watch it. so the bishop told everyone to go home...... not a lot of people were not too happy about that.... but I guess they're gonna do it next week instead after they predownload it.. 

but later that night we went to the reises and watched the final part of General Conference:) and they fed us...... but their food didn't sit well with elder Schraedel. he started puking in their house.... then we left. and he threw up multiple times in the car... and about five more times that night. 

he was a mess.
