Oh by the way.. Im going to be leaving Wednesday morning and going to Kwamashu where Ill be serving for the next couple months:) Whats super nice is that Im still in the same Zone and Elder Schraedel is now One of the Zone leaders! Which means Ill probably getta come back to Toti in a few weeks for exchanges:)
today was so nice:) a Young boy named Siseku Phungula, hes like 9. He is the SMARTEST Kid I have EVER met in my entire life!!! Like he knows everything about the Restoration... Literally EVERYTHING!!! And he wants to be baptized Sooooo bad! but his dad wouldn't let him.. weve been teaching the both of them and been praying for them sooo much! Luckily Wednesday morning he woke up and he said it just feels right now! he used to think he was too young for it but now hes a solid Two thumbs up!!!

Tuesday (last day in Toti)
just went and visited Martell(Powerful Man) We put his on Bdate for May 28th. That'll be a Powerful Sunday:)))
Wednesday (1st day in my new area)
well Kwamashu is super sketchy and Ottley is super cool! He's a cowboy from Idaho! Love the guy so far:) its a TWO man boarding so its, obviously, Just the two of us!
this area is a lot different... The people here seem very nice and there's a lot of stuff for us to do! Its definitely not the same:/ However, Im excited to go to church and see our Branch:) Ive already met some people here that I already known from my last area. the first house I went to I told them my name was elder Merritt and they said they already knew that, that they were in Toti just two weeks ago and that I baptized their Grand daughter, elihle.. So thats pretty cool, I havent gone very far though.... Honestly, I wanted to go out far away from Durban, somewhere super cold. Were going into winter right Now and Im sick and Tired of the heat! However, Elder Ottely seems to think that I'll be here for another six months... not sure what to think of that...
Saturday
well this week has gone by SUPER FAST! Ottley and I are pretty put together so its super nice! I havent really even been stressed this week, besides moving and having to learn a new area. But We just go from appointment to appointment and just go with the flow:) Hes super strict, But its the good kind! and the best part is that were even more busy than I was in TOTI! were doing a lot more Finding new people to teach!! The Kwamashu Branch has just been split so that means they take the entire area, cut it in half and they get two new missionaries there! we Got the wrong side:/ the other guys took most of our investigators but thats fine... we'll find some new guys!
OH and if you guys watch the movie "meet the Mormons" you know the one that was in the theatres last year... one of the missionaries that they follow is Elder Armstrong he served here in Kwamashu! so if you wanna get a little better look at where Im serving you guys can watch it:) I havent seen it though... Ottley just told me...
Sunday (Stake conference)
well we had church today in Downtown Durban.. we had stake conference today.. I gotta see a lot of people from Toti so that was nice:) then we went to a few appointments and had THREE Dinners! this place is gonna give me heart disease! Im excited for it:)
hahaha I hope all is well in America. Enjoy your freedom and God Bless America!
