Thursday - May 18th, 2017
well today we went and ate dinner at our Branch Presidents house and he and is his brother are super cool! hahaha they were telling us some CRAZY things that happened on their Missions! haha his brother, Sizwe, was serving in Johannesburg when Elder Holland sent a bunch of the mission home. His mission Was CRAZYYYYY! some Kid died his Hair BLUE when AN APOSTLE WAS COMING, there was a missionary GANG called "the 12 apostates"and those guys died their Garments BLACK! yeah superrrr BADDD! Im glad I wasn't their when that was happening!
he told us this story of a kid in his mission; He got up to go to the Bathroom in the middle of the night and fell, and Knocked his head on the ground. his companion got up and broke down the door to the bathroom, saw him passed out on the ground in a pool of blood! so the he, and the other two elders in the four man boarding took him to the hospital and when he woke up he had lost his memory of not only the last few months but the LAST TWO YEARS OF HIS LIFE. He was asking them where his PROM DATE WAS!!!!!!?? so that was super crazy!! Later bits and pieces of it came back but he still didn't remember the first half of his mission and he had to go home because it was so Traumatic!
POOR GUY!
he also told us a bunch of stories about missionaries getting in fights! they had some super funny stories to tell! hahaha
Friday
well today was pretty much the same as every other day... we tracted for a few hours in the morning, met some new people... we went to visit our investigators in the afternoon... then had two dinner appointments!
im starting to like this area:) tomorrow we are gonna go into Durban and meet with elder Rasband! Im excited... and terrified! hahaha
Saturday
well I got to meet the guy! hes pretty darn cool! hahaha yeah he spoke to us and we learned stuff! successful day:) And I shook his hands... He said I have Big hands and I was flattered!
but I also got to see a TON of Missionaries so that was AWESOME:)) I got to see five people from the MTC and that was super nice:)) some of the guys are HUGGGGGGEEEEE!!! they've gained a lot of weight! Hahaha Apparently my Friend Elder maughne from the MTC has doubled in size. I saw a picture of him and he has indeed gained some weight! in the MTC he could dunk a basketball really easily withtwo hands but not the poor guy cant even see the ball when it hits the ground at his feet! ok ok ok that was pretty mean... I probably have a ton of karma on its way for me right now! hahaha
Sunday
well today was AWESOME! Elder Rasband came and spoke to 3 ZONES! Nearly 2,000 people showed up to listen to Him speak! it was super cool because I got to see People from Amanzimtoti:) I miss that place:) and, Hey, people remembered me! haha so that was nice!
Im still getting used to this area... its super confusing with lots of windy roads and the addresses here really suck so when you memorize someone address its really difficult.. for example, the Cele's live two roads down, past the Tuck shop, turn right when you pass the big rock and its thehouse with the brown Windows! Hahaha
now imagine how hard it is to get referrals and try to meet them at their house... yeah it sucks!
but I really enjoyed today:)
