Sunday May 28th
well another day another dollar... Elder Knight said when were all home from mission studying at BYUI Elder Ottley and I are invited to bear lake with Grandpa Q... His grandpa Is Quentin L. Cook.. you know.. the Apostle.. did I tell you guys that Yet? Well that'll be a lot of fun:)
who came to speak to you guys last week?
Oh and Elder Ottley and I have been tearing our house apart trying to find my Wallet... Mom could you check my account and possibly cancel my card.. we aren't finding it anywhere and I dont want some guy in africa goin out and buying himself so much alcohol that he drinks himself to death! haha
Please pray that I find that!
Oh and today at church They had me Finally introduce myself, I talked a lot about you guys:) but so far so good:) Im loving Kwamashu:))
I was sooo excited when Zamo came to church with her daughter:) it was super cool:)) she is one of the smartest and most sincerely interested people Ive met while tracting! she was only able to stay for the 1st hour and a half of church but were gonna go see her again this week and she seemed to really enjoy it and said she'd be back next week for sure:) and her daughter is 9 and absolutely adorable:)
sadly niether monde or N.K. showed up for church, theyre both less actives but weve been visiting with them and reading the Book of Mormon with them for the last 4 weeks... they said they were gonna be here today:(
after church we went to the Bhutelazies house for some Super good food:) sister B's son, We call him "China", is preparing for his mission so we answered his question and shared a message about not only preparing for a MISSION, but preparing for the temple and the Melchezidek Priesthood:)
Im gonna try and start tellin you guys more about the people here so you'll be happier to see them In their Whites one of these sundays:)
I love you guys!
Monday may 29th
Solid day.... went to get the car fixed in Durban.. walked down th Boardwalk by the beach:) then we got picked up by Elder Wood, one of the senior couples so we could come help clean out the mission garage. In exchange for Breakfast and a crockpot! hahaha
then we got our car, went to the chapel, emailed, played catch, went home and got cleaned up, then went to teach Brother and Sister Jones.. hahaha they're an older couple that weve been teaching:) I think this was our 3rd visit:)
on our way home the road was blocked off by a bunch of cops with Big ol' Machine Guns... Apparently people were Rioting again.. Burning Tires, breaking stuff, stealing stuff... not fun stuff... so we turned around and went the back roads..
Tuesday May 30th
well we were out working and having a pretty good day when The AP's called and told us we have to cut our Day short at 5:00p because theres more riots and they dont want us to get into any of that stuff:/
so apparently theres this thing called "Xenophobia" going on... That's why people are going crazy right now. people have been kidnapping foreigners (My companion and I are good cause we look like Afrikaners, But elder Isoba definitely looks like he is cause hes super Dark)... so tomorrow we just need to be smart and follow the spirit.
... oh, and still no Luck Finding My wallet:/
However, on the Bright side, because we had to cancel our Dinner Appointments, Ande (the guy you guys met when we skyped) brought us some food because we couldn't leave! Great guy, Good day:)
Wednesday 31st
well we had to come back at 4:30 this time today:/ darn Africans are crazy outside. Burning and stealing stuff!
Friday
well things have all calmed down people here just go crazy when they hear stuff... everyone's fine.. a few shops were broken into, and a few burned down... not too bad.. could've been worse!
Saturday
Today was soooo much fun!!!!! we got to go to the Elementary school and taught kids how to read! it was a lot of fun! My group was the best though! we played games and had a lot of fun! hahahaha I'm excited to go back next week!
Sunday
on our way to church I saw a white guy so that was nice:)
but hey, life is great! this aea is really picking up and were finding plenty of people to teach now, so thats nice. I love you guys and I miss you! enjoy your week! keep me updated:)
