Well We went on the hike today and my legs are DEAD! I sent you guys some pics, But I had a lot of fun:)
then we got some Groceries, took a little nap, Had an intense game of UNO with the District, Then went and balled it up with the boyz in the hood! and yes. I dunked it. and Yes Takau and I and WRECKED them in the paint. things got pretty intense out there on the court... but it was super nice cause it was a nice game, no cheap shots, no trash talks, nobody got mad at the other team.. we just had fun and had a nice competitive game of basketball:) haha Elder "MONEY" Abel Is a Menace at the three point line! I decided to Legally change his name to AB3L. That is how I will refer to him from now on! And Elder Lucas- Rafael just broke ankles for DAYYYSS! hahaha Together team QWA QWA could not be Containnneedddd!! final score 33-13 White team (Thats us... cause we were, you know, white)...
now to finish our first Pday together were gonna watch the Best 2 years:)
Wednesday September 13th
well today Elder Ab3l and I tracted into a family and taught them lesson One... it was I guess your average lesson, but at the end we had them pray and It was so funny.. Elder Ab3l got to hear someone speak in "Tongues" for the first time... they started yelling "OH JESUS THANK YOU FOR YOUR BLOOD THAT SAVES US! THANK YOU FOR ASSA BUUNA LOOFI JEE BOO FA TOO ZEE MA LEMMA JESUS I LOVE YOU BOOFA LOOFA DOOFA DOO MAFI LAFI MEY...." Etc! ANd I opened my eyes just a bit and the Elder Abels face was just Perfect! I wish I had a picture of it! hahaha then what made it even better was when we got in the car he asked Katleho, a member from church that comes with us all the time, what they were saying.. and Katleho basically told him that that wasn't sesotho! Or any other language just Gibberish! Or maybe we just havent been gifted with the interpretation of tongues! hahaha
so that was the highlight of the day:) OH and we got Fed tonight! SCORE! we went to a super nice family, the Mabula family:) and I made a new friend! her name carol and shes awesome! haha Shes only 10 but were best friends now! we even made a secret handshake and she drew me a picture... So I guess you can say things are getting pretty serious! haha
Also, Elder DePriest and L-R swopped for the day. DePriest is a Super nice guy! haha and Takau, DePriest, and I all know the Ukulele So we had an Intense jam session! :)
Thursday September 14th
well Today we found some really cool people to teach:) The teaching pool we had last week was pretty small so Ab3l and I have been doing a lot of finding lately.. hmmm.. oh and Im going to Bethlehem tomorrow with Elder Jantjies, We were in the MTC Together so It'll be cool teaching with him tomorrow:)
Also Great news! OUR WATER IS BACK ON!!! yeah that was the highlight of the day...I had to say goodbye to My Sprite bottle.. movin' on to bigger and better things! haha
but I was just getting it down to a science, what id do is I'd put a half a liter of Water in the... the water Kettle boiler thingy.. I dont know what to call it.. but Id do that for 4 minutes then id add the rest of the water to that and it was perfect! I was so excited when I started to use that.. until I realized how pathetic I probably looked... so yeah..
Friday September 15th
Well I spent the Day in Bethlehem with Elder Jantjies... It was your Average day... But I got to teach a guy with only one Eye... so that was cool... well He had an eyeball but it was a super hazy, foggy, Im gonna be honest it was kinda creepy) Lets put it this way.. an Airplane would not land in his eye.. it would have to circle it until things cleared up... Either way, he told me all about what happened. Nice guy. he was super drunk and only spoke sesotho. but, nonetheless, he was super nice:)
Im gonna be honest we met a lot of new people and had some really powerful lessons:) Jantjies is a Great teacher, Hopefully I can apply some of the things he used to my teaching:)
Saturday
Well today we Met a really nice family! and tomorrow is the daughters 11th Birthday so I told her I'd bring her a candy bar to church.. You know to give her a bit of an Incentive.. But I think It was quite possibly the worst decision... this is truely a test of my self control. I dont think I'll be able to make it all night... Its right here in front of me, calling me by name.
Its gonna be a long night.
part of me hopes she doesnt come to church so I get to eat this............. I'm a terrible person.
Sunday September 18th, 2017
Today was niccceee:) It was super cold too! maybe thats why I liked it! I'm sick and tired of the darn heat here... I like wearing sweaters! haha
But church went well, we had a few new people show up for the first time! But usually when its cold people don't want to come to church... they'd rather stay in their warm bed.... I don't blame them.. especially if they have to walk haha
But we actually had a few MORE people come to church than we did last week! so that was nice:)
Elder Abel, brother Katleho, and I were knocking doors and we met a 14 year old girl, Relabahile,and she really liked our message of the restoration. and when she went to school she talked to her Friend Jennifer about us. Whats super cool is that Jennifer is actually a less active member and they BOTH came to church today:) It was super cool! they seem really nice and Promising!
Well it was a good week:) I hope you guys are all doing super awesome! I LOVE YOU!!
