but \I love you all and \'ll email you next week.... and then only one more after that! :)
SO CLOSE!
Monday 8th - Sunday 14th
Well last week all of my stuff was deleted so that was a shame.. but either way I'll give you a quick summary.
General conference was AMAZING and Holland had too much Swag with those glasses. We've still been doing a lot of finding and teaching but where we work there's a High school and all the kids are in awe at the fact that a White kid is walking around the Township. they keep Yelling LEHOA, which means "White man". the other day I swear all of the community was chanting in sync "LE-HOO-AHH LE-HOO-AH LE-HOO-AH" as we were walking in to an appointment. Even when we were in the house teaching we could all still hear everyone yelling! I couldn't stop laughing! Sotho's are crazy!
However, last week we bought a Skhambani in the same area and while we were walking to the car the high schoolers all came back. It was a huge group of girls, so right away I was uncomfortable. but it gets WORSE. there was a gay kid in the midst of them and he stepped forward and started blowing kisses and sayin all this sotho stuff that I don't understand. Elder Zimunhu was laughing but I wanted to run. we stayed calm and continued to eat our skhambani's and ignored them... I thought they'd lose interest if I gave them zero recognition but they DIDN'T. This pack of girls and their gay captain followed me all the way to the car. 15 minutes of that awkwardness floated around us both. worst experience of my life.
Monday October 15th
well... today sucked. we got locked out of the boarding because I went to the car. I assumed Zim would grab the Keys and he thought I grabbed them so he locked us out. Shame.
so when we wanted to leave the Complex we didn't have the clicker... so we talked to the neighbours and they let us out... then the senior couples suggested we get a locksmith. so we went in to town and found a guy who knew a guy. we called the guy he knew and he said he'd be to our place at 1:00 15 minutes from the time we called him). so we hurried home and started to wait for him. luckily elder Nu'usa let me borrow his football so that kept Zim and I busy for a while... 1:00 went by.. then 1:30, 2:00, 2:30... so I called him again. He said to give him just 30 minutes and he'd be there. 3:00 went by, 3:30, 3:45, so I called him a thousand more times and he didn't answer. so we drove to an email shop and googled a better locksmith than this guy. we called the other locksmith and they were to our house in just 20 minutes!!! he was cool, opened right up and we were good to go!
but by then our day was basically finished...
Tuesday October 16th
today was nice, we had a few appointments. then we needed to drive Elder Macapella and Walker to Bethlehem because we have zone conference tomorrow and interviews with President tonight.
when we arrived at their boarding, we saw Elder Macapella standing there on the inside of the electric gate ith his hands in his pockets. so we yelled "open up". then he shrugged his arms and said "my companion has the gate key"
"Then go get him!!"
"He went to the store.." he responded, ".. to get medicine"
Powerful. elder Zimunhu slapped is forehead. that pretty much sums up their entire time being together this transfer... poor guys.
but we waited for walker to get back, I gave Macapella a muffin and took a few deep breaths. but it was all good.
we had a two hour car ride of listening to elder Macapella and Zimunhu talk about racism and I learned that elder Zimunhu does not like it when people have different opinions than him... plus he's super racist. Luckily I stayed out of it.
When we got to Bethlehem I mostly hung out wit Nu'usa and hyer. they are both amazing and we're good friends! then My interviews with President were pretty funny! haha he's a cool guy!
Wednesday (Final Zone Conference) October 17th
well Zone conference was really good! I was the last speaker and I gave a lesson about Adversity. Yo. It was a tough topic to speak about, just because it was super emotional. I didn't prepare too much.. My otes read "Bear testimony, James 3, don't cry"
but I cried so much. I'm not gonna Lie, it was the best talk I have personally given. that's not saying too much, I'm not too good at public speaking but still! I was happy. and sister Thompson gave me some really good complements:) she was crying too, which made me cry even more! dang it!
After Zone conference we played a quick game of football then I drove the PJ missionaries Home! so I stopped by and said goodbye to President Moeta and Lesego's family! I would've said by to more but time was short!
then we drove alllll the way home. It was just Zim, me and Ntaka. tomorrows our exchange with the AP's.
we almost died when a semi tried to pass another semi in front of us, but I've played Grand theft auto and Avoided it. all is well in Zion.
Thursday - Exchanges with Ntaka - October 18th
well well well. today was a typical day of teaching frustrating Jw's and pastors that want to bash. we found a HUGE marijuana plant in someone front yard and Ntaka ad I did the 2 liter Ice Cream challenge... we also both failed.
good day.
Saturday October 20th
well today was actually pretty good until a guy named Cosmo ticked me off! haha
we helped clean the chapel, then got distracted with a soccer ball that we found, then we went to a elder quorum activity/Braai it was dope. tons of meat.
that's where I met Cosmo, he used to be a powerful active member but now he says he doesn't believe in God. That's about when he starter talking nonsense and when I wanted to leave. but I'm happy he came
Sunday October 21st
well today Brother Beldin asked me to say goodbye to the Branch because Next week I won't be able to because it's the Primary Presentation. So I did:)
also, Tsepho (Babe's) Chaka is going to be out of town this week so I had to say Goodbye to him after church, we took some pictures and he Signed my journal. also he gave me a Super Nice Sweater That I saw him wearing a few weeks ago and complimented him on!!! He's super cool! I'm gonna miss his place!
One more week.
