February 27, 2017

Hello Everyone!!!

6 months is by and gone, time flies..... fast!

To be short on the transfer news we got, 

Elder Milne and Myself will be staying for another harvest together in KwaMagxaki! Wohoo. Which means I have finished training him as a father, and now I get to be his mother too as a follow up trainer!!

This week has been quite interesting, and fun haha.
Sorry for the lack of pics, I'm waiting to get them from Elders De Beer and Gordon.

Monday we started out by going Paintballing with Elder De Beer (the now former AP who was replaced by our now former ZL Elder Gordon) who was on exchanges from Cape Town. That was my first time paintballing -- super scary, but super fun. It was a fun time shared by our zone. 

Afterwards our district went to the brand new and only Burger King in PE, one of the reasons being it's the only restaurant with a fountain machine for drinks which is awesome! We ended up cutting our crown and putting it on our Donald Trump poster haha. 

Tuesday was a very interesting day. And please do not worry, everything has been taken care of and all the missionaries are safe and doing well.

But one of the Elders, Elder Lane that stays with us and serves in the area next to us, Zwide, was stabbed in the back. It was quite a shock when we got the call. Luckily it was in an area that didn't damage any major organs and he was stitched up and back to us that night. We gave him a blessing and luckily he has healed very well and very fast and has actually been working with his companion with us on splits since their area is closed for a short time. 

Aside, everything is well and we are all safe and sound, just keep him in your prayers for a continued speedy and successful recovery.

The rest of the week has been splits and we've been keeping busy with our area trying to get more investigators since we baptized so many. 

Sunday was an awesome day as we were to confirm everyone except Khanyiso, but we'll get him the Sunday after stake conference. It's an amazing experience to confirm them and one of the girls I had the distinct impression to bless her with the desire to serve a full time mission should her life lead that course. The gospel is amazing. 

Well all is well from the St. George boys and more pictures will come as I get them. Pray that we'll be able to find a father headed family, more investigators, and for a continued recovery for Elder Lane. 

Thanks for all the support and until next week!
