Wohoo another week down!
This week has been great but just a lot of hard work.
The week started out awesome by a trip to Kragga Kamma game park! It's a gigantic reserve with TONS of African animals (unfortunately no lions or elephants but those are at another we are thinking of going to!) It's amazing to see these animals in the "wild" and not in a zoo setting, and they are WAY big when you drive close enough to them you could touch them. It's amazing to see all of God's creations and it makes me appreciate all of them even more. Africa is something special and God put some of the most amazing creations here.
Our work like aforementioned was just a lot of work, visiting investigators, recent converts, and less actives. We're working with several (upwards of 20) progress towards their baptismal dates so it'll be awesome to see them achieve that in the future!
I was on exchanges with Elder Gordon (my Zone Leader) and he's an English South African (South African peoples - Natives, like Xhosas, Zulus, etc, Whites, like English, Afrikaners, and Asians like Indians and Chinese.) He's a wonderful elder and I learned so much from him. He's a convert to the church and has a wonderful conversion story. I hope I can become like him on mission.
The best part of the week was Sunday- giving Phillip the Gift of the Holy Ghost and also ordaining him to the office of Priest in the Aaronic Priesthood! He's a wonderful recent convert and it'll be wonderful to see what he does with his life in the church now.
Elder Milne and myself are still working hard and tearing up KwaMagxaki. St. George boys for the win!
Until Next Week!
Elder Smith
