This week has been crazy, but alright.

Monday we went and played soccer at NU 13 chapel. Afterwards we went to the Lubelwana's to watch Zizi open his mission call, pretty exciting. Khanyisile will be going to Joburg next week and Zizi to Durban in June. We're excited for them.

Tuesday we had MLC and it was good to discuss some of the stuff in the mission. Following we had a few appointments drop but overall the day was alright. 

Wednesday it rained quite a bit but we were still able to see quite a few people. 

Thursday I went to the doctors again to do some x-rays to find out what's causing the cough... they thought it might be TB but luckily it's not... I'm back on some pills to see if that'll help some more. We had some great appointments and a nice DA with Bro. T. He's the best. 

Friday we had a good district meeting and following, we had a few appointments. Saturday was nice because we did some tracting and found a few new people to teach. 

Sunday was good, mama Themba got interviewed and passed, so hopefully this Saturday we'll have her baptism. We finished the night with a good DA at mama George's house. 

All in all... decent week. Transfer news will come this saturday so we'll see what happens!

Until the next...

This week has been pretty nice,

Monday we started out by doing some emailing and then going to the chapel for my piano class and Elder Monoalibe's soccer squad. It was pretty nice. 

Tuesday we had a good correlation with the Stevensons to discuss the work in the wards. There's a lot of good that will come about based on the work that we have and the work coming. 

Wednesday was a great day and we were able to contact a few less actives that we haven't seen in a while. 

Thursday was really nice, we had interviews with President Lebethoa, it was really nice to talk to him. Mission has been hard lately but it was nice to talk. 

Friday was zone conference and President gave a really nice training, especially about working with members, which has been something we've been trying to work on. 

Saturday was a nice day, nothing out of the ordinary. Sunday was super nice in the morning although there was some confusion with the wards. We ended up having the two wards combined for the 3 hour block of church and then afterwards and a few technical difficulties later we were able to get conference up and running. It's really exciting to see what is happening in the church as we move forward into the future. Pres. Nelson is truly a prophet of god, no doubt about that. Sunday evening we got into a small fender bender which I'm trying to get over. All is well though. 

On to another week... time is sure moving, we're almost halfway done with April. 

Until the next

This week has been a lot of work and I finally got some medicine to help with my sickness.

We've really been trying to find some new investigators and strengthen those who were baptised. We're also trying to work closely with the members to help them get more missionary minded. 

We also had a great meeting with the stake president to discuss how the work is going in Mdantsane. 

The highlights were definitely General Conference. Saturday evening we watched the Saturday morning session live. Wow it was powerful, Sunday we got to watch the Saturday Afternoon, Priesthood, and Sunday Morning Session. The priesthood session was by far the most powerful conference I've ever been at. Pres. Nelson is really moving the work and expanding the church. I can't wait to watch the final session this coming Sunday.

 

Well, another busy week with zone conference coming up.
