August 13, 2018

This week has been a lot of wrapping up. 

Monday we went on a self tour of the Albany Museum and ran a few errands. 
Tuesday was a normal day, but wednesday I went to PE for exchanges with Elder Warren. Wow we had a good time. Worked hard and had fun. Found some good people to teach too. It's good to have him in the zone. Thursday we had interviews with President Lebethoa and then I went on splits with Elder Shaw in Cleary. We were able to do some nice tracting that side to try and find some people. That night we all went and got really nice ribs.

Friday was the highlight, it was my last zone conference........ crazy. The training was really nice. I also got to meet another Elder from St. George who just came in. He was good friends with Marshall. I had to bear my testimony........ that was sad.... I remember my first zone conference seeing people do that and I thought it was so far away. 

Saturday we had a nice dinner appointment with Brother Alan and his friend Matthew. Sunday was my last in South Africa, it's crazy. 

Well mission has been the best and the hardest two years. I've learned a lot but i think more than converting those we teach we end up converting ourselves as missionaries. The reward is worth it. Can't wait to see you all soon! South Africa, ndiyakuthanda kakhulu. 

Elder Smith out.......

August 6, 2018

Elder Mofokeng and I have been trying to work hard this past week in spite that we both may be leaving Grahamstown..... it is yet to be told.....

This past week we almost finished the ward list (updating and checking records and people's information) It's taken a while but it's good to have it almost done, we'll be able to give that to the branch to have.  

This week started out with our last tour with Brother Alan and then a second to finial DA during the week. He came and bore his testimony on Sunday which was great.

This week I got a haircut too, shorter than normal but I kind of like it. Feels good. 

Mission has had a lot of ups and downs but I'm looking forward to this coming week... zone conference, interviews, and exchanges. A lot of good stuff in store. Can't wait to see you all soon!

until the Next...... and last
