Another week has passed. Here on moment and gone the next.
On my side the week was pretty slow. A normal mission week in George. On Friday
we drove to Knysna, the closest two missionaries. The rest of my
district, an hour away. Life is kind of nice here in exile. A chance to
just buckle down and focus. A good chance to prove myself to myself.
Other then that the week has been pretty slow. Pretty simple. Nothing
too major. Next week will be the same. We will take to 4 hour drive
again, to have zone conference in PE. That should be fun. Road trip :)
Dad,
covenants are pretty neat, they bind us closer to Heavenly Father, and
they put us right next to Christ. Giving us the strength to do good. To
become better. They refine us and mold us and make us. The gospel is the best life insurance, it gives us the greatest peace in this life, a peace that
comforts us through whatever might happen.
Sounds
like a lot is going on over there. Thanks for your words of support and love.
I
have truly enjoyed learning more about and watching the Atonement at
work. Seeing people change through Christ. Seeing my own change is a
little harder, but i can see some of the growth. Mission has been quite
to experience this far. I can't wait to see what else will happen.
I love you Dad!
Mom, that is a funny meme. Mission will do that to you every now and again. It just wipes you out.
But yeah Sundays are nice. Sundays are our busiest days. Sounds
like you had a great week.
That cool about Nathan. I have a friend
from Motherwell serving in Uganda. Elder Beja. Nathan is going to Africa
Africa. Not south African tameness. Elder Beja this last week had a
baptism planned and they had to cancel it because there was no water.
His whole village had been without water for a week. Nathan is going to
have a great African Mission adventure. He will love it.
But the Ultimate Gift is a great movie, probably one of my favorites.
With
a mission branch there is not much more that i have to do. We just help
out where we can. Which is nice. President wants us to strengthen the
unit. Build the members, reactivate and such. So we focus on that, but
we do have a couple of cool investigators. As well of some young
investigator of people's kids. People who are making their way back and
their kids are older than 8. So there is plenty to do. A nice small
branch. About 60 people at church. Not too bad. It is just a mission
branch because it is too far from a stake. So the mission supports it.
But
the area is nice a pretty. Nice people and everything. I will get some
pictures soon. The weather is slowly getting hotter. Just slowly leaving
behind the cold. But it isn't too bad right now. Today is a beautiful
day. Nice warm breeze with a little cold. Just right.
Mom, thanks for everything. I love you mom!!!
Bryant,
love you too. I can't wait to share stories either. Someday soon. But
it looks like we are on different side of the world yet having a similar
time on mission. I hope you enjoy your branch with Elder George. It is
pretty cool being in a small unit huh? I have been able to understand
more how everything work in the church. Pretty cool to see more behind
the scenes. Love you Brother
Meagan, i met a
sisi (sister) the other day with your name. Even spelled the same way.
Then she tried to convince us that it is pronounce meegan. Some people. I
couldn't help but smile.
But it looks like you are keeping
busy. Working hard, playing hard at school. That is great. Just keep
swimming. Love you Meegan :)
Jera, love you too!!
Well
sorry it is not jam packed with stories and jokes. But just another
note. Last Saturday we got home and had no power. It wasn't load
shedding or that we were out of units. But 🇿🇦 
we just had no power. Slept without. Showered and got ready on Sunday
without. Nothing for the whole. Day we tried getting a hold of the
landlord, nothing from him. The senior couples didn't know what to do.
Then our last visit yesterday was with a member family. We just
mentioned to him. He took us to the electricity dept. Got a phone
number. They came to the flat. Literally just flipped a switch and we
had power again. There was a power box outside and something had just
switched ours off. Small and simple things cause some great problems :)
well i hope you enjoy your week. Love you all lots!
