hey y'all

sorry this is coming late transfers happened on Monday so today is emailing. based on that you could probably guess i was transferred i am now back in Durban here to Finish my mission i am in an area called Queensburgh an area that has been closed for 4-5 years and the attendance is 30 with 100+ members registered so that is my assignment i am working with members in re activation. should be fun my new comps are as follows:

Elder Huff: my group from Pocatello Idaho skier in my group leaving in 2 weeks

Elder Lopez-Peliaz my group from Oregon idk exactly leaving with me 3-4 weeks

Elder Tracy: not from my group from Utah leaving in over a year

so this should be interesting here we are last stretch gotta pound it hard i feel bad for the younger guy he is going to "kill" all three of us and then inherit a white washed area (freshly opened). should be fun.

well i don't know what else to say so i will say stay safe and remember who you are!!!

hi guys

well turns out that i aint going to die in stanger i am getting transfered... and before anyone gets worked up that is mission language   -birthed=coming to the mission   death=going home-  but yea i am going back to bloemfontein... but now exactly i am going to bloemanda outside of bloemfontein but yea. it is sad because we finally scheduled a 30 min trip over to the outskirts of our area to go and see a person who was reffered to us by someone in johannesburg and he was powerfull he already knew most of the stuff because they had given him the books and he read them all but yea so he is now on a date for the end of april but sad i wont be here. and here is a little shoutout to sister williams. anyway confrence was great and hopefully all yall have a good easter love you all stay well.

walking and walking

so this week was interesting a lot of walking we walked to a members house that we normally take a taxi because we where working with a pair of member boys that wanted to walk so we trackted on the way and yea we walked and walked then we walked back down then the next day we walked with the same member boys out to the members house from last week and she wasnt there so we walked back then we walked out again the next day because she was there so we cleaned some  bricks old style hammer and chisel i feel for the people that hand carved the bricks that whent into the salt lake temple cause we got through 15 bricks in like 3 or 4 hours and yes they where small bricks like the standard brick size from back home then we walked back home and yea it was hard but hey i lost weight so +++++ it made me feel good i was tired though we got home and i passed out  yep that was my week in a nutshell love you all stay safe and remember God is good all the time, and all the time God is good... peace out

hey

well this week kinda whent by way to fast... it started with a surprise trip to durban to attend their zone confrence instead of ours. so that was our tuesday kinda washed away then on Wednesday we whent to help a lady with her yard you know service type stuff picking grass leaving weeds you know not all that complicated then i saw in the corner of the yard a wall that was down and asked about it she told me that there was a tree next to the wall that cracked it so they took it down before it could fall on anybody... i said well what do plan to do she said that they will rebuild it so i whent out to take a look and most of the bricks looked salvagable so that was the rest of the day picking up bricks and stacking them for another time when we will go back with a hammer and chisel to chip off the moarter so they can re use the bricks. thursday was simple we trackted most of the day. then friday was exciting we where walking up to see a member who we where supposed to see on tuesday but rescheduled to friday and as we where walking up her hill i saw a guy walking with a tv on his head. now this wasnt a small tv it was a large flatscreen and something didnt seem right then i heard an alarm and the guy took off running about 2 min later the security came and we told him which way the guy whent and he loaded his gun and took off after him it was intense soo cool... sat was a normal day sadly i was hoping for something cool and sunday was interesting we had 3 people show up that i didnt know i thought that they where investigators but it turned out that they where just memebers from around that had just gone less active in the branch so that was exciting well till next week..........

this is weird

things have been weird this week i dont know how to put it but it was just strange. but my week other than that was great i saw that investigator that i ran into a coupple of weeks ago the one that moved back here and we where able to teach him he is incredible and loves the idea of missionary work and asked us how it worked and he said that some day he hopes to have the same opportunity best of luck to him. well not too much happened this week. nothing exciting like getting handed lunch for free or anything so yea not too much happened but we will see how the week goes love you all in your own special ways stay safe and stay out of trouble...
