My Companion Says That He Thinks We Are Doing Something Wrong

soo here is my week so far yesterday came out from an apointment  and i managed to burry the baki tire about 8 inches in the mud that sucked the day before i high centered it and we spent about 2 hours digging it out. and that same day the other elders got stuck twice. my companion says that Hevenly Father is trying to teach us something and unless we figure it out we are going to keep getting stuck.

on a more serious note we spent all day saturday picking beans yes dad like the ones that you love to make in the pressure cooker they taste better fresh though... and the member taught us that we shouldent tell The Lord how great our problem is but we should tell the problem how great the lord is. which didnt make sence when i was agitated and mad about how stuck i got the truck and i was mad but now that i look at it it is a great experience the road of life is hard it always will be and when we get stuck a guy came with a pair of yoked oxen and hooked them up and yanked it out like it was nothing but only when the two oxen worked together at the begining one of them didnt want to work and nothing happened but when they worked together it was a brease for them

just to tell you how stuck that baki or truck was we had spent 2 hours trying to pull it out with another baki and no we did not losten it up so moral of the story if we yoke ourselves with christ we can do anything but we have to pull with him otherwise nothing happens..

well that is all i have time for this week but untill next week i love and miss you all stay well and saligahle or in sutu salihanhle.

What's Up My Homies

hey guys life has been hectic. i will start with the weather rain rain and well it is sunny it is predicted that we will have....more rain. although apparently we should have some snow soon and i feel it coming it is getting COLD like i woke up shivering last night it sucked.

the positive has been that my new companion and i are getting along great both him and i are althletic nuts we love anything outdoors and we both like country music. which he has some cool mision appropriate country songs. we get some pretty funny looks from the african people of lesotho when we drive around with a banjo playing in the background. although some of the peace core recognise us as american due to that and we are teaching one now. it is kinda weird teaching an american outside of america.

and yea we had an incredible experince of a baptism of a young woman named hlompo good luck trying to pronounce that one mom if you want me to pronounce it for you you will just have to remember that for mothers day.. which is at the end of this transfer i am soo excited.. the only thing that i am not excited is the drive to blomefontain for zone confrence we have to get our flu shots and the drive is about 5 hours so we have to get up at like 4 so wish me luck. well till next week
