Elder Whiting,

Sorry Guys

i apologize to anyone that i might have given a heart attack to these padst weeks when you dont recive an email from me but the internet here has sucked recently so we shall see how this goes. firstly an update photos yay there will be photos of snow that we found pictures of the call opening for the first missioary in my branch and others we shall see what i can do.secondly i found my pourpose i think i havve had an off fealing recently  like something was wrong until an appointment that i had just 3 days ago  we walked into an appoingment and i thought that it was going to suck. his brother had told us that he was a "scientist" and that he didnt do the religion thing but later on iin the lesso i found that the reason for this was he hadnt found thae right chuyrch it was soo cool and throughout the lesson i felt the spirit and i am pretty sure that he did to his family walked in later and when he saw his son and we where teaching about eternal families he could not stop smiling. it was soo nice. anyway photos

Elder Whiting,

Sooo Sad News All Around

i am upset this week i just got another camera from my previous companion because  he left one and said that i could have it. so i took pictures this week however the card reader that i had decided to give up the ghost. so yea no pics this week. maby next week i will get another reader and send pictures.

other sad news... the truck is gone... yes our truck was taken away they are taking all of the cars and trucks in the mission and putting us on bikes and walking.😲😢 so yea that kinda crushed me.

it was also brought up that i should probably explain why i want to burn a shirt. see there is this mystical pasttime amongst missionarys where we celebrate reaching certian marks in our mission with fire the first 6 months we burn a tie. at a year we burn a shirt. at 18 months we burn a pair of pants. and finally at a year we burn a suit. no mom i am not going to burn a suit i plan to give one of my suits to a departing missionary instead so that it will still be of use. 

soo big things that happened this week other than the bakki (that is what they call pickups here) and the camera. i had an incredible experience. a missionary that served here came back to visit and he gave a very powerfull testimony. i cant remember all that he said however it entailed that nothing happens without the lord planning it. then he quoted about how all of us are pices in a chess set and the lord sets us where he wants us. but my favorite part was when he called on one of his investigators to say how he came to know the church and it was by a book that he saw at the barbers shop and he asked if he could borrow it. then he asked one of my investigators how he found the church. it turns out that he saw the first with the book of mormon that he had borrowed and asked to borrow it so the same book affected two lives. powerfull see if the first had sat 1 chair over neither he or my investigator would have seen the book. the lord works in mysterious ways brothers and sisters. and i can testify that if we follow the promptings of the spirit then we too can be that influence in other peoples lives. till next week i love you all in different ways and salihanhle. that is... "stay well" in sutu.
