i apologise i wont get any photos this week more techinical porblems they arent uploading

btw if anyone has any questions they want answered publically let me know here

hey guys

sorry for not doing one of these last week i ran into some technical difficulties. but currently i am working on compiling all of my photos through my mission and putting them into a google drive folder i will share that folder in this email and if any of you need access to it that i havent already given access dont be afraid to ask there is nothing that i am trying to hide in there. so here is what is up i am getting transfered yet again. this time i am moving to umlazi perminently

 i will be working in an area called umlazi w yes it is called umlazi w because the town is so massive that they had to devide it into sections and lable them with letters. so yea wish me luck

i will continue to add photos every monday to the folder so keep your eyes pealed i may forget to add and i give my permission to call me out if i do. by the way merry belated christmas and new year. hope that your resolutions come true as well as this year is a good one. remember to stay true to who you are. because only you can determine who that is. dont let anyone tell you who you should be.

until next time, i will miss all of you.

Yay I Am Alive

i feel older. yes i am now 19 yay i survived my 18th year on this plannet. this week there isnt too mutch to talk about other than it has been too hot. we tracted and tracted but not too mutch success. i met up with a previous missionary named thandi. he served in the same area that i am in now and mooved here. yea pretty cool. yea sorry for the short email i will try to make it up with photos how is that? the first one is a really cool bug i saw. the second one is more for the ladies i now have a shoe collection. the third one is a guy herding cows down the center of the road yes they do that and they mix concreat in the middle of the road too. the fourth one is of the baptism from last week i was stiff. then there is a halarious photo of a poster in a members house. and yes the next one i ate and loved it it is my new favorite desert oreo and custard. then there is a photo of my previous companion. another modeling one my new watch because my old one broke and a member felt sorry for me. and finally a fruit called leechee. now dont get me wrong this thing is small however you cant eat too many of them. the reason is they are strong. they pack a punch the way you eat them is you peal the outter skin then suck the flesh out then spit the pit. tasty. well that is all for this week i love and miss all of you take care of eachother and remember to brush your teeth,

Elder Whiting,

What is up my fellow children of God?

life is good here in south africa nothing too new to report other than the following. it was my birthday last sunday!!! we had a baptism that. whent smoothly her name was njabulo. i also discovered that there was another  baptism in my old area an entire family that i was teaching. got baptized all 7 of them!!!  

other breaking news i am going through yet another transfer i am reciving drum roll dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd. elder Blamoh from libera. i havent met him yet so we will learn more about him next week. 

today is my celebratory day or in other words the day i can celebrate my birthday and somehow the YSA figured out that i aged so they decided to throw a party to celebrate my mortality. that is the way they said it. we are going ice scating later today. that should be fun. i will attempt to send pictures later today but i dont know how well that is going to go.

love you all and may the force be ever in your favor

Elder Whiting,

Life is Good

so there has been a lot of things going on recently but not all of it is relivant

i got off of my crutches entirely so yay i can walk again

my caring mother bought me another camera so we will see if i can attach some photos of mua and other stuff i will try to explain what they are as well
so another thing i have been doing the light the world stuff and basically the main responce that we get from people is i respect you for doing this especially in this heat. they would then say that they probably wouldent do it themselves so they are glad that we are doing it

we got attacked by monkeys the other day they where throwing the rubbish everywhere. that was a nuicence.

 the first one is me of cource because there is nothing more importaint

then there is a little girl she is the daughter of one of my investigators.

Elder Whiting,

hi guys and gals

i dont know what to say since i dont have long internet cafes are expensive over here. but here is the week in a nutshel i was told that i mignt have torn the cartalage in my anlke and that things are going to be rough for the next few weeks. i think that i am fine i can actually kinda hobble around with a crutch to ballance. my companion laughs at me when i do

since it is a popular demand i will write about thanksgiving. we sadly do not celebrate it over here in south africa however i baked a turky for the heck of it you know for the spirit of it. we whent on a hike, or as i would say a hobble. but it was nice.

things are going pretty well we have a potential baptism coming up on the 10th my birthday. yay!

i havent been hurt any more since the last incident and hope that it stays that way well i have about 30 seconds left so i love you guys in an agape kinda a way take care of one another and remember to #Light the world if you dont know what that means ask my family

Elder Whiting,

catch up

so far so well ok... i have had some blessings in disquise wander into my field of vision. i managed to sevierly sprain my ankle possible tearing of muscles and tendons so i havbe been limping/ hobbling around on crutches for like a week. but hey a plus i have massive arms now.. haha. i think that i can beat anyone in the mission to an arm wrestling challenge. no not really some of the africans are pretty muscular. on top of that i have had to hobble away from some dogs the little african children thought that it was really funny. i am glad that it made someones day.

i am gratefull for the support that everyone gives me it keeps me going. in the words of Cortés i am going to "burn the boats" i know that i have sufficent support behind me to keep me going and i am gratefull thanks to all who are sharing the load i love you all.
