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...

Hey yalll

i ran into some people tis week that asked me just to speak for them cause they wanted to hear my accent and apparently they thought that my accent sounded texan i thought they where crazy. my comp thinks that they are right so i dont know apparently wyoming shares a similar accent to texas that isnt as harsh maby i dont know. anyway we had a powerfull moment this week. we where sitting in our boarding eating lunch after church and we got a text from a guy that neither of us knew saying he wanted to hear the good word... so we told him to meet us at the chapel so we did and apparently he was a long lost investigator. one that hadent been taught since last year and still mannaged to remember our number it was cool verry spiritual lesson and cool moment well till next week... Whiting out.

hey hey hey

so this has been a crazy week but yea things have kind of settled down thankfully. this week me and my companion where talking to members that way we can find some new people to teach because the investigators that we had all moved or are in areas now declared as unsafe thankfully we got that figured out some of them said that we would be able to teach them at the chapel so yea. there is always a way. my thought that i shared this week is a lesson where i tear up a pece of paper in a certian way to reviel a cross as well as the peaces to show the death of the savior and by taking them i can spell love benieth the cross the ultimate reason that he paid the price for us.. so remember who you all are... love you all

so sorry about last week

last week we had some issues with power last week. and this week we had the same problems. that is why this is coming out so late. but yea apologies and as for this week we had zone confrence and we learned one importiant thing and that was what your motivations are is very importiant.

there are 3 motives in this world that sum them all up

1. fear, doing what you need to do because of the fact that you fear what will happen otherwise

2. duty, doing what you are supposed to do because it is your responsibility. because it is something that gives you a pourpose and this ties to number 

3. love, in my opinion the most powerfull of all the motives due to the fact of if you love doing something or you are doing something out of love there is nothing that can stop you there is nothing that can stand in your way.

taking that to a spiritual side i would say is how are we in following God and Christ? are we doing it because we fear what will happen if we dont just because we know it is what we are supposed to do or because we love doing it keep that in mind this week as you evaluate the decisions that you make i tried this and my week changed i felt more involved in what i was doing and i know that you can feel the same so that is my challange figure out what motivates you and try to make it your love... love you all in so many different ways varying on who you are because some of you dont need the same love my mother does...

saligahle. and or hambagahle
