Well hello friends and family!
So, many might not even know since it happened so fast, but
I am back in Zion, South Africa!
This past week has been wonderful! I was expecting to be the
only missionary on my flight here but there ended up being a senior couple
coming to the mission from New Mexico.
So my area is called Kwa-Thema. It is a township near the
city Benoni. It is an all black area which I love! We are currently riding
bikes but could get a car here soon because 4 areas will be closing down.
I probably won't share a lot about the people we are
teaching because I'm still getting to know them and have only met with the
people we are teaching once. The work is going really well here. We have about
6 progressing investigators. It could be better so we're going to continue to
find and teach. Hopefully with the Light the World initiative we will be able
to find a lot of people.
I am currently in a threesome. My companions are Elder Blow
and Elder Soglohoun. Elder Blow is from England and Elder Soglohoun is from
Benin. We all get a long really well! So Elder Blow actually came into the
mission the day I left so he took my spot with my companion. So in our mission
lineage he is my brother but also kind of my father now because he's kind of
training me again. We'll just cover any parts of the 12 week program that I
feel like I need to refresh and then finish what I didn't finish. I've got the
doctrine and content down really well surprisingly. Now I'm really focusing on
my teaching skills.
This week has gone by quite fast! I've eaten 3 kotas already
in the time I have been here. Kotas are the big things of bread with chips
(fries) and meat in them. Man I missed the food here! And even more the people.
I have been able to talk on the phone with my trainer and many missionaries I
was in the MTC with since I've been here. I can't wait to see them all.
