I have a new companion!

Hey mom and dad,
Its good to hear from you, and no I did not get transferred to Witbank. Witbank is on the way to Joburg and we passed through there when I dropped off my companion and got a new one, his name is Elder Williams. He is from Canada and so far we are both getting along very well. I just keep waiting for the Lord to give me a hard companion but I just continue to get really good companions.
Nelson has not got his I.D. yet and things are still going a little heck-tick with him. But he just continues to smile and to thank God for everything. He received the priesthood yesterday and we are going to teach him how to say the sacrament prayer for next time. It’s going to be really cool, I’m really excited to hear him say it. He has come a really long way.
Well, the week has been pretty good. Been doing a lot of tracting. I’ve been getting a little stressed because we do not have enough people for our trimester of ten and we are like 6 behind so we have just been trying to do a lot of finding, which has not been too successful. A while ago, me and Elder Robinson were tracting this street and this one house did not answer, just like many houses, and I always felt like we should go back to that house but we never did. But when Elder Williams came I was trying to find that house again. We finally found it and they actually let us in. It was a pretty wealthy family and we were able to get a return appointment, which usually does not happen with these types of homes. So I hope that will turn out well.
Oh, and I also got proposed to the other day. So far I have been asked out on a date a few times but this was a new experience. We were teaching a recent convert, Bongiewe, and her sister was there. And as we were teaching, just randomly she asked me if I was married. I began to explain to her that we do not get married for 2 years and we get married when we go back home. Then it just got super awkward and she was telling me how I need to come back to Africa and get married there … and it was just super awkward. Everyone in the room was just laughing and yes ... I got proposed to.
We were also able to go play with the orphans again this week. We bought them a soccer ball and they went crazyyy! We played with them for a while and I noticed that they were all playing with their shoes off, so I thought well … if a little boy can play with his shoes off I’m sure I can. So I did and my feet were all cut up and bleeding within like 5 minutes, I swear to you. And they are just sitting here playing for hours with their shoes off … while owning us I might add in the process. But the week has been good, not too much to update you on just a hard but good week. Need to do a lot more finding.

That’s pretty cool you saw Terik today. Next time you see him tell him I say “Call of Duty!” I’m excited to see all those guys when I get back. I guess Matt gets back fairly soon as well, it’s crazy how fast time goes. Ha … I was laughing pretty hard by the way dad said he was going to build an ark. I can sadly kinda picture that going on in our back yard. Might be kinda cool, you should try it....just in case.  But thanks for everything I’ll be looking forward to hearing from you guys next week. Take care, love ya all.
