Glad everything is going well, the week has been pretty good. Sorry that you cannot really find are house, the way they do the streets here and stuff is so retarded. That’s unfortunately all the info I can give you guys. As far as landmarks and stuff by us there is not much. Once you go out of our house and down the road to the main street and take a left there is a roundabout that is not too far. Then you take a right at that round about and it will eventually take you to a mall called Molapo crossing. that’s the closest thing to us that is kind of big that I can think of. Don’t know if that helps. I would think you would be able to find are house by the plot number and the phase we are in because there is only 1 plot number with that name. But hope you can find it.
My shirt size is like a 15-16 right now I have 15 but think a 16 would be fine. I’m glad you guys got the laptop working hopefully it helps nick. That’s sweet… it sounds like she is doing really well in school. I loved your talk by the way, it was really good I wish I could have been there when you gave it but I just printed it out so I can read it whenever I want to. I’ve heard that story about James e Talmage before. But I never heard that the Jesus Christ actually appeared to him.
We are still hoping for are 3 baptisms we might even get 4 if all goes really well. But it’s just always really stressful when it comes down to the end of the month and you can never be like 100% sure if all will get baptized. But they are all looking pretty good, Yesterday we got to watch general conf it was really good and are investigators really liked it a lot so that was sweet to see that.
That’s sweet that Matt is back, ha-ha when you said that about when he got off the plane and no one would talk to him it kind of made me think that that’s how things are here. Like everyone will say hi to you as you walk by or just start off with a random conversation. That’s one of the things that’s really nice about Africa is all the people LOVE talking..Sometimes too much, but I suppose that’s good for missionaries.
The week has been good though, last night me and my companion went to Winnies house again and we ended up being there for 4 freaking hours! ha-ha we taught her the lesson in about an hour then as we were getting up to leave her mom told us to sit because she was making dinner for us so of course we never turn down food so we sat and ended up playing Uno with Winnie until the food was done...it took a very long time for some reason but it was really good. We also got news this week that elder rose (the greeny) will be getting ET this Saturday because his days in bots are out. This is becoming a major problem with this mission and is hurting bots really bad. Missionaries just keep coming and going coming and going and its killing areas, so far about 3 areas have had to be closed just because bots does not want to give anyone residency for some stupid reason. So hopefully they will soon work all this out. Something kind of funny and embarrassing happened this week. So we got a call from the sisters that one of their investigators babies needed a blessing and Elder Rose was in the shower and my companion was not ready so me and Elder Mobashora from Zim had to go give the blessing, When we got there it was just the mother and her baby and the sister missionaries. We just talked a little bit about what blessings are, and then I started to anoint the baby. Then the baby started to cry so the mother just decided to FEED HER BABY RIGHT THERE!! I don’t know if you remember or if I told you but people here do not use bottles to feed there babies, they feed there babies with the things that God gave them… and so while I’m giving this blessing the mother just pops it out and starts feeding her crying child and it was one of the most awkward things that has happened on my mission!!! Especially with the sisters standing right next to Elder Mombashora and I. I had to keep opening my eyes making sure that my hands were still on the baby...so anyway that was kind of a weird experience this week.
I don’t know is you guys remember the color code thing. Where you take a test and find out what color your personality is...but the guy who invented that is now in our mission, his name is Elder Hartmen, and last p-day he came to the whole zone and was teaching us about this color code and also using it to help us know how to get to know are selves and are investigators . It can also help us to solve the needs of some of the people we teach and things like that. It was actually really cool and this might sound kind of nerdy, but I took the test and I am mostly a Red with lots of Yellow and a little Blue and like no White. Just in case you wanted to know...it was pretty sweet you get to kind of find out a lot about yourself and this is also helping with are investigators as well. So thought you guys might want to hear that. He is a really cool guy . It is really cool to have him and his wife in this mission. I think they will help out a lot. He also grew up in Southern California, so I also mentioned that my mother grew up in Southern California too.
That’s cool though to hear that kid is doing better in your room mom, I wish you luck with him.
That was the week pretty much, time keeps going by faster and faster its crazy! Love you guys a lot and hope the week goes well.
Love Justin
