Hey mom and dad,
Things are going great. But I did read both yours and mom’s
email last time. You guys were kinda acting like I just read one. But I do read
both of them. Sorry if I don’t always respond to the things you guys ask or
say. It’s hard for me to remember when I start writing back. But everything has
been going sweet. We had a lot of walking this week due to the zone leaders
being away with the car. But they came back up this week with a pickup instead
of the car this time....which I don’t like very much because its stick, but I’m
fine with it now. I just like auto better. We were driving to the Gerald Elders
this morning to go help them with their yard and all of a sudden I started
steering the car and it would like not steer....yo I freaked out. Apparently
the power steering somehow went whack, and apparently I’m just like super week
because I thought something was very wrong. I guess that’s how cars used to be
but I’ve just gotten used to the power steering. So I felt pretty awesome.
Ha man I thought you were serious dad when you were first
taking about emailing the ward every week. Ha-ha, man I felt bad but then I
realized it was a joke as I continued reading. I understand now though. We are
teaching a few families. Recently we started teaching a cool family called the
Sebedi family. We have been teaching them a while and we are hoping they will
be baptized in April. The father is a solder for Bots, and him and his 11 year
old brilliant daughter, Pearl, come to church just about every Sunday. Pearl is
super awesome and had come long before the father, when we first started
teaching them. She is really smart and really wants to be baptized but we want
the fam to do it together. The mom and son are Catholic but hopefully they can
come along someday.
We’re also teaching a really cool guy called Kadimo. He is
super prepared to hear the gospel. At first we thought he was not serious but
has proved us wrong by coming to church 30 min early and has read to Mosiah in
2 weeks and understand’s everything perfectly. There is also this cool girl
named Keletso who really surprised us. We were teaching her boyfriend Charles,
but he is not serious at all. We went to see if he was home one day and we found
her at home and forgot that we gave her a book of Mormon. When we started just
talking to her she mentioned she had been reading the book we gave her and we
asked her how far she had read. She came out and showed us that she is over
half way done with the book of Mormon...ha it was sweet! We did not even
realize we had given her one. We then asked if she is praying to see if it’s
true...which it is, and then she said, “I thought you said I had to read it
first.” But now she is also preparing for this month or next and we have now
been teaching her more than the boyfriend. Sorry if I have told you guy’s any
of these things already but that’s just a few of the people we are teaching.
The week has been a bit tuff though; we have had a lot of
walking to do. My companion is still learning how to ride a bike. He can ride,
but not well enough to ride in town where there are cars everywhere, so we just
keep walking. Everything is going cool with us though. Elder Dlomo is a sweet
guy and we get along great. And now we have another Zulu in the flat, Elder
Zondie, who replaced Elder Hill. He is the one that actually got hit in the
head and lost his memory. He is a cool guy and we all have fun together. The
other night we were all headed to the Risers place to meet the new missionaries
in the zone. Me and my comp where hauling it to come and pick up those guys at
the flat so we could bring them with us, so I just told Elder Dlomo to throw
the keys out the window to them so they could go open up the flat. Ha-ha it was
like the most terrible throw! He threw them like completely in the bushes not
even close to Elder Zondie or Elder McNelly. So we ended up being even more
late searching for the stupid keys. It was pretty funny at the time.
Thanks for searching for those things. It’s fine, I don’t
want you guys to kill yourselves looking for them. It’s fine if you can’t. I
can’t really think of too much I want. Just whatever you guys feel like. Don’t
put in too much, I don’t want it to be super expensive. I don’t think I know
the missionary that came home. Last night I had like a super strange dream that
I came home, but like no one was home and I was in like New York or somewhere
underground trying to find someone I knew. It was really weird. Hopefully it
does not come true. But love you guys a lot and hear from you guys next week.
Take care.
Justin
