First Week In The Field!

It was good to get out of the mtc out flight was Wednesday at 8 so we had to wake up even earlier at 5 that sucked.  But getting to Cape Town was good it's really pretty here the mountains are awesome not as good as the mountains back home though obviously lol.  We had a meeting with President van Reenen he seems like a cool guy he's also seems to be very strict but that's probably good for me. 

For the first two days we were here Elder Rober and I he's my mtc comp. We stayed with Elder Pratt and Steenbokkers for a day until we got our new comps.  And it was cool we followed them around and it helped us learn kinda how they teach and stuff.  It was fun.

 I got my companion and area.  I'm in Stellenbosch which is a university town it's about 30-40ish minutes away from actually Cape town.  Its really pretty right by the mountains but that makes biking hard we only have a car for a few days of the week lol.  My comp is Elder haas (Garrett Haas)  he want to lone peak and played lacrosse there and he's going to play lacrosse and Ohio state he's a good guy.  So we've played pass and talk about lacrosse which is cool. And makes it easier to work out and do my workout routines and stuff.  We need to get some better food in tho his food 

We met some crazy guys.  One guy that use to live in utah who thinks he knew all about the church.  We saw some guy who had overdosed I thought he was dead but he opened his eyes so hopefully he didn't die.  Also elder haas accidentally cut me off on his bike and I ate it and almost got hit my a car which wasn't fun but I was okay It didn't really hurt.  But a part of my bike helmet broke off. 

We've done a ton of teaching and finding.  We go street contacting and door knocking a lot.  Which I didn't think would work but surprisingly a lot of people give us there numbers and let us in their homes to talk. Idk how many will continue to let us teach but finding people hasn't been too hard.  We met with this one Bible basher that just made us come over to try and prove us wrong. I think we beat him honestly but he was really annoying.  We met with this old lady named vercy she's really sweet and accepting I have a good feeling about her and her family we'll see tho.  Also we have one person on date to get baptized his name is Joel.

For p day we went shopping and worked out we went to another group of Elders place and they have a gym in their place so we got a good workout it felt awesome it was like Christmas day. Getting a real workout.  

Not going to lie it has been hard to try and adjust but I'm trying to find my reason to stay out here and focus on the savior and just forget myself as they always say.  Hopefully ii can get that mindset soon.  But I've realized it's all about attitude and doing the stuff you dont necessarily want to do but you need to do because its what's right. 

Love and miss you all!!
