Molweni –   This week was good. It was the start of another transfer. I have already been here in Queenstown and Illinge for 4 1/2 months. It's gone by so fast. I'm guessing this will be my last transfer here, but who knows, lol.    Zive and Sima got confirmed on Sunday. That was pretty cool. Also, our friends Okuhle and Lathitha are preparing to be baptized on the 9th of July in Illinge. So, pray for them.    I had an exchange with Elder Lindblom this week. He's a cool guy, I liked spending the day with him. It's nice to get to be with an American Elder for the day just because we understand each other better, have more in common, etc. But on our exchange these 2 little boys followed us through Illinge for like 2 miles. They were just walk right behind us the whole time. Even when we went into a lesson, when we came back out, they were waiting outside the door the entire lesson, lol. They were so funny. They talked to us the whole time as we were walking, ...

Sima And Zive's Baptism

Molo buhtis    -This week was pretty good. Sima amd Zive Mkhangelwa were baptized this week in the Queenstown 1st ward. They were super excited. Everything went well. Their family even came to watch and supported them, which was powerful. We were hoping they would come. Also, in Illinge we had the confirmations of Ntombentsha, Owethu, and Siphesonke. That was super special. The Lord really has been blessing these people. Just grateful to be a small part of it all.    -We had zone conference this week. The last one with President Van Reenen before he heads home. The night before the zone conference we got a call from the Zone leaders, they told us we had to give a training session for suggested lesson plans. So that night we hurried and figured it out. It was supposed to be only 15 minutes, but somehow talked for 50 minutes, lol. I didn't get in trouble like I thought I might, so it must have been ok, lol. It was a great ZC though.    -It was super windy in ...

Baptisms And Taxis

-Hey guys, this week flew by. The highlight was definitely having the baptisms of Siposanke, Owethu, and Ntombentsha. It was super special and spiritual. Yo, but, the water was so cold. It was like taking an ice bath for real. -I went on an exchange with Elder Knight. That was super fun. Apparently, he and I are like 3rd cousins, which is kinda cool. But I love him, he's so much fun. -Yo, I also had a taxi run into me while we were biking. I was going straight, and this taxi just decides to turn left right into me. Taxis here are passenger vans, and they are just absolutely crazy. I took the side of the taxi right to head. Bro acted like I didn't even exist, hahaha. But I'm good, I stayed on my bike, so it really wasn't that bad. - We were teaching Zive and Sima about temples this week. They'll be getting baptized next week. But as we were talking about temples and it made me realize how much I miss the temple. There truly is no other place like it on earth. The spi...
