This week went by
super fast because we went to Durban for a couple days, I really hope i
get transferred there because it is to nice there. Its the middle of
winter and we went to the beach and were walking around in shorts and t
shirts because it is so warm. Its alot warmer than Ladysmith thats for
sure. While we were there we met our new mission president. His name is
President Thompson, he is super funny and nice. Im glad he is my mission
president for the rest of my mission. I always forget to take pictures
so I dont have a ton but I have some that dont really do it justice in
how amazing it is.
Besides going to Durban we
didnt really do to much this week. Today we had to clean our house super
well because people will come to check it out but as far as the rest of
the day we dont have anything planned. We work hard each and everyday,
its so much fun to interact with these people and be exposed to a new
culture. oh I almost forgot on saturday
I ate goat for the first time. Its a traditional food so you dont eat
it super often but there was a party some members went to and they
brought us back some. The skin is super hard to eat, you can hardly bite
through it. the meat is really chewy though, kinda like gum. It doesnt
really taste like anything I have ever had before. it makes you hands
and mouth smell for a super long time though. even after you wash them
it takes time for the smell to go away. it has a very distinct smell so
you can tell if someone ate goat recently.
Thats
really all that happened this week. It was weird to not be celebrating
today, we wanted to buy some fireworks while we were in Durban but we
didnt have time to look around. I hope everyone has a great week this
week! I love you all.
