Brett recently asked me to log onto his Facebook and confirm a friend named Aphelele Mzimela.  Shortly after I confirmed their FB friendship, she posted the following:

Stake Conference - November 7, 2016

Hellooooooo!!!!!

So this week was pretty awesome mostly because one of our investigators passed their baptismal interview this last Thursday! it was so exciting because I was one of the missionaries who found her so it is super cool to see someone you found progress all the way to baptism.

Also, this Saturday and Sunday we had stake conference, it was neat because we got a new stake President. Also stake conference is held here in Durban city hall which is this HUGE building, google it sometime. About an hour and half before the meeting started Sunday morning all the missionaries from Durban stake went to city hall and sang hymns and passed out pass along cards and copies of the book of mormon, it was super fun to be doing that with 20 other missionaries.

Besides those two major events nothing else really happened, we found some people who seem like they are ready for the gospel which is also super awesome.

OH, I just remembered a story I have to tell, so for what ever reason here people think that if you have a bad memory you have diabetes, no idea why they think that but they do, so this week I could remember where I put something and one of my companions said to me "maybe you have diabetes". it was the funniest thing ever, it may not be funny to you all but it was to me..... haha.

I love you all and hope you have a great week.

Goodbye - October 31, 2016

So yesterday was a happy/sad day because one of the missionaries who lived with me for the past 2 months finished his mission - the assistants came and picked him up from our house after church, its always weird to see people go home, and every transfer since I got on mission I've known someone who went home. You kinda just sit there and think one day that will be me and there will be some other young missionaries sitting here seeing me pack up and head home.

Other than that though this week was great, we have one of our really powerful investigators getting ready to be baptized, her interview is this week so we are super excited for her. the baptism though wont be till the 13th because this next week is stake conference. stake conference is kinda different here but ill talk about that next week after it happens.

Because one of the missionaries went home I am now in a 3 some with another missionary from Utah named Elder Marshall. He is a pretty cool guy and its crazy because we had almost the exact same jeep back home, except his was green and mine was white.

Other than that, I don't think there is much to talk about this week, just working hard and getting ready for another transfer to come to a close. We find out our new companions a week from Friday so it's exciting to see what will happen to me since my companion will be going home at that time.

I love you all and hope you have a great week.
