Week 7. Meetings in Bulawayo and Thanksgiving.



Well this week was good, we had lots of lessons and we had the follow up training meeting in Bulawayo. The drive there was great because we had a van. The meeting was great, I learned new things. The drive back was awful, the AP's took the van back and gave our zone leaders a car and that took away our spots with them to drive back. So, we took a bravo which is a nice bus to Gweru and that was fine, but we had to take a convey back to Masvingo from there and it took most of the day and I was crushed between the door and a big sweaty mama. 
Great Zimbabwe


Last week I said we went to Great Zimbabwe and I want to tell more about it because it was actually really cool, but it really was just a big pile of rocks. That is all I really have to say or can say.

The other weird thing is we have to take malaria pills, so we don't get malaria, and one of the side effects is that you have really strange vivid dreams. So, every morning I wake up thinking what just happened, how did my mind come up with that, but by breakfast I have already forgotten it but I just remember that something really strange happened.

We lost all 6 of our baptismal dates and we committed 10 people to promise to come to church, and all 6 of our BD's got dropped and nobody we invited to church showed up.

Other than that, it was a really good. For thanksgiving dinner, I ate chicken and rice. and Elder Black told me Happy Thanksgiving. So that is how we celebrated.

A couple weeks ago my camera got stolen and the story is actually pretty impressive. We went into the pic n' pay to buy our groceries and I left my bag in the car because the store is super crowded, and it would be a hassle to carry it around. We were gone for about 30 minutes and when we got back, I noticed my bag was open, so I looked in it and my camera was gone. we asked the security guard who was standing right next to the car if he saw anyone go in because we were parked on the front row and he said no. Elder Black said he remembered locking the car, and later that day they went back and looked at the security tapes and they saw nothing except a 30 second glitch in the recording. My camera and our phone were gone so we did get robbed but they got into a locked car within 30 seconds of messed up tape.

That is about all that I can remember this week and last week.

Have a great Week!

Week 10. Soccer Payoff.

This week was good.  One cool thing about this week was my area has been struggling compared to the rest of the district. But I realized why. I have been thinking that baptism is a huge deal, which it is, but I have been waiting for people to be more committed before I extend a date. This week I realized how will they desire to be committed if they don't have a day to work for. So, I started offering dates and now we have 4 people on date and lots more committed to baptism.  Another thing is that as a district every Monday (Pday) we go to the church and play soccer and now I can say that all those years of playing with the Mexicans is paying off for helping me to beat the Africans. They are small friendly games, but we invite everyone to come and play and I have a fan section because nobody has seen a Kiwa play.  We did a service project on an illegal farm on Saturday so that was fun. Also they were impressed that a marungu could plow faster than them, I don&#

Week 17. The Spirit of God.

Week 17 January 28 th , 2019 Well the first week of t new transfer has begun. This week was normal, we worked in Pangoline which is that area around the chapel, we have a baptism this week. I don’t really know what else happened. This week seemed so much less interesting compared to last week. But we did go to Bulawayo for Zone Conference, in a combey, in a day, so it may not seem interesting but a combey ride for eight or more hours is always interesting. One cool thing that happened this week was yesterday the senior couple missionaries Elder and Sister Smith came to town, so we had church and it was normal, but after we went to the house of this person the Zone Leaders are teaching, we took the entire zone (all 8 of us) and the Senior missionaries to this mans house. His name is Shepard and he is paralyzed from the waist down. He said he really wanted to come to church but because of his circumstance he can’t. So, all of us took church to him. We sang hymns and share

Week 2. Angels among us.

Hey everyone! It was another great week here at the MTC and now I only have a few days left, I fly out on Monday at 4:45 in the morning and get there a long time later.   The Red Sea in the MTC.  Elder Williams and a fellow Elder friend. Well I will start with the most interesting highlight of the week. I found an angel. Me and Elder Gammon went to the 6th floor study area to study one day and we met a teacher named sister Orr. She was really nice and taught us some journaling stuff, a fun restoration game to play, and how to say: welcome to the MTC, Welcome to the empty sea, and Jesus Christ loves you, all in sign language. She teaches sign language here and she was nice. But the thing is Elder Gammon wanted to meet her again, so we started asking all the White tags(teachers) and info desks where she is but nobody knows her. We asked at least 50 workers that day and not a single one of them has ever heard of her. So Elder Gammon is positive that she is an angel and jus
