Week 11. African Haircut.

Another week done.

It was a good week as well. Some highlights where I worked on an illegal farm, but there is no law enforcement so who is going to stop them from farming illegally. I actually think every farm here is illegal.

I got a haircut and went to an African barber and now my hair is the shortest it has ever been. I walked in and said you can cut my hair like this right? And he said yes so, I sat down. Then he started on the sides and it was short, and I thought it’s okay I can make do. Then he cut the top and he just gave me an African hair cut on an American head. So needless to say, my hair is super short now.

We had the Christmas party in Bulawayo, so we got up early and made it there late and got home at 10 that night so that was good. Not really.

We put 7 people on date to be baptized and we had 8 people baptized this week so that was really great.

SOTW is Helaman 14. and 15 they are great.

Have a great week

Week 12. First Mission Christmas!

I am out of time this week sorry, but the highlight was I got to talk to my family. Everyone is in Kamusha now, so the work was a little slow, and the sun was insanely hot this week so that was not great. We also have no food and no money because of the allotment period so we are starting the new year off strong! SOTW is 3 Nephi 15 Sorry about the short email! Elder Williams Update from Elder Williams Family: It was so fun to get the opportunity to talk with our amazing missionary! We started the morning off a little worried that we would not be able to talk with him because the Elder's were running about an hour and a half late in talking with their families. But we got our hour to talk to him! Elder Williams started off with trying to teach us the Shona that he has been learning. He told us all about his haircut he had a few days earlier. He seemed to still be in quite a bit of shock that his hair was that short. He told us that he is living in a house w...

Weeks 14 and 15. Protests in Zimbabwe

Dear Parents: We wanted to let you know that your son/daughter will not be emailing today. Zimbabwe is having economic problems that have escalated this weekend to the point of people initiating protests in major cities. These protests are against rising fuel costs that went into effect Sunday. President Okot felt it would be safer to have all missionaries stay in their flat today to avoid any confrontation. As far as we can tell, this may be a one-day protest. If things look better tomorrow, they will be allowed to use Tuesday as their P-Day and they will email you then. Please do not worry!! Pres. Okot is taking every precaution to keep the missionaries safe. This is our number one concern. The Zone Leaders are in contact with each companionship and will report any concerns. The people of Zimbabwe are a peaceful people, and are only protesting to let the government know that they cannot continue to raise t...

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...
