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 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 ange...

Week 8. Put your shoulder to the wheel.

This week was another good week. Some interesting things were, we had zone conference this week, so that was fun. Nobody told me that I was going on exchanges with the Zone leader Elder Black so one morning he came out and said you ready for comp. study? And we ended up going on exchanges that day. Last week when we were in Bulawayo, we were driving to the mission office at night and we saw five drunk guys trying to push a 30ft. bus down the road with cigarettes in their hands. We had 8 missionaries in the van, so we got out and helped push, we ended up pushing it about a quarter mile or more down the road. And Elder Riggs was following us in the van blasting put your shoulder to the wheel. So that was fun, hot, and sweaty. This week the seventh day Adventists have been determined to teach us and convert us to the sabbath on Saturday. And the first time we met one who started whipping out bible verses and he even had me thinking that we were wrong, but...

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...
