Week 13. Report on the Holiday's.

Well I will tell everyone how the Holidays went.

For both Christmas and New Year, we went to the Birri family to celebrate with everyone in the zone/district. They cooked us dinner and we watched bible videos on Christmas, and first vision videos on New Year, the sun was relentless for both days.

On Christmas day we didn't have appointments but they told us to work like normal so we did, we just visited all the people we are teaching and wished them a merry Christmas then we called home at 4 but the Wi-Fi wouldn't work so I called home at 5. then we went to the Birri's they were baptized on the 22 of December.

New year was a normal day, we had appointments and dinner at the Birri's but for the last hour of the old year Elder Mbabela had us read the Book of Mormon to see how far we get. I was half asleep, but it was a good thought.

As for this week the only exciting thing is I went on exchanges with Elder Webb and he is also still in 12 week but that was the most spiritual day of my life, everything was perfect and it was overcast all day.

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...

Week 5. Blessed this Mama's field.

So, this week was good. We have a lot of success finding people, this last week we found 30 new people to teach with return appointments, the problem is they are never home for the return appointments. I ate a lot of sadza, tried to learn more Shona and taught a lot of lessons. So, it was a good week. Some things I will highlight about Zimbabwe is one the driving here is freaky, there is a system but no law. You can go as fast as you want, pass whoever you want and as long as you are on the left side of the road, you're good. There are no buses to go around town, they have little vans called convoy’s and you just cram as many people as you can into them and have some guys hang out the windows and you drive across town. So those are fun to ride in. I had to teach Elder Owuor what a sandwich was for lunch one day. I have to ration my water or else we will run out, as a matter of fact we are out of water right now. We usually run out at the end of the day, so I have to br...

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...
