Well well well. It's been a long time. Also a well is a pretty deep subject. It's funny that I brought up a well too. I'm now in a town called Grahamstown. Or better known at mkanda and this town doesn't have water every other day. And better still we don't have power for about 6 to 9 hours a day. The nights are the worst when the fan stops working and you wake up lying in a pool of sweat when you literally have no blankets on you and just a pair of shorts. And the mosquitoes are Relentless. Not like the ones in Idaho which sit in one spot and soak up your blood till they are full, no these ones are smart barely even sipping in one spot then going to another part and getting more blood. We need to invent a disease to kill all mosquitos... or we could hire a gecko 🦎. There are a few in our house and they love to eat the mosquitos so I try not to eat the geckos. Sort-of like a you scratch my back ill scratch yours. Good old geckos am I right.
Anyways we also cover the beautiful town of Port Alfred which is a small Port full on amazing views and good hikes and lots of work. We have to drive about a hour there each day when we go. But grahamstown is nice. There is nothing that brings people to this town other than the university. So we are focusing on teaching a bunch of YSAs or young single adults. But we are busy, really busy. We have 13 solid people we believe are going to get baptized and we taught 41 lessons this last week. We have been pushing hard, got to finish with an all out push. But I have loved being here. Its so hard, I wouldn't ever do it again but the changes I've had and the love I've gained for the Savior is amazing.
I can truly testify that if you want to know that Jesus Christ has once again called a prophet to this earth to guide us and to help us in his love then you should read and pray about the book of Mormon. It's the simple message we share.
Tips for south Africa...
Guys, if you see a police man in south Africa 100 rand will get you out of trouble. I don't bride cops though. But it's a helpful hint.
If you are going near a township lock you doors and whenever you stop even at the red lights be on a look out.
If you ever come across a Gatspy invite me... they are a giant sandwich. Imagine a footlong sub or a little bit longer filled with French fries, meat lettuce onions and who knows what else.
Also no one here can weld to save their lives. You will find security bars over everything and half of them will have their welds rusted away.
Also final thought. When the cows are in the road, lean out of the window, spake them and yell YEEHAW. It's tons of fun 😂
Also I shaved my hair off... sorry
