Hello all and welcome to this weeks letter haha... to the headline yeah 100% legit... So duran duran who bring us such hits as "hungry like the wolf" and "Rio" were in Benoni at Carnival city... we shop at carnival mall quite a bit and sure enough they were there doing a meet and greet... so I gave them a passalong card and got shut down hard core... But anyway yeah what's up I tried to convert some 80's legends....
So funny companion story now... Elder Mhlalase has been quite the fan of my slang usage and has been bringing it into his vocabulary... his favorite thing is to overemphasize the first letter of the power word... for example.... "WOO look at that guy yo he is MMMMad...." So we were in the middle of a 4 hour weekly planning session and enjoying some top Raumen noodles and man we were hungry so he just went to work and tried to eat so fast and got burned so spit the soup out and spilt the noodles, broth, and chicken all over his face, tie, and shirt... covered in noodles, sweat, and broth, he said... "Man I'm PPHHissed!!!" I seriously still can't tell this story without laughing hahaha I'm getting interesting stares from those in the email shop.... man that guy is awesome...
So as far as the week goes not much happened other than some super interesting new investigators... there is Doro who lives in Leachville... this guy is super sweet and we met him just knocking doors... This guy has had AIDS for 20 years and ran the Soweto marathon the next day after meeting him... He's like yeah I could be bummed and just sit here and die or I can go out and live... its as simple as that...
And then came the muslims... haha we have been knocking mackenzie park which is just loaded with them and most of them are about ready to declare Jihad on us but a few have let us in and we should be seeing them this week... so that'll be fun
this week we had some sweet rainstorms and like lightning would strike like no joke 10 feet away and it sounds like a bomb going off... hard core dumping rain like so much its like stepping into a shower at Laquinta the #1 guest rated shower head.... haha.... but seriously we were soaked like so much you have to wring your shirt and pants out and you have standing water in your shoes being out of the car for 5 seconds on the way to a door... it is awesome...
But yeah... pretty uneventful week as far as missionary work goes just a lot of finding... Oh yeah by the way we found 5 count em 5 new white families to teach... now that doesn't seem exciting but most missionaries go there entire missions without baptizing any white people here... so yay for us....
Next week hopefully we'll be having a baptism and we have I believe 8 scheduled for the 21st of November so that'll be INTENSE
The work goes forth... and hopefully next week I have a few more exciting stories to share
All the best
