So I'm gonna say I'm a little disappointed this year to not be a part of the world famous snicky snacky night previous to Thanksgiving but hey we got some sweet stuff planned out here... This morning we enjoyed a 5K turkey trot around the bird sanctuary and took some sweet pictures and very shortly will be going to the Wittwers for a Thanksgiving er a Monday the 22 of November feast... also later this week is Elder Mchunu's birthday so we're going to Boma and tomorrow is exchanges and we're gonna get the ever popular AK-47 so it'll be a feast of a week even without ritz crackers, shrimp, and all of the chicken wings I can eat haha....
So to the week... This week was the bomb and needless to say we are back... BOOM BABY! so this week had two pretty sweet stories from tracting... basically we met a life long atheist and he just busted out the age old concerns... you can't see god have you ever seen Christ etc. etc. so man we shamboked him hard core and bore sweet SWEET testimony... then he opened up... turns out he lost both of his parents at age 10 and basically stole and lived on his own for 20 years... he was kicked out of his church and lost like all hope in life so we hooked him up with a plan of salvation pamphlet and a book of Mormon... We also have continued teaching out in Dal Park and have been teaching a lot of Indians and Muslims which is always very interesting we're seeing John on Wednesday who comes from a hard core Muslim background but is starting to accept Christ because of his girlfriend so some more interesting stories to come....
the Pigeon count is now to 43 due to some heavy rain and a lot of worms on the streets so keep your fingers crossed for 50 by the 5th of December that is our key indicator goal haha...
So the work has been a bit tough as far as getting investigators at church and finding legit solid families to build the ward but in PMG it says "You can know you are a successful missionary as you feel the Spirit testify through you to those you teach" and we felt that hard core this week. like there is no denying our message if the Spirit is there and we should be looking at about 20 people on baptismal date before January 12th... We should be getting 8 baptisms in the coming three weeks and so the work is going very well now... we're just looking for a solid family to teach in Boksburg but there are some big gates and even bigger pit bulls... but whatever I'll snap some dog necks call of duty style if I have to... like... Oh er sorry about your dog that blood will come out of the lawn... could we share a wonderful message about our savior Jesus Christ with you and your family? man I can't wait for crazy contacts... OH SNAP Forever Young just came over the internet shop we're goin hard core 80's cheese right now.... sorry about that just I was so excited....
Stake conference is pretty sweet out here we got a broadcast from Capetown with Dallin H. Oaks and Boyd K. Packer so 2 apostles pretty nice haha... they talked a lot about cultural things out here like Lombollo which is like the Johnie Lingo thing where you pay for your wife with cows, and going to the bush which is like a manhood thing where you get circumcised and learn about dominating your wife and how liquor is the only food men should have on a constant basis... hahaha... Give me some Scotch and some Steak!!! man it was intense though...
So 4 minutes to go and not a whole lot to talk about so lets see here... I've enjoyed everyone's letters a lot and its sweet to hear from everyone... this is gonna sound pretty lame but everyone back home... do your home teaching and visiting teaching... like if I had a nickel for every less active story about someone who took offense, or doesn't have a friend in the ward, or whatever I swear I could by my own plane and fly home on P-days it pretty fetching ridiculous so do it haha it makes a world of difference... enjoy the winter weather everyone because here comes the warm nights and rainy days of Africa in December...
This may be my last week in Benoni so you'll hear what's up on monday and all about this sweet place...
enjoy the week and Peace
