ZLing, the black mamba, retrospect, killing, baby bear.‏

So everything is sweet in Soweto zone... this month we got 34 baptisms the highest in the mission and everything is just blazing up out here... we have some of the best missionaries in the whole mission and honestly everything is just awesome... in Florida we are currently working with 2 super cool families... the Leopeng family (Kgomutso, Matsie, and Neo) and also Ndlovu's (Mike, Patti, and Nonkululeko) and of course the man the myth the legend George from Tanzania who is just like Nelson which is awesome... The Leopeng family is totally ready for baptism apart from one thing... getting married... they've been living together for 10 years but no rings so its just kinda crazy like honestly just sign the papers its a done deal haha... but yeah everything is looking really good for them and they should be baptized in June... also Mike Nonkululeko and Patti stumbled on the church in a really cool way they bought a book of Mormon at like an open tent yard sale and 3 years later we tract into them... haha just awesome the way things work sometimes.. and also George is just the most humble dude staying out in Durban deep and for sure he'll get baptized soon as well... so Florida, the zone, and mission are on fire and I think we're going to set a new mission record of like 225 baptisms...

This week I also got to go on exchanges with Elder Mamba from Swaziland and we had a lot of fun in Pimville... that night we bore testimony so many times with just some struggling investigators and man it was powerful... that night I kinda went back through my journal and the change from last July to now is just crazy... I don't really know what to say other than if you let the change come, and you work at it, and you don't stop it by being stupid, you achieve more than you can imagine...

So Elder Rodrigues is coming to his final 3 weeks and we just sent Elder Walsh and his parents to the airport today... which is a really weird feeling.. it seems everywhere we go "how long til you leave Rodrigues? 3 weeks... What another dying missionary!?!?! and you Robinson? a year... oh good lots of time left... which honestly I'm thankful for but it is just a weird feeling... like it does not feel like a year has gone... and seeing walsh with his parents was just kinda weird haha... but yeah loads of time left... and no trunkyness here...

BTW I love our zone haha we all live super close so we do a ton together and Elder Moloi just got a letter from a special lady friend that said "I miss you like jelly, you are my baby bear..." oh man I laughed till I almost soiled myself haha... but yeah everything has just been super fun and I'm excited for these next 3 transfers or so... well not much else to talk about but the church is true, God answers prayers, just not always how you expect it, and south Africa is awesome...

Peace
Elder Robinson
