Into week 5 of the second transfer! I’ve got a long way to go folks. haha but its going bye fast! Thank you to everyone for all the emails and support!
Whynotcrew is all around the world killing it right now and I couldn't be more happy for what we are doing!
So sadly I havent seen conference yet. We will be watching it as a whole city this weekend and I'm pretty excited for it! It will be nice to take a break for a day.
Fun story:
We went to this guys house named Temba Inkosi and he used to be a powerful member but soon turned into a stotsi. (wanna be gang man). He was pretty drunk and and kept saying to my companion that he was sent from God because his name is Elder Bir but you literally pronounce Bir as (beer). So yeah the guy was super stoked. Anyways we went into his house and he said we dont open bibles in this house and then he said he would open with a prayer. After the prayer we mentioned the Book of Mormon and he told us his favorite story was when Nephi cuts off Labans head. He then followed with this statement "I love murder." So we chuckled but in our heads it was like the Saratov Approach going down. Anyways he pulled out the Bible and turned to a random page he then forced us to read with him the entire chapter and before we could add any comments he slapped my leg and said Tendaza (pray) So I prayed and then he showed us some cow hoofs he had in his back yard which were just some legs cut off a cow. And said he was going to cook for us. He then checked our pockets for money and we did this circle thing where we put our fists together and we bowed our heads and then said bye. This is pretty common but its just so weird and people are incredible funny when they are drunk talking to men of God. They call us Jesus and ask us for money.
But on the other hand everything is amazing and I couldnt be having more fun. Still on the search for a skateboard.
Love you all.
Peace and Blessings
