Crazy storm

Merry December peeps.

I hope everyone is enjoying the festive season because we are not!  haha the entire month of Dec. people just go crazy and get so drunk.  It is very dangerous but it is heating up down here so I am very jealous of the cold you guys are getting.  

This week was super nice!  It rained alot and we had a crazy storm.  There was the craziest lightning I've ever experienced.  Like everyone and over our heads just striking every second it felt  like!  I took some videos so hopefully you guys can see them.  Other than the storms we had powerful experiences with people.  This week was the first time in my life where I physically saw the spirit testify to a Mama while I was teaching. It was very cool and super hard to describe.  Other than that we have a ton of people on B date for Christmas eve and the 31st. And also the 7th.  So hopefully they don't fall through and I can finally have some baptisms.  This place is powerful and growing like crazy.  

Recently weve had a few soccer games going on.  We live right by a stadium by the way.  I hope to go there and see a game here.  But the streets are packed with people and its super fun becuase there is music everywhere!  So were always dancing with kids and I found myself in the middle of a dance circle this week so of course I started jamming. It was super fun and these people are the best people in the world. Even if they are wasted to a point where they can barely stand. 

Also we went over to a members house to eat lunch and somehow Trump got brought up and then everyone started roasting Trump.  haha poor Donald is getting hate all over the world.  But the food was nice. And they gave me a nice update on the NBA.  Sounds like the cavs are stacked.

anyways salahathle all you children. 

love ya fools

here is a pic of a Skambane.  It consists of bread, fries, ham, sausage, egg, archar, and cheese.  Its very unhealthy but this was my first and maybe my last one.

Bloemfontein

Dumela everyone!  So now I'm in the Province of Free state and the Zulus are gone!  Its only Sutho'

s now so I gotta learn another language. But this place is awesome.  All the missionaries in the mission want to come to Bloemfontein because it is so nice.  We live in the township in a flat complex.  The elders next door have weights and we go running every morning so that is super nice.  The rocklands area is very busy!  We are in a ward and have about 150 every week which I am not used to but its super nice!  

So my companion is Elder Nielsen from Bluffdale Utah.  He has been out 14 months and he is super into theater so he can be very dramatic at times but overall hes great.  He looks like Ellen Degenerous off the Ellen show.  Like super blonde hair.  Has a baby face.  He looks 12 basically.  But hes awesome.  

Okay so its December and its crazy dangerous this festive season!  Everyone just partys and drinks!  We knock on doors and they literally say its December go away.  So the work sucks this time of year.  And the other night a huge fight broke out right outside our flat.  This ma was holding a kid and got knocked down and then people starting kicking and punching and I was so close to running in on it but I didn't.  I was furious. I wanted to grab the baby and run.  Luckily a big ma ran in and grabbed the baby.  

So yeah there is a huge gang here called the Romans and it is horrible what they do!  So all I ask is just pray for these people to stay safe because it is gnarly here!!   My companion did not want to go to a dangerous place so he is always afraid to get out of the car.  

Anyways I was finally able to set my hammock up in our flat..  It was super nice and I missed it like crazy!  

Okay so the work here is crazy.  My comp has had 13 baptisms here.  Everyone is super nice and we have already like 14 new powerful people we are teaching.  So there is no doubt I will baptize here.  Also that big family from Stanger called  me the other night and I miss them like crazy!  My dying wish on mission is to go back to Stanger just to say goodbye to that family.  So they will be baptized all next week by Harper.

Peace and Blessings
