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
