Feeling happy and blessed

hey Donald Trump. 

If you are American here they just call you Trump. 

Okay so my back has been feeling better! thanks for all the prayers! so last week Wednesday i got a call from President and he sent me to a place called Dundee! Its basically old town poky but full of Indians, zulu, and Afrikaans. The branch is pretty small. about 60 people come to church.  We meet in this super old but really cool school house.  The members here are amazing.  On Sunday i was being literally dragged around by people wanting me to teach there class for them.  Typical. But im very excited to be here for many reasons.  Its cold which is a blessing beyond my comprehension. Its a quiet little town. you hear the Islam prayer echoing through the mountains every week.  And my companion is like the happiest kid ive ever met.  Hes 24 from Tanzania Kenya. He has the coolest Jamaican accent. But hes deaf in one ear and hes struggling with english so our lessons are a bit of me talking alot. But hes learning.  K but the coolest thing about this kid is he is an amazing artist. Its actually how he got on mission.  He sold some of his paintings and that is how he was able to come on mission.  He is one of 3 members in his whole family and for him he hasnt talked to his mom in 8 months because she doesnt have email. But President is such a choice guy he lets him call her for like 10 min every few months.  

Anyways we are teaching alot of people and we actually had a guy receive his answer about this church.  He had a dream about a big church and everyone was dressed in white shirts and ties. And then he heard a voice say "go to church my son."  So yah the spirit just slapped me across the face. He also has a fiance and is wanted to get married in our church.  So hopefully i will be here around that time!

Other than that ive only been settling in and getting comfy! oh btw ive finally got air conditioning!!  oh my days im so happy. But i hope you all enjoy up that side and i will also be enjoying the cold with you. 

HAPPY SPRANG BREAK!!!

go shred the slush at pebs! 

Update!

Okay hello hello!  So an update on me. my back is feeling a little bit better but ive still been having some issues.  They moved Elder Abel and I  to Durban so i can see some good doctors and everything has been working out.  Im living with the APs and two other Elders.  So we have 6 peeps living in a very tight space.  One bathroom, one mini fridge, and one bedroom.  So i guess thats what you can imagine it being.  Just the past week the Elders have been trading off taking care of me. Basically all ive been doing is reading alot of talks/scriptures and playing alot of chess.  It really is the more the merrier though with everyone.  Especially the other two elders staying there as well.  One of them is from my group as well, Elder Pentz, the number 1 in the nation for wrestling with a full ride to Fresno. So thats cool and also his companion from Provo, Elder Flake who is a hoot and half. The kid is hilarious. 

Anyways im thinking this upcoming week they will be able to move me somewhere and ill be able to get back to work.  Im not sure if ill be staying with Abel or not.  Also im pretty sure President is closing the area im coming from so ill be going somewhere different for sure.  

Enjoy the life on the up-side and ill be keepin it safe down under!

P90x fail

okay well this week was interesting to say the least.  So on Tuesday morning i was doing some Kenpo X and hurt my back super bad.  It was bad enough where i couldnt move for awhile and then my comp took me to the hospital.  They tortured me on an alter and then poked me with a ton of needles.  I left super loopy.  I came in the day after and i guess i have a kidney infection.  So its been a pretty tough week for me.  Ive been in bed since Tuesday.  Throwing up all night.  Haven't slept much.  So im going to see a doctor in Durban tomorrow and we will see from there! But happy days to you all and enjoy that snow.
