Hermanus South Africa
Everything is great here in SA! We started with exchanges in a place called Hermanus.. which about a 2 hour drive in the middle of nowhere.. so we spent all day there and I got a pic of 3 shacks on top of each other! haha you don't see that everyday.
But we had some good lessons this week.. we found this guy named Joe a while back.. but he's not feeling so well right now so we stopped by to see him and he was very grateful for that. The thing is he says hes not ready to commit to anything right now, but I know that through time the Lord will soften his heart and bring light and life to his spirit again! :)
Something cool that happened this week is that we took one of recent converts out fellow shipping. and that was fun! He took us to like 5 people that he works with and they were all very interested about the church more so because they have seen a change in Herbert ( our recent convert ) and so it brought curiosity to them and interest! I think that was a great blessing to him to see that the gospel can and will change people if they live it! I believe fully that we all have a light in us.. and the light that is within us can guide others through dark times!
We were also able to come up with a ward mission plan! Which I am a little stressed about, so much to do and so little time.. but it's coming good and I'm excited to get the ward to be a missionary active ward again!
Christmas is my favorite time of year! This 25 ways in 25 days is a beautiful way to spread that light that we have to others and in that process to brighten our own lives! It's been a little challenging.. because not all the things listed can we do as missionaries. But I think that's the fun part of it, that we are are really thinking and sinking these principles and attributes of Christ into our souls and to who we are!
It's getting hotter and hotter everyday here! Oh and I finally got the package! I read letters wishing me a "Happy Birthday" and I just laughed.. but at least i got it!
I hope you all have a great week!
Love you!
