This weeks been great! It was transfer week so Elder Wilhelmsen left and he's down in Knysna and I got Elder Midgley! He is funny and a good missionary! He's from Holladay, Utah, he is super funny! The Lord has definitely blessed me with good companions. because so far I haven't gotten one that I don't like or I haven't really gotten along with... ( I hope I didn't just jinx myself ) haha, but yeah this week I've been just showing the new Elder the area. Plus I'm still learning the area cause I've only been here for a short time. It's been fun exploring cause I don't know where I'm going sometimes! It's been a good week so far :)
I feel like the Lord is testing me though to see if I will be obedient, because I have so much opportunities to slack off and not do what I'm suppose to.. but it'll be a great learning curve for me in trying to be focused as much as I can!
Today for p-day today we went and climbed Lions Head with a big group of Elders which was super fun! And to top it off, it is Elder Mendenhalls birthday today! He has been around ever since I came to South Africa and has been a great friend to me in helping me on mission! So after climbing, we all went out to eat and then played volleyball and ping pong again! Man.. the Elders that started to play volleyball are super funny! It's because they love it and always wanna play it! haha I told them it would be addicting! I guess it's just good news for me cause now I get to play volleyball more often! :)
All the people right now that we have lost cause of the holidays and since I still haven't met all the Less Actives or some of the members, and I don't really know how to find them... so its basically starting from scratch and finding all these people again. But this week will be better and I will work harder now that Elder Midgley is all settled in!
Hope you all have a great week!
Love,
ELDER FONUA
