Travis Mission Pretoria South Africa

Howdy y'all! Another week has passed in the mission and it was pretty normal, so I'll just jump right into it. Monday:  Elder Phabia had another eye appointment, so we got to hang out with Elder Collier for a little while. It was pretty chill. After that we just went back to the flat and relaxed for the rest of the day. Tuesday:  We started the day off with going to see a recent convert to help her understand and get started on some family history work. She's very excited to go to the temple and it's very amazing to see one with so much faith! After that we went to find a media referral. It turns out that she's a young girl who wants to be taught but can't because of where she lives. After the small high from earlier, this was very disappointing. After that we taught the same family who's progressing very well. A day of ups and downs. Wednesday:  Wednesday was a bad day, as both me and my companion were feeling a little off. When we got to the area, we both ...

  Howdy ya'll! Sorry for neglecting to send an email last week, I was extremely distracted and had a very busy pday. I will give a fast recap of what happened that week, and also attempt to keep the recent week brief. Last week:  Last week on Sunday, we had the baptisms of Sisters Lupita and Pontsa! They were very happy to finally participate in the ordinance, and both gave wonderful testimonies! The rest of the week was filled with missed confirmed lessons. It was a struggle both due the the heat and exhaustion, but also the discouragement of people just lying to us. After all that, we still pushed forward and did our best to make the rest of the week better. Now onto the recently passed week. Monday:  On Monday Elder Phabia and I got up a bit earlier than normal pday to get a Bolt (Uber) to the city for an eye appointment for him. It went well, and the head of medical office gave us a free R100 for lunch! After that we chilled/cleaned in the flat while I figured out som...

Howdy ya'll! It's great to be able to write another email! Enjoy! Monday:  It was my very last pday in the Limpopo Zone! Due to that fact, Elder Muller and I made sure to get me ready to go to a brand new area (to me). He was kind enough to give me his old small pros bag and a tiny set of the scriptures! After that we had some nice lunch and played a ton of asketball before cleaning up and heading to the Andelins for a chill pizza night. Elder Andelin called me jacked! YES!! Tuesday:  Today was just another go see people to say goodbye to. It was quite sad, and I kept thinking about how hard it would be to adjust to a new area. Anyway, the Monyepao's cooked us an amazing goodbye meal, and I had some great conversations with them! Wednesday:  I don't remember much but saying goodbye to even more people and getting completely packed for the new adventure. I remember it was my last drive anywhere with Elder Muller, and I was pretty sad about that. Thursday:   Travel day...
