Molweni, Its crazy to think that i have already been out a month. It feels like I just got on the plane for SA yesterday. It has been a very busy and fun week so with out further ado here's my adventures:

Monday:
We went to a place called spur because they had a good deal on burgers on monday and it was good but people here seriously need to learn how to make fries the taste like dust so yeah then we hada multi zone basket ball tournament and taught some lessons to less actives and recent converts. Nothing really happened to crazy that day.

Tuesday:
We moved couches a lot that day it was really weird actually. We taught more lessons one of them being a young women that has an english sort of  accent which I though was really weird because in townships it usually a really thick more African accent. I found out they don't have root beer! Sorry colter no local brew for you. I tried this Soda called Iron Brew which was like cherry coke with a red bull after taste. We gave out a Book of Mormon to a man that came to one of our lessons he was pretty cool.

Wednesday
Most of our lessons dropped but it was still a good day because there was Gwinya. which is like a scone but with hamburger meat and fries on it. It was pretty good and super cheap  about ten rand ( maybe eighty cents back home) and we taught one of our favorite member families  they said to "tell everyone hello". I learned how to make a cross in a paper with one tare its intense.

Thursday:
Dropped lessons again but we still had a ton of lessons, and they were all super powerful. We found the quote of the week. We shared Alma 6:5-6 and asked the person we were teaching to interpret the scripture and he said, "It says Nevertheless, so its true." It was hilarious and Elder K and I had to bite our tongues to stop from laughing.

Friday:
This was Elder R year mark, so he was super excited!  So was I, because he is our district leader and we had two people commit to baptism! Only one showed up to church on Sunday but hey that's still one soul coming to be more like Christ so I am happy.

Saturday:
Fun stuff. First Exchange I was with Elder W, who coincidentally has been to eagle point!  He is a very strange person but super powerful and can grab peoples attention like a rainbow.  We only got one lesson in that day but it was good it was the first lesson we had with this lady and we totally slayed it.  We also had a branch party there in Langa and it was super fun because there was a ton of food that was braaied ( sort of like Grilling but better) and it was delicious. Then the best part of the day is I got yelled at by a drunk man.  He asked me how old I was and I said "eighteen".  Then he just started shouting about if I knew what teaching was and it was funny. Elder W. almost fell in the dirt and our fellowshipper had to go to the car.  Drunks are everywhere and they are funny.

Sunday:
Church was great the branch is doing well, we had some talks on the love of Christ and prayer. Really good stuff was taught. On Sundays we go to mama J's house to eat food.  That lady loves her Elders and shows it through the food. She literally brings a mountain of food for you to eat and if you don't eat it, she will never let you live it down. I heard stories about the Elder I replaced.  So I ate it and there was too much I felt like I was about to explode but it was super delicious.
