Monday was usual but Tuesday was funny.
We were on exchanges I was in Langa with one of our zone leaders elder W. We were looking for a fellow shipper and came across this family with an open door so what do we do? Go talk to them. They saw us go by once and were like, they have to come here. We were stunned and then this lady there was like you guys are men of god right? We are like "Yeah we are". She then told us that she could see the Light of Christ and of God written all over our faces. super powerful.
Later that day we were in a lesson when a drunk guy comes to the door and tells us he is just passing by; but wants to meet us later we shrugged it off. Our fellow shipper just starts talking to this guy! This man was so off his rocker that he started yelling about politics and how much he hated the lady we were visiting! Elder W decides to give him a pass along card to send him on his way. DOES NOT WORK. We were sick of the dude so Elder W says "happy birthday good bye". The man then starts singing happy birthday in Xhosa and twerking on the stairs. We couldn't keep it together we died laughing. FINALLY he left and we were able to get to another appointment. It was terrible and yet funny.
Boring week until new years eve. We started out by deep cleaning some of the boarding(appts.) in our zones. we went to Plumstead some of you may know H. S. he gradated from Woods Cross with us. He is in my mission this was his boarding. Quite nice stuff. We get a text from the AP and AAPs to hurry back to the flats. We got there to find they had somehow gotten a braai stand (grill). So we bought meats and braaied off our balcony since were on the top floor. The zone leaders then left and the real fun began. We were going to go let off Chinese lanterns found in the boarding but when we got to where we were gonna send them it was far too windy. So we go back to the flats to send them off the balcony. Plot twist the first one went down not up onto the balcony of the lady below us. She is nuts. We were laughing so hard but we knew we had to retrieve the paper balloon. We have some wire for some reason so we tried to fish it off her balcony from ours. NOPE. We then get a broom and a makeshift hook from the wires to get it. NOPE. The time is now About 11:00 PM. So we get another broom tape them together to make it longer and go from our balcony. We were close but still nope. So we get another broom to extend it and we finally got it from Rita's baloney and swung it over to the AP's and called it a night. Finished this fiasco about 11:30. If anyone is or is about to serve a mission. OBEY THE RULES!!!!! The lord will curse you if you don't.
What will happen next week on Adventures in SA? to find the answers to these questions tune in next week. same missionary time, same missionary email.
