Shuup guys, 

So we got lost this week very very lost! But we found our way back within an hour. Subject is what my comp was telling me as I was trying to figure out how to get back to our area.  It was very interesting we have had a few adventures like that. Story time

Story one:  When the freeway is backed up, give out pamphlets

So on Wednesday we were helping the AP's with the airport stuff again. We were on the N2 which is basically like I-15 for Utah. but in Cape Town, with crazy stopped traffic.  So we made the best of it. We got a ton of pamphlets and were just running around from car to car and sharing little bits and pieces of the restoration.  The best story is my companion saw a guy that was smoking, so he ran out to give him a word of wisdom pamphlet.  When he got to the Bakkie (small truck) he grabbed the guy by his shoulder and the dude was super scared and said, "hey me bru, don't scare people like that."  My companions response was, "that is how Christ is going to come so you need to be prepared, take this."

Story Two: Missionary Work is fun.

So every Sunday my companion and I teach a mission prep class for the young men with desires to serve, we have about five. Used to be six but one of them is leaving on the fourth of May for his mission in Uganda!  We were planning on having the meeting at our former branch presidents house but no one was there.  We handed them pamphlets and said, " Alright guys lets do some missionary work.  Go hand out these pamphlets".  The young men were very shy at first and didn't want to do it at all. We took them out and showed them how and then they were having a blast and it was so funny to watch.  My favorite ones were a recent convert named Koko and  a young man named Mavuso. They saw this family walking and they sandwiched them so they couldn't run and introduced the restoration.  It was awesome.

Story Three:  History made in Gugs
The branch split yesterday into two branches an Montana branch and a Gugulethu branch and it was very very crazy.  My companion and I are now covering two branches!  Two new branch presidents were called and sustained It will be very interesting to see what happens next.
