Letter from
Michael 10-27-2014 (11 Months)
It is getting into the Holiday seasons Halloween,
Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Only one of these Holidays do they kind of
celebrate here. For Christmas Africans besides drinking might have a BBQ
(Braai) and that is about it. Anyway, it has been about 11 months since I have
left to South Africa and it has been great so far. One of the greatest things
someone learns on mission is patience. It is tried all of the time.
So I learned that the Post office will probably be on
strike even till sometime next year. I would be shocked if the Post Office was
off strike in January. I did hear that UPS or FedEx would still work. So Mom,
perhaps you can send things to me through FedEx.
Well we have another Temple trip coming up that I am
looking forward to it. The weather last week was very hot at times and then at
other times it was cold and raining. I am very grateful for the rain lately. It
has been too long. The rainy season came late this year. Unfortunately we never saw Joyce and Mpumi
last week and they did not come to church. Something sad happened to Joyce
which is why we have not seen her in a while. It has been a rough week.
Throughout most of the week almost all of our appointments got cancelled so we
had to do a lot of improvising. We have been tracting quite a bit but it really
isn't very fruitful. We need to find more through the members.
On Tuesday the AP's went on splits with Rabie Ridge 2
Elders and us. Elder Menendez who is the new AP who came with us. He is from
Lehi, Utah Just like Elder Todd who is being trained by Elder Christie. A few
days after the APs were here President Dunn told us that he is pleased and
impressed with the work that we are doing in our District.
