Well we are back from the elephants today!! It was actually
really cool this time too! We got to ride them this morning, and we rode them around
the fields past some buck and zebras, and then afterward we got to feed the
elephants :) It was super cool!! At this place we all got to be on our own
elephant with a guide, so it was pretty sweet, and then afterwards, even though
the actual riding was shorter, the guy brought out a big bucket of food and we
got feed the elephants and take pics and stuff! It was really nice :)
Well this week the work was pretty slow. Last Monday we went
into Kwano Buhle to play some soccer, and it was pretty fun, there was a good
amount of missionaries there, and then there were some members from Kwano who
came and played, so it was nice I guess.....just an average p day. Ha ha. Not
as good as this one....today was fun!
Tuesday we had a few appointments, most of them dropped so
we were trying to visit people and make appointments, which kinda worked, not too
good though. But that night the senior couple in PE, the Blatters, had a get
together thing with all the missionaries around and it was nice. We had a
little thought, introduced ourselves, and then had brownies and ice cream :)
Friday we had zone interviews and training here in
Uitenhage, so it was the first training and interviews with the new Mission President!
President Merrill is good, he's a funny guy, and the interview was just kind of
a get to know you session. But it was nice!
So the young men were doing a camp this weekend, and the
leaders wanted Carnieletto and I to go Friday night and just speak to the Young
Men about missions and preparation and stuff like that. So after the training
we went up, it wasn't far at all, and spoke there. It was really nice!
This weekend we had a few appointments and then the Young Women's
Presidency (I think) wants to start working more to reactivate and strengthen
the Young Women, so we went with them to a bunch of member visits and less
actives this weekend.
Church was super funny too.....so we had an investigator
come, named Eldridge, so that was super cool! He's a cool guy, and once he
keeps the word of wisdom he'll be golden! But anyways, in priesthood this member
guy, he's an older guy who's pretty crazy, stands up and just farts. Like super
loud it was hilarious!! So that was a highlight of church for me :) ha ha.
Like I said, this week was pretty slow work wise, but we
found a few new investigators so we are hopefully going to start having more
and more appointments!
I love you and miss you like crazy!
Love,
Elder Truscott
