Wow i dont know really where to start
i guess with John (the investigator who is difficult). Well he is such a happy
guy. He comes to church all the
time but never reads the book of mormon, really frustrating. The worst part is
he loves the book gospel principles and still doesnt read the book of mormon. I
just wonder what is going through his head hahah love him though.
I had a very cool experience but
first let me tell you, the gift of interpretation of tongues is real. Which
leads to my next experience that is so cool. ok here we go, haha it was getting
late and we just decided to go to a less active who is having a hard time right
now and when we pulled up to their house i noticed a guy just standing there
next to the road and he just really stuck out to me so i grabbed a pamphlet out
of the boot and my comp was like what are you doing, just said gotta always be
prepared. he didnt know i was meaning to give it to this guy but i told myself
if the less active is not home then we are going straight to him and of course
the less active guy wasnt home so i walked over to this other guy and started
to teach him. he doesn’t know English well but knows xosha and zulu so my comp
kinda interpreted .He was very accepting and wanting to learn more. We went
back the next day and then the next so now we have taught him for 3 days in a
row and on the third day he was talking to my comp about a thing that happened
in his life that somehow i understood about how his girlfriend just got up and
left with his son that same day we first taught him and all this. After
the lesson my comp turned to me and asked me if i had any idea what he was
talking about and i told him the whole thing and he was so surprised!!! It was
super cool and i have done it like 5 other times with my comp talking to the
investigators in xosha and then they turn to me and laugh cause i dont know
what they are saying then i tell them what they’re talking about and they freak
out. Im really excited to see how this guy progresses, his name is leike (Lee-kee).
I’m learning so much about the plan
of salvation. i love studying about it. In my patriartical blessing it says
that i will understand it completely or something like that so ive been really
studying about it. I learned that God was one of us at a point (and he probably
served a mission haha,) I’m not sure if that is doctrinally correct but im
pretty sure, its says in joseph F. smith prophet book that "As God once
was, we are and as God is, we can become!” super cool, correct me if I’m wrong.
There’s only so much you can learn with the amount of material you have. some
questions you have cant be answered cause we only have the scriptures and some
books.
Funny story of the week, soooo
sometimes we get lazy and dont take out the trash and just put it on our
balcony but we had inspections so we had to take it out and it wouldnt fit in
our car and didnt want it to smell so we just put in on the boot (trunk). Elder
Sibiya didnt think it was going to stay on so he sat back there with it and we
are going through the garage and i barely tap the gas pedal and he goes tumbling
right off then rolls. hahahaha i was laughing sooooooo hard. it was so funny! he was mad at me for the rest of the day
hahahah.
OH my goodness training has really
tried my patience but you would be surprised at how patient i am haha,. Elder
Sibiya and i got along great this week. he just doesn’t respect me now, he
thinks since he older and more experience he can disrespect me. its really
funny cause i dont care to much but other elders have noticed and said stuff
hahaha but i still love him. in a weird way you love all your companions,
somehow HA.
All is good. I miss home a lot and
not eating too healthy because im to lazy to make food. dont ask tiffany about
what i ate at mcdonalds
Love you
Elder Shaw
P.S. In the pictures, we are on top of table mountain and
btw i have now come to the conclusion that i look good having a chubbier face.
hahaha it suits me now and i like it. Oh and my comp is a personal trainer so
now when i work out i have a personal trainer. oh my lanta! oh and we taught 10
lessons in 2 days Friday and Saturday which was soooo cool. We have never have
done that before!
P.S.S.And yes mom i will of course be
your valentines.... this year :) hahaha
