Soooooooooooooo another week down and I still don’t know what to say. Here goes..

Transfers this week and I was transferred to Port Elizabeth. It is beautiful. Google it. It’s a tourist and resort town that is big on surfing. I have been in Fish Hoek for 3 transfers and I’ll tell you my stats;

Investigator lesson: 304

New Investigators: 140

Member referrals: 6

Baptisms: 1

Now that one baptism is from a member referral. People why can’t you do missionary work?! it would be so much more fruitful. But i can’t complain since i rarely ever did myself haha But let me tell ya, if a member gives a referral, ahh it’s the best cause they are super likely to get baptized here!

I don’t know what it is but i think i contract every sickness in the whole world!!!! i was sick again this week and it’s the worst cause you don’t want to stay in but sometimes you just have to! Peeps, any advice on how to build my immune system cause I’m so tired of being sick!

Ok just a little update on those 13 investigators we found last week... ya we are only teaching 3 of them now.... but I’ll take them. They are the best!

As a missionary i feel confident at teaching but then my weakness would be compassion and patience, which go hand in hand. Ya i need to work on that.

Yes, i have thought about reading the Bible dictionary. I actually started it at the beginning of my mission but only got to the Gs and then we started this mission challenge of reading the Book of Mormon so i stopped.

Love you,

Peace love and blessing!
