Well it finally rained here in the Gauteng so I bet the Boers (farmers) and their crops are feeling quite lekker! The rain here and the hail storms that we have are one of a kind. It dumps for like 15 minutes and then stops out of nowhere. It's phenomenal and yet I am the biggest baby when it comes to lightning.... I like it when I am inside but if I am outside that is a different story!!
This week as far as missionary work goes was super refreshing... I needed it. We taught heaps and finished the week off with the baptisms of Mary and Olga! They are both amazing and the coolest part about these baptisms is that I taught them from the first lesson to the end. That doesn't happen very often especially on my mission, I have either been a reaper or a sower.Anyways I don't have too much this week but I just want to express my love for africa and the people here. I am just going to list everything that I love!-How natural it is for people to believe in Christ.-Their humility and receptiveness of the gospel-How sincere and real their prayers are. They understand they are talking to God.-They may have no money but if you visit there will be food and cold drink-They are always happy!-They don't need material goods... Look at all those fancy clothes these will keep us warm just like those… (Jack Johnson)-Their smiles!-The children calling me malungu (white man)-showing magic tricks to the kids and hearing them say "ahhh IT'S MAGEEK"-Their accent-Kota, KFC, and all the food!-The diverse cultures and languages-The taxi drivers... One of a kind-The burning fields. I guess cutting grass with a lawn mower is too main stream.-Their nappy hair and how they don't wash it... Reminds me of my high schoo days KUNU ON-They would rather have airtime than food.-It truly takes a village to raise a child.-Kids playing soccer in the streets or on a dirt field using a brick for their goal...-Kids asking for 5 bob...(5 cents) to by sweets.-Finally their pure love for christHope you enjoyed!
