February 10, 2014 "Howzit"

Howz it! as we say here but i love mission. yes I am already talking different because even if you say I love MY mission they wont understand!  My companion is amazing and so loving! His is from Zimbabwe and a big rugby player! He even played for his country! But i have learned a lot from him and how to always have to spirit with you and never do anything that will take the spirit away.  So the other day we were watching a church DVD and the story of john tanner came on.  Dad, that guy reminded me off you.  Go watch it! It made me cry.  But Krugersdorp is amazing.  It is a really rich place but we have one town where it is poor and has lots of drugs and prostitution.  We can't track in town because of the danger.  So we track in the rich areas and we haven't gotten into one house there yet! Everyone is so stubborn and says they dont have time.  I just want to scream at them and say oh you better make time! But then I smile and say bye.  We are teaching this girl named Themwa in town and she has two young boys.  Her husband passed away last year and she lives in the smallest apartment.  She is starting to understand the gospel but we just need to get her to church but it is hard cause she has no car.  We just started teaching this guy named Peter.  He wants to know more and he came to church on Sunday!! The last investigators are Sethu and Pauline.  They both have baptismal dates but Pauline has a boyfriend and can't get baptized till she gives that up or gets married.  The ward is really strong and the bishopric is amazing.  I almost get a meal every day which is awesome! I’m learning to eat proper because they all make fun of how Americans eat hahaha  
Sincerely Elda Olson as they say here haha
