This week was good on the work.
We got fairly good numbers but unfortunately didn't get any families at church
again. However, one new investigator of ours came. Shes a girl who's about 16
years old I think but I don't know her name because we only sat with her one
time. She's a referral from a member family so that's good I guess. We're
getting closer to some families but swazi is harder than Mozambique. It's ok
though because it just means that we need to work harder and teach better and
have the spirit more.
We had one really fantastic lesson with a family where we
taught the book of Mormon. When we read in the introduction I really saw that
the spirit just struck him and he felt a witness that it was true. Then we
talked more and it was a really nice and spiritual lesson. I really saw the
spirit working with them but unfortunately they didn't come to church which
really depressed me but we'll just keep working with them and hopefully they'll
come next week.
I cannot believe that Rachel,
my baby sister, is going to be in Junior high. I still remember my seventh
grade year and being the first in the family there and how I felt so old and
whatnot and I can't imagine Rachel being anything more than just a little
albeit spunky girl.
To Dad:
Usually on Pday we are just all
too lazy to go and play soccer and end up just taking naps. These days I've just
worked out a little bit. Everyone wants to play but no one really makes it
happen. I never taught this guy that was the richest guy we just got his
contact and he said we could visit another time. Unfortunately it didn't end up
working out but it was a cool story nonetheless. They are wealthy because there
house is pretty nice it's probably about a fourth the size of our house or 1
sixth or so, and they have a pretty nice car and own a bunch of little flats
that they rent to people. The house wasn't insanely big but it was really nice
so that was cool. Unfortunately they weren't that great at actually having time
for us to visit.
For my diet and exercise let me
explain. I work out every morning and night. Monday through Saturday. In the
morning I alternate from arms and chest to abs. At night I alternate between 2
cardio work outs. One night burpies and mountain climbers, the other is running
up and down the stairs of our apartment complex. Diet-wise, I cut out most all
chocolate or treats. In the morning I eat 2 pieces of toast and an egg or two,
a really big lunch and then nothing at night. In this mission we don't eat
dinner. So missionaries usually eat at night right before bed which puts on fat
so I completely cut that out. At lunch I just eat a lot knowing that during the
long, hot day, I'll work it all off and then my nightly cardio. I drink one
coke while we are on the road to keep me going and then that's it. I used to
eat out more at restaurants but these days I cut it down to only Pday and
tuesday after district meeting. Pday is usually KFC and tuesday is a pizza
place. Its ok because usually no matter what I eat for lunch I'll work it all
of during the afternoon at work. As I get even closer to the end I will
probably start waking up even earlier and running as well to polish everything
off.
