What's poppin, brand new area just hopped in.


Ya boy is now finally in Johannesburg! I'm an hour away from the office still but hey! I'm now in Tsakane, it's another ward hallelujah. And boy it's been hectic.


My posterity moves on:

I finally have a son! Not literally... that would get me sent home but I'm training! His name is Elder Marzan and he's from the Philippines. While I'm doing that I'm living in the living room of my ZLs flat whitewashing/kinda opening an area. There's 4 of us Elders in Tsakane but they are making us start our half from scratch so it's been a Grind. 


Firefighter Hennessey: 

Yeah soooo we had a braai (South African BBQ) with the Elders Quorum for an activity. It's been dry as can be here so the field is dry and dead at the chapel. And just everywhere for that matter. We went inside the chapel to pray and all that while the charcoals started up in the braai stand. We came outside to half of the field on fire! So we started gathering water to stop it. The fire took most of the field and it was fast! The field was black in minutes! It went into other people's yards too. Luckily this is SA where they burn everything so nobody batted an eye but yeah there's that for ya.


King of the Snakes:

Yeah so today we went to a snake place some members in Joburg own. Held some snakes including a massive one too. The bro even told us about some snakes that could kill you in minutes and then proceeded to take them out of the freaking boxes and show them to us! One of of them was a freaking Cobra like bro💀.


Anyways it's freaking late so I gotta hamba but I just thought I'd drop some info to prove I'm still breathing. Love you all!

  Happy Tuesday morning!! ☀️☀️ it’s a lovely day so far:) Ok! So here’s an experience I have been feeling like I want to share with you all: Maybe a week ago? Ish? I was in the temple for to do initiatories. I can’t remember if I had an appointment or I was just walking in… I think I was just walking in.  The PCC temple has a really good system for helping people who walk in w/out an appointment be able to do initiatories. However after they got my name and all that jazz they asked me to sit in the front area where the desk is instead of in the back near the booths bc the benches back there were full. This was sorta upsetting to me, I had gone that day really hoping to be able to feel the spirit. But being up there near the desk meant I had to try and tune out all the happenings and chatting there. Recently I’ve discovered that when I’m anxious I can get pretty sound sensitive. So if there’s any noise going on it can completely overwhelm me with anxious thoughts.  I start...
