Hey guys
Once again thanks for all your emails they really help a lot and it’s
nice to hear from you all, but don’t forget a Missionary’s favorite thing is actual mail, so find a missionary and
write to them regularly it can get lonely out here on a mission especially in strange lands, even thought were busy
we miss you all.
So this week has been really busy, because I and my new companion Elder
Stephens are opening up a new area, there are lots of contacting and door
knocking, but we have had lots of success.
We came across a man who lives in the township among the poor
people, but he is stinking rich, he has just brought a mine for 80 million
rand, but he helps everyone , he is very charitable, he will give people 1000
rand without even asking why, he is a
very nice guy
We also went into a house where
they have a church behind their house and we taught them and they seem very
interested in what we have to teach so hopefully we will be able to teach them
everything.
And the 2 girls who stay there as
soon as they heard we were from America and England, they went crazy and wanted
our autographs, so that was interesting.
We are doing a lot of less active
work here which is good but everyone says yeah I will 100% be there Sunday but
no one turns up : Like I said we are doing a lot of track ting but not much
success.
This Friday gone (22 Nov) we got to go to the Johannesburg
Temple and did a session which was a wonderful experience, we got to see the
new film, it is such a beautiful temple on the outside and inside is also very
beautiful. I really hope I get to go again sometime.
Also on Sunday we had a baptism and we have another one scheduled for
next Sunday, so that's really good:
The area I'm in is really nice
and the people are really nice too, there is a lady called sister Motingoe's
and whenever you turn up she will feed u which is so kind of her.
We are having a lot more DA's which I am really grateful for I
did not expect the people here to do that for us and it is good, as it
saves us money. Even though the people are so poor they are so generous and
kind
Also there are a lot of branch missionaries so we always have someone
with us.
I really love my mission and I love where I am serving,
I now know why it’s called the
best 2 years.
Love you Guys
Elder Turney
