Birthday in Africa‏

Note: Elder Hawk's and Elder Majawa's Birthdays are on March 13th, the day before this was sent. Just posted a bit late due to "mom" being out of town.


Afoyo!

What a week. Not really. It was a pretty slow week when it came to the work. Some of the investigators that seemed to have a lot of potential are starting to be somehow fake. I hope that they will recommit themselves to listen and follow the message. We also did a lot of finding. Found some good potential families. We are seeing one this evening that are married so we hope all goes well with that. One of our investigators had a baby last week so its hard to get her to come to church for awhile. She is also super stubborn. Her name is Pauline and her husband is Francis. He seems to be responding well and would probably have a baptismal date if his wife wasn't dragging her feet. They are super smart and are married! Also this week we saw two different people who had monkeys for a pet. I got a picture of one of them. It's kind of weird looking to be honest. (picture below)

Well, yesterday was my birthday, and also the Sabbath. I gave a talk and taught the gospel principles class. Something crazy is that me and my companion have the same birthday!!! Probably the coolest thing ever. Talk about comp unity. We went to Jimmy and Phoebe's house and they surprised us with dinner!!  We had beef, Irish (potatoes), and rice. It was way good! Then we came home and the Taylor's made us a cake so the whole zone got some cake and ice cream. It was a pretty awesome birthday.

Well, not much else to report. I hope you all had a great week. I love you all. As for me, I'm just living the dream here in Africa. Nowhere else I would rather be. Missionary work is the work for me.

Mar, Elder Hawk


You know you're in Africa when people dump water on you for your Birthday (unless you dodge it).
