So monday went to the Bry and the ZL's were there and the AP's called the them to tell them transfer news, which i didnt think would affect me and my trainer cause your suppose to be with your trainer for two transfers, but the lord saw best that we should only be together for one. So ya me and Elder Machanzi are one and done. I now have a new comp. his name is Elder Mkhabela from South Africa. A really nice and awesome guy. He is also a very big guy. very big. But so far i can tell you that im loving serving with him. He is a powerful missionary. He has been out for 6 months. Its funny cause when we walk together people think that he is my body guard. pretty funny stuff. But in reality he is just a big teddy bear, he has a really gentle voice. And also im loving teaching with him, its really cool, just kinda feed off eachother. But its been up to me to show him the area. Its kinda scary but i havn't gotten us lost yet. But Elder Mkhabela was astonished at how big our area is. And im not gonna lie, but im proud of myself that we havn't gotten lost yet, or gotten in the wrong dollaz. But we will see about thursday, were going to a part of our area that im not to sure about but i will seek help from the lord cause i know its only him that can help me out. So ya thats been the week for me. I've been making all the appointments, leading our discussions. Kinda awesome. But luckly for me Elder Mkhabela is a quick learner and is already getting to know the area. Saturday night i took him to go eat chips Mayai, and he absoultly loves it. In fact after this we are going to get some. As for my trainer he was made a ZL in my area. So its him i have to call to tell him that we are home safe with no concerns. Yep it will take some getting used to, but it will be alright. And to answer you yes, i do iron my shirts, in fact the missionary couples just bought us a brand new one, im not gonna lie, we are spoiled here in Dar. Its really nice. But now Elder Machanzi is a ZL in our district. So i have to call in to him to tell him we are home safe and no concerns. kinda werid. But he told me that he is homesick for Changombe. And last night when i was telling about the people we saw and who came to church i think i really got him home sick for Changombe. But i will sure miss him, but its okay cause Elder Mkhabela is here and he is awesome. Im conviced he is good luck cause this last week we were able to see two people named (Raymond and Mwakalasya) that i've havet seen since i got here. And this guy Raymond i asked him why he wasnt coming to church and he told me he was to busy. But i kept digging and he told me that whenever its time for church, its time that he absoulty doesnt want to go. And i told him that, its that time you need to go to church the most! and he agreed and told me it was to hard, but i looked at with some serious intest look and made him promise me that he would come to church this week, i knew he couldnt say no. And as it turns out, he came to church yesterday. And we are meeting again with him and some of his freinds this saturday. Im pretty excited for it cause he also told me that he had an experince about when he was praying if the book of mormon was true and he told me that he felt something that he never felt before and he told me that that feeling assured him that it was true. And im not gonna lie i was way happy to hear that, i wanted to jump in the air and give him a hug, but i refrained myself. So ya pretty awesome week. And Mwakalasya we were able to visit him and we found out that his brother died last week. And he is going through a rough time. So we are trying to help him out in anyway we can. We are going over to his house tomorrow to make sure he is doing well. So ya thats pretty much it for this week. Also Elder Mkhabela loves to contact, but no one knows english, so he is learning swahili. And i can say that both our swahili skills are improving cause of alot of contacting. I really miss riding a bike, im sick of walking and riding in Dollaz. yes, i do iron my shirts, in fact the missionary couples just bought us a brand new one, im not gonna lie, we are spoiled here in Dar. Its really nice.
the animals i've seen are alot of cats, 1 or 2 dogs, and like a million chickens. CHICKENS are everywhere, its ridiculous. They wake me up at like 4 in the morning. Ah but other than that nothing really, although we have seen a few rats in our apartment, in fact one ran by my companions foot pretty intense.
Remember that you can do nothing without the Lord.
Elder Jackson
