Sick....

Hello one and all, how are you all this week!!!??? Lekker?

 

Well, for me this week was a weird one...I got sick.

 

I got some bug in me on Tuesday night and had the flu for about three days...it wasn't fun I tell ya!!!

Luckly on Friday I got post...a package for Easter and a letter from Chelly!!! Yay for letters!!!!

 

So with that, I don't have much to report on.

 

Melissa and Micheal got interviewed for baptism and they both passed and this coming sunday they will enter the waters...I'm stoked!!

 

And they are going to have me do the Baptism...scary but pretty cool...I'm stoked!!! Hopefully everything goes well and wonderful, I'll let you know.

 

ONe thing that I did this weeked was watch conference, boy it was one of my favorite so far!!!  I have never taken so much out of conference than I did with this one!  My favorite part was the priesthood session, had some of my favorite talks in it....and Pres. Eyring got a little humours there at the beginning of his talk, made me laugh so hard.  ONe talk that I just loved was that of Richard G. Scott,  I always love his talks but for some reason, this one was really great...he really loved his wife and you can see it in his face.

 

I'm doing much better now and feeling about 98% so that's good...I hope that everyone had a fabulous week and hope that this week will be better.  Next week for me is transfers and that means change...I don't think I'm moving though so We'll see but you won't know for another two weeks haha.

 

I hope that you know I love you guys!!!!!

STAY STRONG

Miss you all but send CANDY

Hello all!!! Monday again?!  I miss you all, I do I do!

 

This week has been a great week. Not because amazing things happened but just because I was serving the Lord!!!!

 

I have yet to see general conference but I hear it was great from a few people :)

 

I'll see it this weekend for sure though.

 

I've met some great people this past week, a young couple with a baby on the way that are having us for dinner tomorrow, just some great young people that hopefully will accept the Gospel!!

We are going to have a baptism in a couple weeks for Melissa and Micheal Botha, they are progressing really well!!! I might be baptizing them, we'll see though!

They had us over dinner last night, just a wonderful family...and gospel just makes them so much better!!!

 

Another update is on Reon, he's doing great, progressing pretty well.  He came to church yesterday and highly enjoyed it.  We're just working with some great people lately!!!

 

I'm doing awesome, got a lovely package this past friday with some goodies in them that are quickly being consumed...thanks Clovis and Kinley!!! Candy is a great thing to receive in a box....just saying. :)

 

I'm learning a lot out here, almost nine months already?  This time is passing too quickly.

 

My heart is with you all...have a great week!!!


Elder Naylor.

 

 

 

P.S. I'm doing bad on pictures this week and last....sorry :(

WOWOWOWOWOW

Had a dream last night...I got home and Clifford was a mess...had so much junk downloaded onto it and it was in bad condition.  Yes, I worry about a lot of important things while out here on mission.

 

My week has been good.  We had some great success at church this past Sunday (So yesterday)

We had a total of seven investigators there.  Incredible, a record for Bellville in a while!!!

 

Some other things that have happened to me is that we have been having some great appointments with all of our "Golden investigators"

 

Reon, remember him? Well he's back now and we are teaching him again.  While he was in Joburg he forgot his Book of Mormon in Cape Town so he went to the temple and bought himself one!!!  Talk about determination.  He's a great guy, just love working with him.

 

We also are working with the Botha's...they are progressing really quick, yesteray they finally cmae to church for all three meetings.  President and Sister Probst are going to come with us tomorrow to visit them...I'm a little nervous but I'm sure that everything will go well.

 

I don't have any real cool stories this week, sorry.  Nothing big has happened lately.  It is getting colder each day here, winter is just around the corner!!!  I'll have to find a jacket to wear soon....but we still get some sunny days!!!

 

Sorry that this email is short, I just don't have much to report on this week.  I'm doing just wonderful...sometimes mission gets rough with the whole doing the same thing everyday but it is so worth it when you have those great lessons or find those prepared people!!!

 

I'm so happy to have the knowledge that I do have and I am thankful for this gospel!!!!

 

I keep all of you in my prayers and I think of you guys often...keep well and enjoy life!!

Love you!!!

....another week.

well, here I am once again. Another week down and many to go.  Well not as many as last week...hmmm.

 

This past week has been a good one, we were able to have a baptism yesterday, a recent convert's two kids got baptized...one was eight and the other was ten.  They were super excited and thankfully everything went well.  It made me happy to see those kids so eager to be baptized...great family and I love working with them. 

 

Another thing that happened this week was Zone conference...we mainly talked about how we need not to compare ourselves to others and how we must try our hardest and keep our spirits high....it was something that I really needed to hear!  We watched a cheesy, yet wonderful video called "You are Special"....I liked it a lot even though it was a little wierd...look it up on youtube if you get the chance.

 

At Zone conference I ran into a familiar face...a certain missionary with the name Elder Bangerter. Thought I might go my whole mission without seeing him! (this is a big mission...that could happen).  Anyways, it was really good seeing a face from home.  He's on his way to Namibia so who knows when the next time that I will see him!!!

 

 

For the most part, the wek went well...no big complaints really.  Tomorrow I turn eight months on mission...can you believe it?!?!  It has gone too quick.  But I have enjoyed the learning experiance.

  

 

Sorry if this is short, but there isn't much to report on....I'm having a great time and I keep you all in my prayers!!!!

I love you guys so much!!!

Haircut, Cake, and Pictures!!

Well, another week down. Can you believe it?

I'm here and well and doing fine and happy and smiling and laughing and enjoying this part of my life.

As I mentioned last week, it was transfers and just like I thought....I stayed in Bellville. And my companion? It stayed the same as well...Elder Nielsen.  Looks like we get to keep doing some good work together in this part of the world.  And boy do we have some good things ahead of us.

This week we met with a part member family named the Botha's.  The mother is a member and her kids have never been baptized because the father was against it, but now they are old enough and have decided that they want to decide for themselves if all this stuff is true.  The boy is named Micheal and he is 20 years old, going to university to be something with construction.  The girl is Michelle and she is 17 years old, still in high school.  They both are really wanting to be baptized...we met with them last night and gave them a baptism date for the last sunday in  April.  Micheal responded with "As in this year?" haha, we all had a good laugh about that but yes, this year as in next month!!! It's really great to be working with them and preparing them for this major step in their life. I'm excited.

So that was the major highlight of the work pertaining to missionary work.

In other aspects of my life, last monday we went to Green Market Square which is in Central Cape Town.  Man, I love city life...it was so exciting to be in Cape Town...very beautiful city...I wish I could explore it more!  Green Market Square is a place where a bunch of merchants are selling souvenirs...mostly African things. Nothing caught my eye, meaning I didn't buy anything, It was still fun to go and look at all the stuff.

Another cool thing that happened this week is that I let Elder Nielsen give me a haircut. It didn't turn out that bad though it was shorter than we both imagined.  I haven't had it this short in YEARS.  It's nice I guess...I might just keep it like this for a while, we'll see. So that's the news in the hair department :)

Our car has been having some trouble lately...A/C went out and the coolant has been leaking.  We have been keeping it cool with water until the shop will look at the car on wednesday....they won't look at it on the spot, you need an appointment.

I finally got around to making my birthday cake!!! I have been so busy lately...but I finally did it! It turned out wonderful and tastes wonderful!!! Thanks!!!

Well, I think that is all I can think of.  

I love you.

You're the best.
