sorry mom i live in the boonies so the internet stinks sometimes. but ya last week we had nineteen investigators at church it was awesome we had two baptisms this week they were pretty cool. Bro Mefika and Sister Khanisile. so that was good i performed the baptism for sister Khanisile. well transfers are coming up soon and i’ll most likely have a new companion so that should be cool. we are working really hard and its paying off. us and the Elders in Gege will be having nine baptisms this week should be pretty cool. ya mission is going great!!! we went to this cool place last p day called mahamba gorge and we had a cool time it was beautiful we pushed huge rocks off the cliffs it was sweet. love you.

this week has been very nice we are working hard with our recent converts. we had eleven people at sacrament meeting. And we are working very hard! we went to a game park today saw some pretty sweet critters we saw elephants, rhinos, springbucks, warthogs, and an oschrich. the oschrich ate our doritos out of our hands it was pretty sweet. im glad to hear that all is going good. well there isnt a scout program here in swaziland but that would be cool. i miss camping and stuff it was so nice to go every month when dad was the scout leader those were good times. but ya Nhlangano is a cool place to be!! well love you

   I had to teach Elders Quorum today the lesson was on family responsibilities I did an object lesson using the 25 lbs of lead I bought to weight pinewood derby cars and split it into four grocery bags, then I got four volunteers and told them to hold the bag with their upper arm by their side elbow at a ninety degree angle  which all could do easily. Then I took all the bags and gave them to Jase (Jase and Megan live in our ward now) to hold, he could do it but in a few seconds his forearm started shaking and he was starting to strain. Then we talked about families sharing the many duties that make a household run smoothly. If only one person does everything It gets to be too much, even if you could do it for a while.

Baba,
wow thats a cool object lesson we have to use those all the time when teaching because the people have a hard time understanding. i taught the lesson on preisthood offices to the investigators class at church it was a good lesson. we are teaching this lady named Khanisile and she is powerful she should be baptised on the thirty first of this month. well this computer cut my time short so i better go. love you. And YA!!

This week has been very fun we have been going all over the place.  i’m glad the roof got fixed. and i’m glad landon has made it home safe. ya it will be cool to hang with him next year but ya. we will probably still do the same things just not all the time like we used to.  we have been working hard and having a good time. we had this young boy who is eight years old ride in a taxi alone 8 kilometers to church he is a powerful little guy,  life is good i had an interview with president, and it was nice to talk to him.  mission is fine i’m doing good. 
love you  Elder Flexy
Baba,
Dad i’m glad you’ve been working hard its good to hear all is well and that the roof is finished, we are teaching some very good people and we even had one resieve an answer to her prayers through a dream it was pretty cool. but ya love you give you mor details on how that works out next time.

It’s been a year!!

Today, it has been a year since my darling missionary son, left for his mission!!
 I can’t believe it’s been a year. It usually goes by fast when it’s someone else’s missionary, but it has gone by fast for us too! He is one amazing young man. From the start he has always been so easy going. Happy a lot! Not afraid to do nerdy things, and things that are not always popular, he is also not afraid to do what’s right.  
-Flexy with his mission president and wife-
He is someone who knows who he is, and is not afraid to show it. That works out kinda nice when you are in another country, telling people about your Savior, and trying to help them make some needed changes in their life.
-Flexy at an orphanage- (darling children)
He is loving his mission
 and the experiences he is having. 
I am so glad!!
-With the other missionaries-
We are so proud of our son! 
Only one year left!!!

well i’m glad church is going good the branch i’m in now is tiny. there were sixty people there on sunday but its a really good to be here. we are working so hard and we have some awsome recent converts they are helping us so much. we have Senzo, Ayanda, Vuyani, Scelo.  the work is booming here in nhlangano.  mission is going very well we had one of the toughest fasts i’ve ever done on sunday after we finished we ate eight peices of toast and a dozon eggs just between me and Elder Smith. but mission is great the work goes well when you have member present lessons but ya i hope job hunting works out good, God will provide a way. ya its crazy i’ve been gone a year. but ya life is good. love you
Love Elder Flexy  
Baba,
well it sounds like your keeping yourself busy, ya that roof needed help even when i left it did. thats good to hear the young men are growing up i’m glad the ward is doing well. And that Bishop Fowers is still the same as when i left. life here is pretty sweet this is probably one of the more backwards places in the world but it makes it interesting. the other night we were driving in the area past a bar and this guy was getting beat up by like seven other guys it was pretty crazy but ya thats why we don’t drink RIGHT!!! ha the pasters that live near our area are so dumb they spread rumors like crazy which makes our job a little easier. but ya mission is great. Love you
Love Elder Flexy
M,

ya this week has been pretty good we taught some very prideful people and thats something i don’t enjoy. I’m beginning to be pretty quick with my scriptures almost all main doctrine points. but the other day we taught this seven day Adventist guy and he just spouts out scriptures that have nothing to do with the topic. one thing that you will find is that most religions just have one thing that they will just repeat over and over. like this guy all he cared about was that the seventh day is on saturday so we should worship on saturday and so i showed him the scripture and explained the fulfillment of the law of moses and he just was too prideful to listen. but ya mission is cool. love you

Baba,
thats cool that your still riding bikes and i haven’t driven since i came on mission for almost a year its kinda weird. thats so weird that Caleb got married i hope they continue to make good decisions. but ya mission is good i’m about ready for a new area i’ve only had two areas so far so i’m getting bored of this place. but ya we played soccer today and i did ok not way good but it was fun. so Kaden is growing up thats so cool we will chill when i get home. well thats it for the day. love you

this week has been ok, i don’t think i have ever had this many people bunk us in one week. but oh well we will keep going. ya that’s funny about Brad’s dogs there is this chihuahua that we walk past a lot and it always runs and hide from us. ya that’s crazy that Caleb is getting married. but its probably good for him. ya this sunday we had a recent convert bear his testimony it was pretty funny he talked about how he used to be a Zionist Prophet but then he found that he didn’t have authority to do that but it was pretty powerful. but anyway thats all for now. love you
