"Alright check it out" - How I Beat Shaq by
Aaron Carter haha what’s good fam??? It sounds like it was a great week for
everyone! First, Teagan I am so happy to see the pictures from your baptism!
You looked great and I hope it was a special day for you! Also, s/o to Phank
and Brod for throwing down at the basketball camp. Lane congrats on the big
championship. It is my favorite part of the week to hear how everyone is doing
and it looks like everyone is doing so great.
So this week was a great week. Started with a dope 4th
of July BBQ up in Ezulwine. Big ol ups to Elder and Sister Martins for all they
do for us down here in Swazi! We had a good time eating hamburgers, teaching
the Brazilians a lil something about REAL football and playing the capture the flag.
The highlight of the week though was the baptism we
had for Nkhosingiphile. It was one of the coolest baptismal services I have
been to on my mission. It was very small and spiritual. It is the greatest
sight to see someone come out of the waters of baptism with nothing but a smile
on their face. He asked that Elder Baker to baptize him and for me to confirm
him. It was weird doing it in English, but it was a special weekend. After the
service on Saturday, we enjoyed Fanta Pineapple and a thick ol chocolate cake
that Elder Souza and I baked. My cake reputation is getting out tho... I had
everyone asking me to bake them cakes at church on Sunday.
Elder Souza and I also had a great week of finding.
With a lot of knocking of apartments we found a super nice family, Arlindo and
Sandra. They are Mozambican but have lived in Swazi since 86'. They have a big
family with 5 kids and they have been nothing but great to teach. Their 11-year-old
daughter, Jennifer has maybe hit me up with some of the best questions I have
heard on my mission. So we are hoping and praying that they continue to
progress.
Other than that the week was normal. Helping members
in the Branch wash clothes, clean their yards and water their plants. The
subject of this email makes no sense but I am going in order with the Rules of
Zombieland haha the bathrooms here are actually pretty nice. We did find out
that our area would be splitting for the rest of this transfer. So with losing a couple of good investigators
and future baptisms there it will all be good cause Elder Souza and I have been
working a lot in the areas that we will be keeping. Thank you to the Spirit on that one.
I hope everyone has a great week! Love and miss all of
you!
Love,
Elder Darrell aka Elder Chipman
