Learned to be a plumber and I am moving area

Again another p-day and another transfer gone. This is my 3rd one now, one more then it will be 6 months! Which is scary to think about!!

Main news this week:

Yes I am leaving the area! :( I got a call on Saturday, looked at the phone and it was President Dunn, like oh snap. I'm whitewashing an area (start from the beginning) My companion Elder Bonifaz is going to be training a new missionary. Another guy in the district, Elder Zitumane, is becoming a District Trainer (DT) and his companion is also training in Klerksdorp.

I'm going to a Zulu township, called Rabbie Ridge, out in Centurion with an Elder Samuel (who I've never met) from the islands, but apparently he's a nice guy so we shall see. It will be interesting starting an area from the beginning. It will be good to come in with fresh ideas and help the local area. My first time leaving an area and going to a new one so I'm excited to see what will happen. I'm leaving tomorrow, and I haven't started packing yet :P So I'll be up late tonight!
The main positive about getting transferred is that I get to go to the temple on Friday! Which I am very excited for because I love to go to the temple!

I am gonna miss the people here, especially the members, because they are really nice. One of the investigators as well, Christinah, she thanked me for all that I did and it was very touching and really nice to see. Gotta write it in my journal.

Crazy thing, from no water last week to too much. Our toilet wasn't 100% so one of the senior couples came out to fix it and they replaced a part on it. After much craziness of trying to turn the water off, the caretaker being out of town, Elder Wells letting me drive his bakkie around the complex!!!!!! I drove a bakkie, very proud of myself.

We fixed it and that was that. That night I got to bed at 10:30, then I'm woken up by Elder Bonifaz at 11:30, a noise had woken him up, as it turns out, by fixing the toilet, the pipe that is the water inlet for the toilet (thankfully not the outlet) had sprung a leak, so for a whole hour it was spraying water out, and when he woke up the bathroom, half the bedroom, the living area and half the kitchen (our flat isn't big, 3 rooms) were about half an inch or a little less of water....... we try to shut off the toilet but it was still leaking a little. We stay up for 3 hours and try to do our best then we call the ZLs (at 2 in the morning he he he he, it's okay Elder Asay is going home tomorrow) and we were determined to just wait out the night. 

But I can't get to sleep, so I have to get up every 30 mins to an hour to empty the bucket that is collecting a small trickle of water. I do it about 5 times then fall asleep and Elder Bonifaz does it another two times. We go to the shop, get a new pipe, put it on ourselves! and then start trying to get the water out the flat. We started at 7 and finished around 12. I only got 3 hours sleep that night so it was an interesting day.

Not much else really but some great lessons, and 58 people at church with a baptism! Here is a picture of the font used.

Don't know what to expect from this transfer, first time going to a new area but I will go where the lord needs me. kinda nervous and exciting.
Not much else this week. We had exchanges with the district and i got Elder Kilgore, who's a really sweet guy from Idaho.

One of the great experiences this week was the fact that we met a guy last week when trying to see an investigator we tracted into. She wasn't there (surprise surprise) but her brother was. So we talked to him and he agreed to let us come over and talk to him. We make and appointment and we go back to low and behold, no one. So we are about to go to our dinner appointment on Thursday, but he have 30 mins spare, so I say let's just swing by. So we do and amazingly he is there, with his girlfriend. They let us in, we teach a short lesson and they agree for us to come back! it was a really great visit. They are Methodists so I got to relate because my nana and grandad were :P

Well I will really miss this first area of mine but life goes on I guess.

Love you all.


Elder Jorgensen :) xx
