Shared 2/16/15 - Hoopoe Falls, Soccer game in Durban, and cooking food
Ngolambile... Uguphi lokudla?
Sho sho madoda!
Ok that one's just kinda slang... Like you meet a gogo or whatever in
the township and you'll be all formal and say, "Sawubona! Unjani?" And
that's cool. But if you meet one of your mfowethus (brothers), it's
just, "Sho sho!" But that's just how I'm feelin' today. Kinda slang.
Today has rocked, but it's leaving me super short amounts of time to
email so I'll try and be brief.
Man today was a p-day for the books... We drove down to Margate for a
zone activity. Hiked this super beautiful gorge called... Oribi? I
think that was it. Anyway. Super cool hike. Beautiful view. We didn't
get eaten by lions. Spent some good time bonding with the zone. Life
is good.
It's been a week full of exchanges... First off was with Elder Wilson,
and man... It's about flippin' time we end up on exchanges! Serving
with someone from your graduating class and spending our whole day
talking about Cam Cam and Beto's and Club Chev... It's enough to trunk
someone out, but we're keeping strong! No joke. Our exchange we worked
flippin' hard. Taught some powerful lessons. Found a couple solid new
people. Had smiles on our faces the whole time. There's something
about teaching and working in unity, and a little bit of hard work...
If you do that and add the Spirit in there, you'll do what the Lord
needs you to do.
My other exchange was with Elder Hammon, and we were just busting up
laughing the whole time... The last time we were on exchanges we had
to drive to Durban because someone left a suit jacket in our car. This
week, our car battery became finished...and we had to drive to Durban
to get it replaced. And when you're in Durban, it's not like you can
just not go to the House of Curries... So we got to enjoy a nice meal
together both times. There's something about having good conversations
with friends over a nice meal... I don't think there's anything better
we could have done with the couple hours robbed from us by car issues.
One thing I love about Elder Hammon is that he understands this work
is a work of love. The people him and his companion teach feel the
love of the missionaries. I think we can forget sometimes that the
people we're teaching aren't just baptismal statistics... They're
people. Probably more than wanting to know if the Book of Mormon is
the word of God or that Joseph Smith was a propet they want to feel
loved.
Hmmm... What else has been going on this week... Elder Rowley and
Elder Paige had done some AWESOME work in this area, and four of the
people they found are getting baptized this coming week. Pretty
exciting! I'll talk a bit more about them next week when I have a
little more time.
I've refined my definition of what makes someone "prepared" for the
gospel a good number of times... And I've finally settled on one word:
humble. Unless a person is humble, they will not be able to accept the
gospel, no matter what angle you look at it from. It's tough to keep
the faith to find sometimes, but man... This week our faith was
boosted. Elder Aman'galia and I were doing some tracting in AA
section, and after a couple no thank yous, a brother named Thami let
us into his home. He allowed us to sit down, to share a little bit
about the Book of Mormon with him, pray with him, and at the end... He
told us how happy he was that we had come by. He was sincere. And when
we came by later in the week, he thanked us again for our visit. It's
tough to find someone like that. I hate chasing after people that run
away from us. So it's reassuring to find that there really are humble
people out there. Thank you, Thami!
We had interviews this week, and man... Big Z completely threw me off
guard! I was full on expecting to talk about missionary work... And we
did, for part of it. Most of it was about school and the future and
stuff. I dunno if his plans were to like make me trunky for the rest
of the day... If it was, it worked! Don't worry though, that evening
we had a birthday braai for Sister Mcanyana, so it was an OK time to
be trunky and Elder Aman'galia and I are definitely back in the swing
of things. Oh yeah... Elder Aman'galia and the Z Man talked about
marriage in their interview. So it was a mutually trunky rest of the
day. But hey... That translates to companionship unity, and miracles
happen when you're unified! Man... Five more months. Where did the
last 19 go? Time flies.
One last quick thought. I really like our district meetings. There's
something about a whole district of missionaries rallying around
thoughts and ideas that will help people accept the gospel and be
happy... Unity in doing some good in the world. Those are the times
that are the best on mission.
Things are good. A couple exchanges to look forward to this week.
Another with Elder Childs. That makes... Exchange number five? Maybe
six? With him, in five or six different areas. We've never been
companions, but... We kind of have in a way.
Until next time!
Sala kahle, stay positive, love your lives my friends.

Shared 2/9/15 - Fire clean up, soccer, and a snake
BRT. FU JS-H & BoM.
Sanbonani!
Man, I was looking at my planner earlier this week and I realized just
how much I've started to use abbreviations... I dunno if it's a good
thing or a bad thing. Like my subject line was our whole plan for a
recent convert the other night. Just a couple letters but I know
exactly what it means. "Build a relationship of trust. Follow up on
reading from Joseph Smith History and the Book of Mormon." I guess
it's kind of a parable or a form of symbolism, eh? Or maybe I'm just
lazy. One of the two.
Man... This was one of those weeks I really felt the Spirit's guidance
and witnessed a number of good things happen because of it. It started
with zone training meeting. I had a lesson prepared on spirituality
and obedience, but the couple days before the meeting I was feeling
nervous, anxious, not sure how it was going to go. But the day before,
the thought came to me to shift the focus of the lesson from obedience
to teaching. As I decided to do that tonight, I was at peace. Zone
training meeting went well, and one of the missionary's we've been
most concerned with came up to me afterwards, put his arm around me,
and said what a great meeting it was. He's been on a streak of
disobedience his whole mission and is notorious for his "I do what I
want" attitude. After the meeting, though, and a few words from the Z
man, he's gone through somewhat of a transformation. He's told Elder
Aman'galia that he just wants to work hard. He's not perfect yet, but
he's trying. And I think that's all we can ask for. There are
missionaries still struggling, but hey... I think we did at least a
little bit of good.
We've had time to follow up on some contacts this week. I learned back
in Stanger... That contacting a bunch of people is one thing.
Following up on them is another thing. You can contact 928347 people,
but if you don't follow up with any of them... Ah, it's for nothing.
We saw some good come from it, too. It's tough to find babas that will
let you teach them about the Book of Mormon, but we found one this
week! They're out there... You just have to do a bit of searching.
We meet a good amount of intoxicated people. One of them this week is
named Albert, but we just call him Hamba. He walked in on a lesson
last week, and when Elder Aman'galia was telling him goodbye ("hamba
kahle" in Zulu), he came and corrected him. "Hhhhhamba! You must
emphasize the hhhhh! Hhhamba!" He even started waving his hands
around. It was comical. We're just hoping we can find him sober.
We've been working at Brother Bunny's a lot this week. We've
essentially demolished the top floor that was burnt in preparations
for rebuilding. It's sad how much was last. We've been loading rubble
into a dumpster, and amidst it we've been finding old pictures...
Salvaging what we can. "It's all up in flames," he keeps saying with
an unsettled look on his face. Pictures of missionaries from the 80s
or 90s judging by their haircuts and glasses... Man. But he's strong.
He's moving forward.
Zulu names are super cool because they all have meanings behind them.
Like Nqobizizwe. It translates in English to "Conqueror of Nations."
Honestly... How sick is that?! Mom and Dad why was I not named
Conqueror of Nations Johnson?! But it's funny... People will ask me,
"What does your surname mean?" I tell them it means my dad's name is
John. But then that doesn't explain why Kiley and Biz's surnames
aren't Cheriedaughter. Hmmm...
I think I found part of the sealed portion of the Book of Mormon this
week... 5th Nephi. Here's what it says:
1. What man is there of you, who, if his son ask coffee, will give him
Coca Cola?
2. Or if he ask for Dr. Pepper, will give him tea?
3. If ye then can distinguish between hot drinks and cold, why then
refrainest thou from drinking from the Fountain of Living Waters, even
Coca Cola?
4. Know ye not that is written, hot drinks are not for the body and belly?
5. Wherefore, be diligent in keeping the commandments of the Lord, but
createst thou not thine own commandments. Amen.
It came just in time, too... Elder Wilson was mentioning how it's been
a while since he had a Coke. "Since before you joined the Church?"
asked a member. "...something like that," said Elder Wilson.
So! What lies ahead this week? Exchanges up the wazoo... District
activity at Moses Mabhida! Watching Amazulu take on the Pirates! Woot
woot! Interviews... Aaaand some more of doing the Lord's work.
Life is good. Things are going great here. I'm happy. Good things are
happening. The gospel is true as ever. Things are just great.
Sala kahle, stay positive, and love your lives my friends.
Much love,
Umdala Johnson

Shared 2/1/15 - Umlazi - View from my boarding
Walkin' in a winter wonderland...
Sanbonani!
Guys... Winter is back. It's been summer most of the week, but man...
Winter hit Umlazi hard this weekend. We weren't prepared for it. We
went to the area without sweaters and we suffered, baba. They say
global warming is happening... Haibo. There's no way. It was all the
way down in the low 70s. Off went the fans at night and on came the
blankets. Please keep Elder Aman'galia and I in your prayers, along
with the rest of Umlazi. Otherwise we might die of frostbite. If this
is my last email to you guys, Blake, you can have my guitar. Kiley,
you can have my ukulele. Biz, you can have the cat (sorry, I ran out
of instruments and the drum set isn't mine to give away).
Ah... But other than that, this week has been a good one! It got off
to kind of a weird start though...
MLC...eish, usually I love MLC. But this round, it was just...
Different. I dunno. I kept telling Elder Aman'galia that MLC is one of
the best parts of being a zone leader. But both of us walked out of it
just kinda... Confused. That might be the right word. We felt like
there was a lack of unity amongst a couple of the leaders. A few
people trying to drive their own agendas. It really brought to life
something Joseph Smith wrote as he was in Liberty Jail:
"We have learned by sad experience that it is the nature and
disposition of almost all men, as soon as they get a little authority,
as they suppose, they will immediately begin to exercise unrighteous
dominion."
It's sad... Pride is something we all have to beware of. The powers of
heaven can only be operated by a humble, righteous people. Otherwise,
the Spirit withdraws, as we witnessed in that meeting. It gave us
something to ponder, at least. And we did learn some great things as
well. The Z man wants us focusing on improving our teaching skills
this transfer. He led a discussion about some of the teachers and
leaders each of us look up to. Somehow, Elder Francom always seems to
get mentioned in these types of discussions. He was one of the
greats... You don't meet too many like him.
The week followed with some great experiences. We've been talking to a
lot of people this week and have had some great conversations. While
walking through M section, we found a bunch of kids doing flips and
tricks and gymnastics and such... And they couldn't have been more
than five or six years old! The one leading them was a high school
kid, and we made a deal with him that if he taught us how to flip and
stuff, we'd share a bit about Jesus Christ with him. So we're looking
forward to following up with him this week! We met a man named Vusi,
too. What an interesting background he has... He's an actor, and was
telling us that back in the 80s he was in a touring company performing
Macbeth. They traveled all over Europe, and, you guessed it... Even to
America! He talked about New York and told us how he doesn't like the
city. He's looking to retire to an open land just outside of
Newcastle. He gladly accepted a copy of the Book of Mormon and a few
chapters to read. Man... It's amazing how warm and accepting people
are after you've gotten to know them a bit.
We started teaching a brother this week named Punky Mthembu, and he's
the cousin to someone in the bishopric. He stays right by the chapel
and just randomly showed up to church last Sunday. We've taught him
this week, and he accepted the invitation to be baptized! Our question
has been... Why wasn't he a referral forever ago?! Yoh, members...
They have prepared people that need to be taught, but they don't
realize it! Guess that means we need to work with them a bit more this
transfer, hey?
But we have been trying! We got to work with brother Nkanyiso Miya
this Saturday, and what a joy that was. He came to a few lessons with
us, and thanked us profusely afterwards for the opportunity. I kinda
thought it should be the other way around. His contributions to the
lessons were inspired. His experiences around his conversion are
unique to him, and his testimony touched the hearts of more than a
couple people. The best part is, he came as himself. T- shirt and
shorts. Which I love. People we're teaching need to realize that the
Church is more than just guys in shirts and ties... We're real people!
We bumped in to another member that was giving him a hard time for not
teaching in a shirt and tie with us, but we backed him up. I think he
appreciated that.
I had a revelation this week that I need to take learning Zulu a bit
more seriously. So I've started that and it's going slow... But it's
going. Ngizama ukufunda isiZulu. Kancane kancane. I got some tips from
Elder Petrie. He's in my group and man... He's fluent! I told him my
goal is to talk to him at our going home dinner in Zulu. Watch out
Zulu nation, here I come!
I cut my hair again this week. It's not quite the same as a haircut
from mama... But it gets the job done. I think if I ever open a barber
shop at home I'm gonna call it Hair Traffic Control.
What have we got ahead of us this week... Zone training, meeting with
Elder and Sister Snell to explore doing an employment workshop in
Umlazi, and work work work... Should be a good week!
Until next time...
Sala kahle, stay positive, love your lives my friends.
