Ke Nako!

This week the World Cup 2010 in South Africa started! KE NAKO! It was fun! We watched the opening game at the church! The church leaders were all doubting Thomases when we presented this activity to them, but it went so well! We had around 70 plus people in attendance! It was awesome! It went much better than any of us expected! People came, enjoyed, brought food, and all had a good time, and it was a great game! President Poulsen told us we had to be neutral during the world cup games, but I couldn’t help but cheer for the South Africa team. It was a blast. Man, I miss watching sports so bad! It had been over a year since I’ve watched a sporting event, and I forgot how much I love it! It was awesome! We also watched the game on Saturday between Nigeria and Argentina, and so far my favorite player is Messi from Argentina. He is good! These activities are great though. I get to watch soccer, and the members and the investigators really bond and get to know each other and are forming friendships. The best of both worlds! I am so glad president said we could do that! If we weren’t able to do these activities, than missionary work would probably stop during this month because we aren’t really allowed to proselyte during game times. Needless to say, I am having a lot of fun! At church this week we had a whole family come, that we have been trying to get to come for months. The mother has come many times, but never with the father, and this week he came with her and their child! It was amazing, and he is so excited to come to church and watch the world cup! I am so happy for them! They are amazing! I am very sad to be getting transferred out of this area in two weeks! I will finally be leaving GWEST the ward I have been serving in my entire mission! Over a year now! It finally happened, I will be serving in the other ward! Crazy! It will be difficult to leave my gwest family behind, but I am excited to make new relationships with those in the broadhurst ward and serve them with all of my heart might mind and strength, just as I have in the Gwest ward. But I think at this point my heart will always be in gwest. I love it. I love the people. Leaving is not easy. Good thing it is only across town, and I will still see these people occasionally! Well, that is the news for this week! Enjoy the world cup! Ke nako! I know I will enjoy it this side!!!!
