10/21/2019 -- The Legendary Elder Benson

10/20
"The Legendary Elder Benson"

Well, my legend continues to spread among the members of the Kayole 2nd Ward. Specifically within two families, but all the same, it's spreading.

When I arrived here I met two Ward Missionaries: Cynthia and Maria, both of whom went home and told their families that I was super funny. Separately.

So when I met Maria's younger sister -Rose- she mentioned my legend to me and told me that it was true since I was "so funny."

Well great, I thought to myself, I've got a small reputation now. Well, it went further than I thought.

Apparently, Cynthia went home and told her mother the same thing, so when we went to visit them today the mother stops at one point during the visit and turns to her daughter to tell her that she was right about how funny I was, letting me know that my influence was spreading without my knowledge.

At this rate, I might be able to be a comedian.

As for the rest of today, Sister Emmaqulate was baptized without any issues (E. Mukendi almost dunked himself as well; apparently, the bottom of the font was slick) and we visited the first counselor: Brother Zachus. Zach for short. He tried to kill us with food. I told him I was done, he told me to keep going.

Overall, it was a really good day, great way to end the transfer.

10/21
Well, our flat is a four man now. We've got Elder Macapella (from SA, Cape Town Area) and Elder Madsen (From Utah, USA). We're all trying to make the best of the situation, but there's no room for them both, at most this is comfortably a three man flat, not four. Fun, fun, fun.

Nothing else much today, Cybered and Called home.
