Hey everybody,

     Sorry it's been a while since I sent a decent email.. But I had a great week this week. Elder Isoba and I have been working really hard this week and it's such a good feeling to put all of your heart and mind into serving the Lord. It's just a satisfying feeling knowing you've done all you can for these people.

     One thing that we worked really hard on this past week was finding MALE investigators...no offense to the women, but our branch is lacking Priesthood holders.. So I have been praying really hard this week to find men and it's so crazy how much the Lord hears our prayers... Some times we feel He doesn't hear our prayers because sometimes we don't receive the answer we're looking for, but in  Isa. 55:8-9 it says "His ways are higher than our ways" and that's so true.   As we went to meet with some of our girl investigators men have shown up and been interested out of nowhere. One of our new investigators is Senzo and the other Anele. Senzo is from the Shezi family and they're 7th Day members. Anele is into shows and works with DJs all the time so I guess he's kind of a big deal here in Durban, so it was cool to meet him.

      I look forward to another hard working week and seeing the progression of these guys... Also Ntomby has been going through some challenges, so we had to push her baptism to this Sunday, hopefully this time it will work out..

 Thanks so much for your prayers- I love ya.

       Love,

 Elder Thompson
