Saubona!
It's been a great
week to be a missionary! This week we
were super busy with my comp doing exchanges because he's zone leader. I got to
go all over the area this week, which was cool. I was in a township called
eZakheni on Tuesday, then QuaQua on Thursday in Free State! One thing I love
about getting to go on exchanges is I get to meet other missionaries and see
how everyone else does their thing. Everyone has a different personality and I
know the Lord uses that to His advantage. Different people are able to connect
with different people, if you get what I'm trying to say? haha
We got to see the
Baatjies family again this week, which me and my comp were really looking
forward to! We really think they have potential, sadly they were really busy
and things and weren't able to make it to church, but we were able to read the
Book of Mormon with them as a family. I know that the BOM blesses families. I
can't picture this life without it, I know it really has been a guide in my
life and I can see that as people read from it their testimonies are bound to
grow. I wish I would have appreciated the Book of Mormon more when I was home,
but at least I know now how special it is. I know there won't be a day in my
life where I can go without it's guidance and the strength I get from reading
it.
I got to see some
pretty cool animals this week too, so that was fun! Hopefully they send... this
internet shop is a little sketch I'll try my best! But I hope you all have a
great week and don't forget to read your scriptures (:
Love,
