Whats good fam?
     This week was kinda exciting because the zone leaders were able to come to our area and go on splits with us! They are really good guys and I got to go with Elder Ottley from Idaho. He's a cowboy and it was good to be able to learn a bit from him and show him the miracles we've been having in our area. I also was able to go on exchanges with the Elders in our district, Elder Macapella who's being trained. He's from Cape Town, and is a really good guy. It's amazing how fast he's progressed, I feel like it took me a lot longer to get comfortable, but we aren't all the same I guess haha!
     Some things to follow up on, Zinhle smashed it on her talk, she was kinda reading it at first, but then she really just looked up and started talking. It's crazy how humble we become when we truly repent. She spoke about the plan of happiness and how she's made mistakes in her life and ended up as a single mother, but how God is still mindful of her and her situation. It really touched me. Anyway after church we got to take the sacrament to one of my fav gogo's gogo, Mngadi. She was in tears of gratitude as we took it to her because she has a bad leg and can't come to church.  I think I really took these Priesthood responsibilities for granted at home, but I am grateful to be able to bless the Sacrament and bring the healing that comes from partaking it to others.
     We have a big week this week too! District conference (New Castle, Madadeni 1, 2 and 3 , and Dundee) and Zone Conference. I'm excited for those things, except I have to speak at zone conf,  which I'm not too excited about to be honest. I will be speaking on Communications between companions! Also 5 of our investigators will be interviewed for baptism on Thursday, and baptized on the 23rd! It's so cool to finally have progressing investigators and I'm just really thankful that the Lord is blessing this area right now.
     That's about it for the Dundizzle! Love you,
Bless up
