Happy Birthday to the best bud Koby!!
Happy birthday to the United States of America!
     Oway Oway!!
     Howzit?? This week the red sea didn't part like last week, but we've seen miracles for sure! It's a very exciting time to be in Dundee and in our district for that much, our district is doing the best in the whole mission!  We're very lucky to be in this area at this time and I'm thankful for a companion that will work hard too, I've been really lucky to get hard working companions.
     This week we have been trying to work on those investigators that we have and to progress them in the gospel! It's always good to have people to teach and this week we had lots of people, so we stayed very busy. We should have at least 6 baptisms at the end of this transfer and hopefully more! It's crazy how much the Lords missionaries are led to those who are prepared.
     Some highlights from this week are
-We got to teach the "fav fam" (the Kanihla family) we taught them the restoration and the Book of Mormon and you can tell the things there are very new for them but I hope and pray they will seek the truth for themself.  The kids love us so much there they ask if we can sleep over hahah or play soccer with them like everyday it's funny!
     -Zinhle, who has been less-active for over a year, came the last 2 weeks in a row and bore her testimony that she knows and has known the church is true this whole time. She's giving a talk next week.
     Something else I heard this week from a John Bytheway talk was from Nephi in chapter 11 when he is visited by an angel. The angel asks him "do you know the condescension of God" (I don't even know what that word means) but I love Nephi's response, "Nay I don't know all things, but I know GOD LOVES HIS CHILDREN" I add my testimony to Nephi's that I may not know all things, but I do know that God loves me and ALL his children! Have a great week love ya'll!
     Bless up
