Wassup-
This week was
very nice and it is starting to warm up already, so I'm very scared for what
summer will bring.. haha!
Anyway just a
weeks rundown:
Monday: Went on a
dope hike with Elders from my group (Legas and Lowe) Parsons and some other Elders
from around. It was beautiful and we got to see all kinds of animals! We also discovered as we were walking through
the grass we all had about a million ticks on our bodies so we had to get all
of those off somehow.. Then we did a real "fire" side. We bought the
ingredients for smores for the members in our branch and showed them how to
make them. We also had kind of a testimony meeting and the spirit was very
strong.
Tuesday-Friday:
Taught our investigators and visited less actives. Our main investigator is
Londeka we went and saw her Wednesday and we notice this HUGE cut on her leg!!
She tried to climb over her gate and fell and her leg got caught in the gate,
so if you get sick looking at blood don't look at the picture haha! I pulled
out my inner doctor Thompson and wrapped it up! But the sad news with her is
she's ready for baptism but moving to Durban for work, but says she'll be back
on weekends for church so we're still trying to figure out what will work best
for her. We also have Olwethu an
KG that are our main investigators. It's amazing how we've been led and guided
and opened our mouths to talk to people how much we've met people who have met
with missionaries before and want to meet with them again! Then, we had
interviews with President Thompson on Thursday. It was a good time to reflect
on how much I've grown over the past few months and yet how much more I would
love to change! One of the most important lessons I've learned while on my
mission is the ability to change. We change as we're obedient to Gods
commandments, as we show him we love him (John 14:15) He shows us he loves us
by blessing us (: I know that each one of us is loved so very much by God and
he is more than willing to help us change if we turn to him!
Saturday-Sunday:
Played soccer on Saturday morning with the branch and some of their friends.
Which was awesome, we also got a few less actives to come and then they showed
up at church!! Then we went to the orphanage and taught them about Noah and the
ark and played some games! It was a great week I also received a letter from
Rocky! Ahhh I love those guys I know they're killin it all over the world!!
Fine 9 For life.
Bless up,
Elder Thompson
