Sanibonani-
How is
everything? I hope you guys are doing well and I hope you know I'm praying for
you guys everyday! Good luck to Trev on that interview at UNC! If you end up
going there I'll have to go to a basketball game no doubt hahha. Also tell
Marissa congrats on getting married!
This week I got
to go on exchanges with Elder Mulabe. Boy that guy can TALK haha. He's a funny
guy from Zambia and it was good to go with him. It's weird now that I am
getting to be one of the kind of older guys here on mission and I just remember
looking up to the guys who had been out longer than me so much. I hope I can be
a great example to those in my district as well as my companion!
We also got to do
some finding and we went out kind of by the Dam. We just met a ton of drunk,
homeless type people and we spent a long time finding. When we were walking
back to our car I just waved up to this ma washing her clothes up the cliff.
She smiled and waved back and the Holy Ghost prompted us to go to her.
"just one more house" haha so we went and met Ma Sibongile Clele. She
was soooo nice and smiley and recognized us right away. She said she went to
our church long ago and knows the Book of Mormon. She said she's coming to
church and we reminded her of the restoration. This week we also got tons of
help from our RS leader! Phumzile comin in clutch. She helped one of our inv.
Colleen come to the activity in Hillcrest! (that's a big deal) and has been so
good at helping fellowship the new people we bring. So shout out to her! Also
at church we had some results!!!! Yeahhhhhh. So first of all the Mkungo's
bakkie broke down and they take literally 25 members. So we ran to them and I
came in clutch jumping the car. (didn't know how to do that before mission
haha) So they were able to come and our boy Ntokozo went clutch and fetched the
Clele fam to come to church (we were only expecting ma and phumla, but the
whole squad came) Jakie and her son came as well as Colleen! It was so cool to
see everyone there. Also we rolled in with 82 at church!! The most I'd seen
before this week was maybe 72. Big things are happening in Molweni (which
probably means I'll leave soon) hahah but for reals guys I know that prayers
are being answered, it was just two weeks ago that I felt like I was running in
sand and now I can see the Lord preparing this place for miracles.
I love all of you
and know that as we give our full hearts to God he can do things we never
thought were possible.
