Sanbonani!
This week was a
pretty alright one. Haha it was filled with lots of hard work and some
miracles. This area has really made me grateful for every single person that
allows us to teach them! I can now see even more how much God loves each one of
his children and how precious souls are in the sight of God. 2 of our most
progressing investigators are moving hahah Letiwe and Noma, who were both
supposed to be getting baptized in the next couple of weeks, so that wasn't
cool. Hahah but don't worry we found some keepers this week! Training has also
been going well, it's been such a humbling experience and I love how it's
reminded me of some of the basics and I'm able to understand things so much more
clearly than before.
What I've come to
accept is just that all I can do is work my very hardest and do what I know to
be right and let God take care of the rest. I know that He'll bless this area
through our efforts! One good thing that's come from this area is I've learned
how to be more bold. Haha that's something I really struggle with because I
feel like I'm being rude sometimes, but there's a right way to do it I've
learned. I finally got sick of people telling me "But it doesn't matter
because we all worship 1 God" in every house haha so I've been pretty bold
in telling them, IT DOES MATTER! haha we went to pick up 2 of our investigator
families for church but they both pulled some lame excuses! Luckily we saw Siya
(18 yr old guy) and Jackie and her son (from zimbabwe) all of them should be
getting baptized on the 19th! We're pretty pumped about that!
This week we also had our primary program
which was a treat for sure! hahha EVERYONE was laughing their heads off and
sometimes clapping haha which was new for me to see, but it was cool to see!
The primary president got really upset with everyone on how rude they were to
laugh during the kids’ parts. hahah it was mostly funny because they couldn't
speak any English and all the parts were in English so they all just mumbled
except a few. Anyway keep Molweni and Siya and Jackie and her boy, Tierry, in
your prayers! I love you guys so much and pray for you everyday.
