Dumelang!
Don't know if I
spelt it right, but that's how they greet around here. This week was a goodie.
What really just makes me so excited is for "the squad" that's what
my comp and I call Mpho, Francis, and Tankiso. Mpho is 23, had a smoking prob.
Francis is 21 and the funniest guy around, and Tankiso is 31 and he's just a quiet
but amazing guy. I'll send you a selfie of us. We teach them all together since
they live close to each other and they've all progressed so easily. They will
be interviewed this week, then baptized the 11th. and I'm sooo pumped for them.
It's been such a challenge to teach men on my mission and I feel like these
guys are the answers to my mission long prayers. They're so excited for the
gospel and just soak it in everytime.
This week we
learned about spiritual gifts at Zone Conference. It was so awesome for me to
hear because I felt like I didn't have any. (maybe some of you do too) but I
found out everyone does! Moroni 10:8 really clarified that for me. It's so easy
for us to recognize them in other people but I know that all of God's children
have them and no one has them all! Don't deny yours, HF loves you. I'm thankful
for my parents who always let me know what they saw in me even if I didn't
believe them.
A miracle that
happened this week. Mpho and Francis just showed up at church and we were thinking,
oh no where's Tankiso?!! This guy... then about 10 min later he's showing up
legit running, he was like guys I'm so sorry my boss came to my house and made
me work today but I told him I had to go to church and ran here. hahah I was so
impressed by him. It's people like him that Heavenly Father can trust. I hope
to always be someone HF can trust as well. I know he loves each one of us and I
felt that as we talked about spiritual gifts we've been blessed with this week.
I love you guys! Kill it this week!
Also I met a RM from Tommy Webb and Christian Cottle's
mission in Manchester !
Bless up
