Dumelang!!

     What's up guys?? Sad to hear about Duke, craziest dog I ever knew!! Good luck to Trev with the interviews for school this week! This week was the great Tankiso and Francis' baptisms!! It went so well, but we went and cleaned the font for a long time then the water that came out was pee yellow so we were all a little scared to go into the diseased water but we got it done! After they were baptized they got to share their testimonies and it's so amazing how strong their testimonies are in such a short time! It's such a testimony builder to see how much the gospel really does bless everyone in every way. Sad news was that Lebo's brother committed suicide this week, but she's taking it really well.

     Mom you asked me how we met them and that actually really helped me to realize a miracle so thanks!! So we met Tankiso and Francis because we were teaching Mpho at his house then his grandpa got super upset at him and us and shouted at us to leave and that "his house isn't a church" and a lot more in Sesotho. Anyway we had to find a new place to meet which was Tankiso "brotha's" house. Then we met Francis and began teaching all of them. It's funny how Heavenly Father works and really does have a plan for us!  We met a ton of new people this week and they were all basically like "why didn't I know about this earlier??" Like wishing they would've received the gospel earlier which made me so grateful that I was born with these blessings and gained this knowledge at such a young age. It scares me to think where I would be without this gospel and without my awesome youth leaders and best buds. I also learned that another word for gospel is "good news" the good news is that because of Jesus Christ we can escape death and hell. I know that that good news is true. I'm so thankful for my Savior! Have a great week. I love you!

     Bless up
