Hey everyone, so
this week was pretty wild but I just want to start out by sending my prayers to
Elder Legas and his fam this week. He was one of my closest friends out here
and he's such a good guy! He'll be coming home this week because of illness so
please keep him in your prayers.
With all of that
crazy stuff some changes happened and I'm now with Elder Leishman. He's a
pretty cool guy I think I've sent some pics with him in them. He's the
"beefier" one in the sunglasses pictures. hahah he's also being
trained so I'll have trained someone now for the past 6 months. But it's
awesome to be around people with such high energy and enthusiasm for the work!
I'm sad to be losing Elder Ntaka though he really was such an awesome
companion.
This week we
prepared Francis and Tankiso for their baptisms. They're super excited and I
think Francis might have a chance to serve a mission in the future. That would
be a dream come true. They both have such strong testimonies and they asked us
for church hymns to listen to so they could learn them! Mpho won't be baptized
with them this Sunday which is super sad, but he's taking it well. He is having
some troubles getting over his smoking and it's even more frustrating because
he keeps blaming it on the fact that he can't eat healthy food. I've learned
that we're not here to convince people, but to invite them to find out for
themselves God's will and that's the best part!
Another one of our investigators is Lebo. She
bore a super strong testimony at church! I had the chance to read Helaman
chapter 5 which is one of my fav chapters. I'm so thankful for the Holy Ghost
in my life and the comfort that comes as I listen for and to that still small
voice. Check that chapter out!!! Other than that I'm loving life, I pray for
you all every day and I love you guys!
Bless up
Elder Thompson
