I repeat what a week :)
This week was really great we were able to find a lot of new people to teach and were able to have a baptism as well :) We are teaching a family that has a missionary in Australia ha there is a lot to say so let me just go one by one.
The family, The Matabelas, They are not members the only member is the son who is on a mission. They are extremely nice to use even though they are not members. They feed us every Sunday, and me and elder katimbo just felt prompted that we should start teaching them the lessons. So we asked them last Sunday if they wanted to start with the lessons and they were interested so we left them with plan of salvation pamphlets so that they could read them for the next week. Yesterday we had a powerful lesson and covered the perfect plan and how families can be together forever. I'm really really looking forward to the next couple of weeks teaching them. They ask a lot of questions and are super, super interested in learning more.
The baptism, Siyanda is 9 has been waiting to be baptized and he finally was able to :) He is part of the buthlezis family. The baptism was pretty stressful trying to get it all ready for after church. We were going to clean the font on Saturday but it started raining like crazy and were were not able to do anything. So we went to church early so that we could start on the font. Well turns out that the pump was broken, so after sacrament we had to get in the font and just start using the buckets to get the water out. It took a really really long time there was a lot of water!!! After we got the water out we had to clean it, then put water back in. Well the hose was broken as well hahah so we went to the mondlanes to get theirs. We set it all up and then the water pressure was low....... what else could go wrong! so we were running out of time so we just started getting the buckets again and feeling them in the other tap and dumping them in. after about 200 buckets of water or less I don't know hahah. we finally were ready for the baptism. The water was super cold but totally worth it after all of that work ahha. All of that just for those wonderful 30 seconds of being in the water....... totally worth it though I was blessed to be part of someones salvation! Pretty cool if you ask me :)
Update on our investigator rob, He went to Durban for about two weeks for a cool job he got. So hopefully he comes back this week. He is ready to be baptized but we just got to work with his father. But i know he will be able to be a member of the church some day. all in the lords time:)
We have received a lot of new people to teach this week..... about 8 so this upcoming week were are going to contact them and start scheduling things. So these next three weeks are going to be great:)
Today we are having our zone activity, We are going to Durban and going ice skating so that is going to be alot of fun!!! Tomorrow we have zone conference its presidents last one so i got to make sure to get a picture with him.
So my new favorite snacks are apples and avocados. Apples because i need to eat better and not just PPJ sandwiches hahah. avocados because oh my they are sooo good especially when we pick them right off the tree! Elder jena showed me that its better if you put sugar on it..... doesn't make it healthy but man is it good!!!
Everything is great especially this gospel. I'm loving it out here! ITS A LOT MORE FUN THAN I THOUGHT. I thought before mission, 'OH man its like church every single day!!!" but honestly I love it so much!! its amazing to be this close to the lord and to this gospel and have this wonderful opportunity to teach about it!!!
