Zone Conference!

Zone conference!!!! It was the best zone conference that I have had on my mission! President Thompson is the coolest guy ever! He is always cracking jokes and making us laugh and also motivating us so much! The spirit was so strong there honestly! We talked a lot about the new mission vision that President has. He has like 5 that he can’t pick from but mostly they all center on the book of Mormon! We have used the book of Mormon so much this week! Just like door to door instead of like the restoration pamphlet we just say we are going around talking about this wonderful book and it has actually caught a lot of eyes! It’s really cool to see! The president also challenged us to open the pages just to a random page and have them read it when we introduce the book to them. And as they read you can just see how interested they are. Really cool to see.

Zone conference was also great to just see all the missionaries again! Mears and a lot of people in my group. We ended up having a big soccer match zone against zones and that was a lot of fun. We play at the university in bloem! So the fields were legit not dirt like usual, but big goals and nets and nice grass so it was a lot of fun. Then after like always we have to play some basketball :) we had a four on four tournament which was fun..... then this like actual team came onto the court and said they had practice so we played half court... then the wanted to play against us.... yes of course....... but obviously they don't know missionaries hahahah WE ALWAYS WIN!!! It was a lot of fun :) We stayed at the hotel again with all the missionaries and ended up playing four square for a long time that night hahaha :) Great times

So this week Elder cook had to go home. He is in elder lisonbees group. He was elder Wellings companion. So now Me and Lisonbee and Welling are in a three some for the rest of the transfer.  Two weeks so that will be interesting! We will see how that all works out going back and forth in our areas.... so now I have two areas to work in..... this is going to be stressful hahah :) Then on top of that the blitz picked up about 6 new investigators this week so yeah a lot of work to do :)

THE KOLOKU FAMILY!!!!!!! They were baptized on Saturday!!! They made it!!! I Baptized the father Ramothabane Koloku  And Elder Lisonbee Baptized the Mother Elizabeth Koloku :) THE WATER WAS ICE COLD HAHAHAHA :) when Entate stepped into the water a certain word slipped out of his mouth that stared with a S hahahahhah But only me and Elder Welling and the bishop Heard it hahahhah It was really funny :) Later Entate Received the Aaronic Priesthood and now we are teaching the little kids so that Entate can baptize them :) I'm sure I’ll be here for that!!! All in all the whole experience was amazing!!! Me and Elder lisonbees story has already spread across the mission that we baptized a family!

Later that Saturday night..... Bishop needed help slaughtering the HUGE RAM!!! I MEAN HUGE the thing was like so tall like up to my waist and it was HEAVY!! His mother in Law bought it for some special occasion so she needed s help. So we helped hahah :) That this was a monster hahaha It charged at me and it put up a good fight hahaha :) But you just gotta grab  it by the horns hahah :)

Today we are planning on cutting up some wood to have a fire tonight and to show Amo ( Our last baptism ) what a S’more Is. So that will be fun :) We are also having so KFC I think so that will be nice... haven't had some in a while :) Because I have this Challenge with my mom that I won’t use my home card for 30 days..... Good thing the 30 day are over at the end of this week then I can spoil myself a little bit hahahah :) it was a great budget challenge though well needed and great for my future life :)

I'm having a great time! I love reading the book of Mormon! Whenever I have a minute I read it! IT IS SO INTERESTING!!! There is actually a lot of cool stories I really didn't know about hahhah :) Very cool! Also lately I have been putting in inserts or quotes that go hand in hand with a scripture so it’s really cool to fully understand some doctrine :) Elder Roberts.... Our Sr. couple.... is a genius when it comes to this stuff.... I guess that will happen when he has been institute seminary teacher for 46 years or so..... Yeah that guy know every single page in both the bible and the book of Mormon right off the top of his head!!
