HELLO FAMILY!! Pt 2
Well. Yesterday was so amazing! It was so great to see and talk with my amazing family!
This week was really great, a lot of hype into Sunday, and thennnnn.... Elder Kyles was sooo sick. That was really a shame. SO i stayed home with him all day, and was just stressin about what people were at church or not. I was able to watch all of the mormon messages i have, read a bunch in the BOM and Our Search for Happiness, and while i was cleaning the kitchen I listened to the Audio Version of 3rd Nephi. It was really cool actually to be totally submerged in the Scriptures all day! It was also the first Sunday I have taken an afternoon nap.
We met a really powerful girl named Khayakazi. We call her KK or Khaya. When i yelled to her hey Khaya, It just reminded me of all the fun times with my cousin Kaya. Its one of the first names here that is of our family. I met an Annie once, and a Gabriel. But briefly.
But, KK came up to us on the street, asking us if we worked at Standard Bank and wanted help ahahha. We told her no, but that we can still help her (wink wink, eternal salvation, you know mos). We got her info, and she actually seemed really interested, but we never made it to her house. I called her Sat night and invited her to church and she said she would come! I didn't think too much of it, as we invite a lot of people who we even meet with and have good lessons with to come, and they dont. But then Sun morning, she sent us a text saying that she was in a taxi and on her way, but lost the card i gave her with the address to the church! I was sooo HYPED! I guess she loved church and we are excited to see her this week!
Another miracle we had was with Sphamantla. If you remember we taught him, super powerful loved church, and then his brother shafted us down. So, we were really discouraged and on fast Sunday I fasted for him and have been praying that his brother would have his heart softened. But Heavenly Father answered us a bit differently. Sphamantla's mother has moved home, and stays with them again. And so this smart kid decided to ask his mom if he can go back to church. Because he has been reading the BOM i left for him, and loves it!
Anddddd BOOM. His mom says YES! and what do you know, because we have a loving Heavenly Father she too is interested why her boy loves church so much. Patience, Diligence, and Hard work bring miracles!
This week we have really been studying about Christ. Who he is, what he does, and how we can be like him. We studied BD (Bible Dictionary) Christ, and BD Christ, Names of. We picked which one was our favorite that we will call the Savior when he comes again. I love the name Brother. and Savior. The Living Christ is also soo powerful talking about our Redeemer. You all should study those and then let me know next week what name you will call Jesus Christ when he comes again.
I love you, and know that He lives, and this is His work!
Love, Jarod

Keep Practicing Xhosa!!!
Here is a link to our time with Jarod. If you skip to minute 29 you can hear him speaking in Xhosa. (It's pretty boring at the beginning, unless you're his mom, then it's amazing!!!)
