Well, Happy Heritage Day! Last year, while celebrating in Motherwell, the experience was quite different. All the mamas and sisis wore traditional clothes to church, there was fun in the streets, and it was an amazing thing to see....
Now I'm in a white ward. yeah.
But it was still a fun weekend! We had great experiences, but it was a little harder of a week. We had lots of drops. so we made the best we could. We have one investigator, who is doing really well, Towanda. She is 25 and working, and loves the BOM, and what we have to share.
She was so excited for church but, then Satan struck. Her sister had to go to hospital. It was a dagger and we were so sad, but she even recognized it was satan. Not too worried about her, because as long as she keeps reading and praying, the gospel will stick. That is the biggest thing i have recognized. If you are sincere, the blessings will come.
Our amazing investigator Levi is still doing well. He is getting so excited for his baptism in just a couple short weeks. We told his brother, Reagan, our recent convert, that he will be able to baptise him, and his eyes shot open with excitement and It will be so amazing.
We are really excited for General Conference this coming weekend. It will be an amazing time to listen to our Leaders. I have grown to love conference so much more on mission, and especially for investigators!
This week, I have really been praying for an increase amount of Love for the people. To be able to feel the Saviors love for them... and I know Heavenly Father is blessing me with that love. It is incredible to see how no matter what happens, you just want these people to accept it. It is so trye, and they just need to recognize it. I have grown in desire to meet and tell everyone the gospel, and I love it! We actually have a white investigator who is interested!!! NO WAY!
I love you all, and am so grateful to be on mission. I am loving our P-day traditions now of volleyball for 4 hours, then buying a kitchen sink.... the biggest bowl of ice cream in cape town... and then downing a nice Dr Pepper.
Love you all! Pray for Rain, and Pray for Snow
