SOMERSET WEST

(This is last week's letter. I have been at Girls Camp all week and didn't get it forwarded.)

HELLO! 

Well, Being back in Capetown is quite interesting. That amazing spirit has been here, and just in the first 4 days we are seeing amazing miracles!

It all started on friday, with a District Meeting with just us, and President Lebethoa, Sister Lebethoa, And the Assistants! It was soo fun! They want us to flood this area with Mormon.org and we are gonna kill it!

We have new pass along cards, and are gonna be working with members more and more trying to get everyone on mormon.org

But, we need some help. Because we aren't very familiar with the site, seeing we aren't on the internet that much hahaha, but if all of you could go to mormon.org, and let me know what stands out first, and how we can use that in our teaching, that would be amazing!

Some of first miracles was having our members already getting on this website, without us even meeting them. The Lord has great plans for this area, and for us in Somerset West!

I love these members, and love the gospel we share! It is so true!

Keep being amazing, and kill it!

Love always, Elder Ivins

Fwd: From G-Town to C-Town

Hello!

What a hectic week! It was the end of my second transfer with my boy, elder Mofokeng. In anticipation of transfer news and to open our fasts, we ate as much pizza as we could saturday night, and then we received the fateful call, that I will be going to cape town to serve in Somerset West! It will be a massive earthquake in our companionship, but Im sure we will survive....

It will be quite a change... I will be going from a xhosa area, to a not dominant xhosa area... and I will be in a tripanionship! So that will be really sweet!

it has been really sad to say goodbye to the amazing people I love and care so much about, but I know I will see them again (hopefully soon..wink wink...) hahaha 

I'm very grateful to have been able to serve in Grahamstown and meet the amazing people that are here. The church is true wherever we go. A fun experience we had was late on Friday night, we were at the shops buying biscuits just before we went home, and met these really cool girls. They were also buying snacks and junk food for exams... we met them and just invited them to church. They were so excited to come, and made the effort, and Sunday morning they were there! We walked with them, and they even brought a friend! It shows that you never know where you are, there will be people ready for the gospel! 

I love the book of Mormon, and have seen the changes it has made in my life, and in the lives of so many others!

Love you all, catch you next week from Cape Town!

Elder Ivins
