Week 8- Not a Speck of Dust

Hey ya'll!!
I hope everyone is doing well, and i am glad to hear from everyone and to see all the smiles! But otherwise the work is good here in Mofikeng and its finally starting to warm up and to actually feel like Africa!! The mornings here are freezing but they are finally warming up and the windy season is on the way before the heat arrives! This week me and Elder Williams have been cracking down on the area and really trying to learn it for ourselves because we usually have a member that's my age tag along with us each day, he literally like lives with us, he's hilarious! Too much Zulu in my life haha. But this week we have done a bunch of service and we helped with a Mormon Helping Hands at a orphanage and clean the yards and such. So one thing you have to understand about Africa is they have a house and they have a wall or a fence and dirt for a yard. Literally every house has a fence or a wall that has spikes on the top of it, every house is like a fort, even if they live in a shack. But their yards are all red dirt (only the richest people have grass) So they make sure that the dirt is spotless and not a piece of dust can be seen on it, its quite hilarious. And then we did a lot of service at members house and worked our butts off.. But the investigator pool is starting to get very large and we are teaching a lot of people! The {M}s are pushing their date back a month and bro {D} is working as hard as he can to quit smoking, {K} is still on track going strong and {T} is back on date!! We had a really powerful lesson 2 with him that totally changed his mind about life, and pretty much begged us to but him back on date! Great week!! I am going to keep it short so i can add some pictures! Always remember how bless you all are, and always relate it back to God!
Love you all!:)

What a incredible week! I dont think ive ever been more busy my whole mission compared to this week! So to explain  first before i explain about the details, we prayed Sunday night for a "PERFECT WEEK" i guess we didnt really know exactly what we meant but we prayed for it. It all started off on Tuesday, We had a awesome zone service in the Montana elders area, we did so much manual labor i but my back out probably for the rest of my mission. None the less it was a great opportunity for zone unity and we had a blast. After which we where able to able to see everyone we had scheduled for, including sister Maleka and her family, we felt inspired to bring a sister and her husband from the group teaching with us and we had a wonderful discussion about eternal marriage and temples. We Were finally able to have a productive lesson with sister jackquine(less-active) were she was able to feel the spirit. Wednesday we watched the world wide missionary broadcast. Yes we ...

Good morning over there! Yeah so the new house is sweet, its pretty roomy for both of us. We are getting so much more work done now its incredible. We found a ton of new investigators last week and this week and we have been able to see most of them. Lots of cool story's. First we broke our record for investigator lessons taught in a week sense we opened the area!  And we decided to track down as many of the former investigators as we could and we found Maria and pindilea who are wonderfully prepared, they had a brother who was takin the lessons and was going to be baptized but the missionary's were taken out of the area and their brother bongoni passed away. It was crazy when they showed us his BOM that he would study out of and the old pamphlets. Besides that we found a lot of father led family's and they all look promising. We are a happy bunch and should have sister mathodi baptized on the 29th. She is awesome, every time she blows me away with signs of a c...
