Week 10- No Showers but Lots of Church Tours

Hello everyone!

Just in case y'all didn't know i love you all! This week was definitely interesting and could be considered more of a service week than anything. To our GREAT SURPRISE we found ourselves in Botswana again for the most of the week helping move a flat in Molipoloi (the worlds biggest village) Pretty much out in the middle of no where and we were all covered in dirt from head to toe all week, there is no water up there too so a shower wasn't even close to possibility. But other than that we worked all day everyday moving furniture super fun! haha But after we got back from bots we came back right in time for Mafikengs first open house!! Man what a amazing experience!! We were all expecting not much of a turn out but at one point there were almost a hundred people there! We got so man referrals it was awesome. All of the elders went out into the streets and invited everyone we saw and the members gave the tours and loaded them with info about the church! Well worth all the planning and work! The spirit was so strong there because once someone finished a tour you would ask them how they feel and they would look at you and say they felt 'something different' and they had a warm countenance about them that made my day! Well i am excited to be back in the area and i hope that we can at least have a solid week here, i feel as if our area is suffering because we are hardly even here! No matter what country i am in i am always praying for my investigators because that's one thing i know i can do. I am pretty sick today, i think elder Williams cooking didn't work out all that great haha so ill keep it short. Love you all, and please pray for those who need to be strengthened. And remember everything you all have been given!

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...
