Week 32- The Mojelas Got Baptized!

Hey everyone!!

This week has been incredible! Me and my comp worked are butts off and we are now reaping the rewards! We had so man blessings in so many various ways but it was evident that the lord was blessing us this week. This week we had about 8 hours of service and we help a member move and spaded someones yard(kinda like lawn mowing but African style) while we where blasting "the lion sleeps tonight song". But as we were working are phone kept going off and just wouldn't stop, we looked and we got like 8 referrals from head quarters! Wow its rare you even get one in a transfer! So that was a blessing and we haven't even had time to contact them yet. We also got a special assignment to travel 2 hours away and visit members in a isolated town called vryburg.(was freaking awesome because they actually had domino's pizza there!!) We got to contact some referrals and visit some powerful member's that are all by themselves but yet are strong as a family. 

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY!!! THE MOJELAS GOT BAPTIZED!!! After one year and one month of meeting with the missionaries they FINALLY did it!! Wow it was the most amazing thing i have ever experienced yesterday! Bro Chiposi got baptized and another sister as well.  I couldn't help than to smile till my cheeks hurt all day long it was awesome. Also it was my first time baptizing someone personally so that was cool! Mma, sehla, and kukesto finally did it. Loved seeing their smiling faces the spirit was very strong ALL fast sunday, the members here have incredible testimony's. 

This week was awesome not only because of the baptisms but because we felt the blessings of heaven pour upon us this week, once we showed the lord we were willing to put forth the effort and applied action = blessings god loves us but his blessing are only in store for those who show the lord with their actions and thoughts they are willing. 

God loves us all, never forsakes us even when we feel like he isn't there, never forget!

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...
