Week 34- Tsmio's Conversion

Hello from Maf-teezy!

Wow this week was been excellent! We have had a lot of progress and have had a lot of progress with investigators this week! We also finally had a full week in the area and it was nice not have to travel much! This week I'm just going to do mostly pictures. But my Holy ghost moment for this week was with a newly found investigator named tsimo! He is the most intelligent and intellectual guy you've ever met in you life besides the fact he talks 1000 words a minute! He has met with over 20 missionaries in the past over the years and the majority of his family are members. But we sat down with him and for a solid 30 minutes he shared with us his dreams and ambitions in life which were very impressive by the way.. he came to church and loves the church a lot! But as we were talking to him in the lesson and at church he made it clear that he needed to gain the knowledge that joseph smith was a true prophet and once he gained this revelation he would continue further. But as we sat down with him the spirit told me i needed to manifest the truthfulness of the book of Mormon and we had to read from it to understand if Joseph smith was a true prophet, if christ really did restore his church again. And he did! He began to read before we met with him again and he ran up to all the elders and excitingly announced that he received confirmation and keep asking, what he needed to do or obtain to be baptized! Amazing how me a very inferior person compared to this guy, who is and will change the world, can speak through simplicity of the spirit and can change the hearts of the most complex material! Amazing!

Also a funny story, Bro Machaba gave a talk this week with such energy and loudness everyone couldn't help but to laugh and wonder what in the world?? He would walk around the pulpit and yell at the top of his Malawian lungs so loud the president had to wrestle him off the stand. Amazing guy love him!

Great week! Looking forward to the last week of the transfer and the work that will be done!

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...
