Week 35- I'm Leaving Maf-Town!

Wow I don't think this week could be anymore hectic! Last night president called me and maholti and to my utter surprise he said i am going to be a Zone leader in momaodli 1, and my comp will be training a guy from idaho in Maf-town! So right now both of our minds are exploding with unbelief!!! Very excited and not very excited to teach future zone conferences but hey gotta love the challenge in which i know the lord will help me grow!

So this week we have had multiple things happening, we first off had the opportunity to do about 10 hours of service total, some of which we did service for one of our progressing investigator families (sis kenanao) and it was a great blessing because we were able to cultivate a great relationship much deeper that before, but by helping them make a garden! Was a blessing in disguise for us and them! We also had the honor to have President and Sister Willson come teaching with us on Thursday and we had some of the most powerful lessons I've ever experienced! The spirit was so strong and the loving kindness the Wilsons bring was incredible! We were able to have them with us for the whole day, amazing experience i will never forget! 

So sad to say we lost a investigator named Olive, that WAS going to be baptized but the students here don't have much regards to others and decided to burn down the University that she was attending! The riots here have been very bad here lately the army was called in to keep it under control. But she said she will be back in a month and for sure will make it towards baptism! This week has been difficult to go through with appointments, not sure whats really going on.

Sad to say but I'm leaving! I am definitely going to miss Maf-town, what a blessing to come back for 7 weeks, i uncovered the meaning of why i was needed back so promptly. Going to miss the people so much!

Love you all will upload pics of some members next week!

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...
