Week 38- The Dream Team is Here, Baby

Well Mamilodi is most defiantly one of my favorite places in this world, the people, the members are incredible. This week has been great, to kick her off we started with Zone conference on Tuesday, had some powerful discussions about locking your heart and repentance, i always love and look forward to the 6 hours spent, the spirit and revelation is always overwhelming! But lately its been quite the journey learning the area/ Pretoria as a whole but i am enjoying the vibe and fact that people know how to speak english fluently here so its been great. Me and the comp are getting along great we wake up every morning at 5;30 and go to the gym/ run, officially lost the extra baggage :) He is a powerful guy and is very loving to all that we teach, we've built some inedible relationships with investigators and members. Birthday was great! weird to be so madala, life moves on!
Spiritual moment of the week- We got a referral from a member to go see this guy on the far side of mams out in the village, his name is tshepo. We met him finally after three attempts to visit him, due to some traffic jams like you've never experienced before... but as we met him he said that he had already read moroni/mormon and nephi already, and is very interested. Came back and taught him about the godhead. He thought god had no love for him and that Christ wasn't there in his life, due to his wife and child passing away. the spirit was so strong as we taught him that god loves and cares for each of us and knows us for our strengths/weaknesses. As the spirit worked on him he was able to get a glimpse of that and was so happy! Made my week, 45 mins changed his/my life. Amazing. We as missionary's review the day and identify he spirit in the day and i always hate prioritizing holy ghost moments over another, because we have so many.
Update, we are now comp of 3, elder lylbe is waiting for his visa to Namibia so he's with us for now, former ZL will be the prophet one day. The dream team is here baby.
Enjoy the pics!
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...
