Week 41- Actually Not Devil Worshipers

Hey everyone!
This week has been great for many different reasons! First off we had MLC on Tuesday and Wednesday, i always love going and to get the spiritual high that's similar to zone conference. So blessed to be in the mission i am, president and his wife are truly inspired, never quite realized the work and planning that is done until attending MLC. Then last Friday we had Zone meeting, turned out great, had to stay up late a few nights and prepare but all went well. What a great Zone we have! Great elders love them all very much. We also had a lesson with khusto and finally got the chance to meet with khusto's parents who thought we were devil worshipers and pretty much kicked him out of the house for it. But we sat down and helped them understand who we are and now they want us to teach the whole family once a week! The spirit can really soften the hardest hearts if you are a valiant recipient. I think the highlight for this week was by far General conference! First off we actually had the chance to watch it the day of because we were in a civilized place, and secondly people actually came! We watched it saturday night, sunday morning, sunday afternoon, and sunday night. We pretty much spent the entire day watching it, and it was AWESOME! We had lots of investigators show up and they all felt the spirit and had a different outlook on the church, comforting yet again that its is true!! Nomode was able to attend saturday night, which made my whole week, because she has been taught and is converted but yet cannot come to church because of work. But hey our prayers were answered, she came to church still right, sacrament meeting or not hey? Great week with plenty of rewards given by the spirit. Love the work here!
Love you!

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...
