Sept 19th- Thandi made it!

Hey guys!

What a week lots of ups & downs but the end made it all worth it! So first off we were able to see Amos and his whole family- after nearly a month and a half of trying to arrange an appointment we finally got to sit down with all of them! It was so nice to discuss about the Godhead & helping them understand the living reality of God. Really helped them out- they had almost no perception of god and who he is! Looking forward to our next visit this week! Another highlight is, i got to go on exchanges with Elder Banda(AP) from Zim and we went to go visit Trevor and found him sick as can be, hadn't eaten in 3 days and was just weak, so we gave him a blessing and i couldn't help but to have the greatest warmth in my heart. But went we got out side we found Givemore and his freind Mussa, which after talking with them for a while, found out they are from Zim as well! So elder Banda felt right at home and we really got to break the ice with brother givemore, and came to find out that his freind brother mussa whole family except for himself is a member back in Zim! He has visited with missionary's before but just couldn't except the message but as i talked to him he let us come back and see him. New investigator and Holy Ghost moment for sure! 

And man this Sunday was so crazy! I am not sure why but EVERY SINGLE time we have a baptism something goes wrong. Its a curse or just satan trying to have some fun! So we walk down to our car Sunday morning and we try open our car and it wouldn't open! The remote was dead and the lock in the door- were you insert your key was busted by a bunch of kids that were trying to break into our car- by shoving a wire and rocks into it. So we ended up having to attended church with witbank elders and had a less-active we teach who owns a taxi transport everyone from kwa- guqa to witbank. Baptism went great!  So happy for sister thandi and her husband! Defiantly the best part of the transfer! Great week! Couldnt ask for anything else!

Love you guys!

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...
