Sept 26th- week of spiritual miracles!

Wonderful week!

Hard to believe its already week 5 of the transfer its flow by so fast! Me and the comp just stare at each other completely puzzled that its Sunday AGAIN! Man time goes so fast on this side hard to but it into reality sometimes! But this week was a week a spiritual miracles! First off we had zone conference down in Pretoria- President chads first! But man it was powerful to see how things are changing and are mission as a whole is getting where it needs to be even quicker now. He is like a Africa captain Moroni bold and straight to the point-awesome! We had the Mabopane stake president come and speak and all in all it was a very powerful meeting! Then the next day we decided to work in a new area that we hardly go to, started tracking for the left over time we had and we tracked into 3 people that's it! & each was amazing! We ran into a sister Thandi who was taught by missionary's a long time ago & wanted us to teach her sons, next we ran into bro tom, that had kidney failure and had a book of Mormon in is house and read it not know much about it. Next we knocked on sis. Murmuims- super cool! We knock on the door and the husband opens it up and he says the typical "come back next week" but just as he was shutting the door his wife said "WAIT WAIT!" i need to talk to them! She said she was very sick and couldn't get out of bed but when her little girl told her their were "men of God" at the door she had her strength restored and we sat down with her and came to find out she had some family members pass away the previous day and as we taught her the plan of salvation she was bawling like a baby! Just would sit there for 5 minutes just weeping- spirit was so strong and she is very excited for us to come back! Church was the best because lo and behold our most less- active of all less-active south African renown hip-hop artist(the African snoop dog)- Thabang came to church!!! Not even by himself but with his friend! It was so nice to see him there feeling the spirit and engaged in gospel principle class! We never could teach the guy much, every 5 minutes someone knocks on his door for recording & projects etc.. even though most of our lessons he would be sipping on a black label right in front of us we made sure that he knew we loved him and that God loved him. Goes to show just being a friend knocks down so many walls to allow the spirit to touch his heart! Also Thandi was confirmed this week super great to she her smiling and happy! Great Great week!!

pictures coming next week!

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...
