Oct 3rd-hey hey transfers!

Hey everyone!

So transfers are about to happen! Im getting transferred to the mabopane zone to a place called soshanguvhe in Pretoria! Crazy to think ive been in the Pretoria zone for so long now weird to go, but yet im excited to meet new people & elders! We said goodbye to as many people as we could yesterday, awesome to end it with a touch of general conference! Couldn't help but to have the greatest time watching and learning, felt like the whole conference was centered on missionary & the work we do. Also another theme that i found quite often was JOY! Almost everyone mentioned it in their talks and i couldn't help but to just build to my testimony that good loves us, and as said; its his purpose for us to be happy and like him! Made me think of Nephi and his family and how they always searched for happiness and guess what? They found it in every situation they searched for it! " it came to pass that we lived in the matter of happiness" If we seek we will find but better dang right try!! Mission is the greatest opportunity to search for happiness in every situation- simply becasue the majority of your time on mission is hard! But thats just the brilliance of it! We can search and finf these hidden treasures if we chose to do so! So grateful to life in a time of exact and direct counsel from a prophet & apostles sent from God. What a blessing we all can be grateful for! 

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 ...

Jan 16th-Happy New Year!

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...
