March 20th-TRANSFERS

What a week! But a week that will be remembered! Started the week of with zone conference-always a spirit that will knock you out of your seat kinda experience. Always love when zone conference comes around because i know im going to get a handful of inspiration that will last a life time! The next day i went on exchanges with a home boy from Provo Elder Wallace, got to check out Mabopane and meet some wonderful people! One thing thats sweet is i met a lot of the founders of the mabopane ward- the people who were there when it all started! They started in a shack and moved countless times, and now today have 140+ faithful members with an huge chapel! So that gave a lot of hope to me and my Hammanskraal family! We Me this one sister that was so reliant on the book of Mormon and is converted to the words to the point that she KNEW if she implemented its teachings into her life she could be in the celestial kingdom one day. Loved her faith and it defiantly inspired me!
Well transfers news rolled up! Sad to say but im am leaving Hammanskraal to my last area on mission! Im going back to MAMELODI!!! Pretty stoked honestly but i was convinced HAMM would be my last area. So hyped to see my wonderful people in MAMS and a addition of a bit of the west side, which will be a bit new to me. My comp is elder sudberry from Utah crazy to think he will defiantly be my last! Sad to leave my people i feel like ive never had closer freinds and family here compared to any other area in my mission. WE may of been small but they are some of the most wonderful people the worlds got to offer, feel so blessed God has allowed me to have them as a part of my life, what a blessing its been! Love my mission love the work and what a incredible joy it is.
LOVE,
-ELDER SWINDLE

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...
