Nov 14th-Hammanskraal turning up!

This week was so awesome!!! it was a long stressful week with lots of prep for sacrament meeting in Hammanskraal!!! Basically every day we were slammed with arraignments/assignments with zero help from the soshanguve ward or the bishop. They were not very excited to lose some of their members to Hammanskraal so they decided not to help us even in the smallest means!! Well to bad for them it went AWESOME! About 16 people showed up besides us and President chad. & his wife, came and attended. Some members had not attended for years until yesterday! The first councilor in sosha ward spoke along with me, and president. The spirit was so strong it was over whelming! We all sang with power it was amazing. I loved every moment of it! The only thing that we will try and fix next time was the flock of doves that decided to land on the roof in the middle of sacrament meeting haha im sure someones got a shot gun around here 😁 Everyone was so happy and everyone couldn't help but to just smile for the rest of the day! so happy that things worked out and the spirit was there, made all the sweat & blood count. Im grateful that the Lord loves his people are watches out for everyone of his children. I know that the Lord made the means for us to worship him and the father even in a less than convenient place for most. Powerful week & a highlight of my mission for sure!
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...
