Molweni Everyone! 


This week has been a pretty solid week! We were able to get Lutho's Baptism interview done and we are now planning on having his baptism on the 14th. We had his baptism announced today at church. Also, speaking of Church, now that we are covering two wards we are going to 6 hours of church! By the end of the day my brain is so fried, ha-ha. 

This week we had a lot of lessons with a lot of new people (Oh yeah, they are called new people now not investigators) which was really nice. But, on Monday while we were at the Sakati house for FHE where we met two of Mama Sakati's nieces (Danai and Lutho) that are now living with them because their mom died. Which is super sad. But out of the blue they just said that they wanted to get Baptized which was super cool so we have started to teach them. But, in that first lesson we had with them while we were talking about the Priesthood, Danai asked if we could give her a priesthood blessing because she had been having a lot of terrible night mares about her mom and stuff. And so, of course we gave her one. It was a really awesome experience because the next time we came she said that that night she had a dream that she was with all of her classmates and she was teaching them the things that we had taught her, and she said she slept super good. And she said that it was an answer to her prayers. Super cool right!?

This week we also had the opportunity to do some service for a lady in our ward.(Sister Deliwe) We painted her house which was a first for me. Elder Allred said that it is a pretty common thing to paint peoples houses as a missionary. But, It was also nice because she fed us afterwards, ha-ha. 

They give us a copy of the Liahona each month so that has been really nice to be able to read whenever I have down time in the Boarding. 

The money actually lasts pretty good. They give us 900 rand twice a month ($63.72). On the 15th and on the 30th. It has also been nice to have a DA almost every night so that definitely helps with the money. Our P-Days are pretty busy. We usually wake up, do our usual morning routine, clean the boarding and then go email at a mall about 15 minutes from the boarding. We also do all our shopping at the mall at a store called Pick n Pay. Then, we will go eat somewhere and then go do something in the area or go play soccer with the kids in our ward. 

But again, thank you for the pictures and thank you for  sending me the family history story. I will have to try and print it off to read it or something. Also, you are the best! Thank you for your support. Sure love ya!
