Hi Mom
and Dad, SORRY AGAIN NO PICTURES THIS WEEK
Sounds
like a really eventful week! Thanks for the update of everything! First I want
to apologize because today we aren't going to be able to email for long... the
chapel internet ran dry for this month, so it might be the same next week
too... and the place we are emailing at right now is really expensive.. so this
will be short again.
I'm glad
Aaron is alright! That must have been scary for Kim to have Aaron in so much
pain! I'm really happy he is ok now! An answer to prayers to be honest! Now me
and him are twinners! My scar is a bit lower though... but twinners none the
less!
Well I
clicked 10 months on mission today! How crazy is that?!? blows my mind really!
I honestly have no perception of time anymore... Time is obsolete... it has no
meaning anymore! All I know is that I never have enough of it!
Whenever
I tell people how its snowing at home they always say that they will never live
in Canada! Paha! I just laugh! I love you both so much! Please stay safe and
don't die in a snow storm!
Another
busy week and no time to write! We had Zone Training this week and also it was
interviews with President! Man I love interviews with president! He was such a
big help to me! He gave me some good advice to help me through the trials I was
facing. What an amazing man! I love him! Training was really awesome! After
training we drove the 3 hours back to Knysna, and then that night the Zone Leaders
came and stayed the night and we had exchanges the next day. It was awesome!
At one
point we were all at Sister Nolundi's house and outside her house was this
group of 20 yr olds running around with knives and robbing people, and we could
see them from the door of her house. My companion was really nervous, I wasn't
too nervous because I have seen worse, but he was really nervous and started
praying quietly to himself, and he told me afterwards that right when he had
finished praying, he looked up and the people were gone. That was pretty cool!
Goes to show the power of prayer! Those guys were out there for a while and
right when the prayer was done they were gone! I'd say that's awesome!
We have
had some awesome success with finding new investigators and finding those who
are prepared and willing to listen and learn! We recently have started teaching
a father led family from Zimbabwe and they are really excited about the things
we are teaching them, and also a potential priesthood holder who is also rather
interested in the message of the Restored Gospel!
It goes
to show that the Lord is preparing people in the world to hear the Gospel and
if I have faith and rely on him, he will lead us to them, or they will be led
to us! I love it! I love this work! My faith and knowledge grows every day!
Well My
time is far spent! Take Luck!
