Litshonile!!! (from Sister Mpiyakhe)

I hope you are all well.

It has been suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper Hot over here.  So much so that my brand new lip balm melted and there was nothing left of it inside (that was a while back-it has gotten worse).  The heat has been intense.  Umberlla’s are out!!! Even the locals are complaining about the heat.

Not much happened this past week.  I sprained my ankle after zone meeting. so i was crippling around, one memeber offered to lend me his wheel chair.  Ah! But it is better now… My back is doing okay. I have been doing physio, and this week they ill be in a lumber corset for the rest of my mission to help support my back. (not looking forward to that).

There have been a lot of jehovah witnesses around lately, eh trying to steal our investigators. We have something they do not have and as a result we have a greater advantage over them.

 

We also accidently walked in to a music video, don’t be surprised when you see me on tv 😉

Highlight has to be Br Nkosi’s Baptism.  So he is what we call a golden investigator.  He was taught by elders I knew and he came to us wanting to be baptised.  His testimony was powerful of how he now knew the church was true.  I love seeing the change that happends in the lives of God’s children this side.  The happiness and light that shines off and how they root their testimonies in christ and not in us.  And the growth!!! Ah!!! He got the priesthood the same day he got confirmed!!! And now he and his girlfriend (a member) are now planning their wedding for next year!!!! Words cannot describe the joy i feel for these two.

 

Conference dosage this week.  We first have zone conference. Super excited for that, we get to see president and his wife!!!! (highlight), and other missionaries – i love learning from others. Then there’s general conference.  Bleak part is we watch it 2 weeks later in our branch… (thank goodness for mondays – cause I cannot wait that long.  I will download the audio so long).  I have been preparing myself by reading past conference talks and writting questions I have had.  I look forward to hearing what the leaders of the church have to share with us, especially the Prophet (and Elder Holldand :).  Knowing that what they all speak comes from the Lord and our Heavenly Father makes it that much special.  I am so grateful to live in a time where we have the prophet and the priesthood.  I know that our leaders are called of God.  I know that happiness, peace and wisdom awaits for us as we not only listen to what is being said but we act on it.

May you all spiritually tune yourself to the sweet messages the spirit will relay to you.  Prepare yourself to receive the answers to your questions and prayers.  Don’t miss out on the opportunity to be guided and taught from on high.  Take Notes then make them practical!

I love you all.

Love,
