This week was a pretty adventurous week.

First of all… Sunday afternoon will probably go down in history lol. Somehow after church, we ended up with lunch/dinner appointments for the rest of the day!! I’ve never eaten so much in one day in my life. We went to 3 different houses, one right after the other, each with LOTS of NICE nice food AND dessert. YOH! I still don’t know how I made it the whole night without getting sick. I probably gained around 5 kg though haha.

On Saturday, we had just left the apartment to go to an appointment about a 30- 40 minute walk away, when it started to POUR rain! It was only a matter of seconds before there were huge orange rivers splashing down the sides of the roads! I was excited for the adventure and an adventure is was! We had walked through many ankle-high rivers and had dripping dresses and hair by the time we finally got out of it. It was a great adventure.

We finally got to see George again! He has been busy moving his family to Gweru and stuff. When we were with him, he was like hey do you want to talk to Dube? And he just called his uncle and we got to talk to Elder Dube! Haha pretty cool!

This week we found the Steven family! Brother Steven is a super spiritual man and was even kicked out of his house at the age of 17 for “following Jesus Christ.” He is pretty skeptical about Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon and was asking about scriptures from the bible about the coming forth of Joseph Smith, but at the same time he seems to have a very willing heart and open mind. We have been teaching about the Book of Mormon a lot and will continue to use it as our main tool to help him receive an answer to his  prayers! He is very interested tho and has lots of questions but wants to be sure for himself, through prayer, that our message is true. It might take some time, but I see the Steven family entering the waters of baptism!!

I love Alma 37:44-47 that talks about giving heed to the word of Christ. And if we do so, just like Lehi and his family followed the Liahona, we will be lead to wonderful places!!  All we have to do is look to God and live!! Let’s look to God and live through this new year and never get distracted because of the easiness of the path!

I love you all!! Happy New Year!!
