This week was good. Although we were kind of sad we had to leave our area for a few days to go to Harare for exchanges, we had a good time and learned a lot. We had to stay an extra day last minute, so we ended up getting to spend the night with Sister Bergen and Sister Erickson and we made brownies and had a party. It was so much fun.

At church, they made last minute plan changes and Hilda and Panichi (Punish) were married yesterday afternoon! It was so great though. Next step, baptism!!

We visited a referral we got from a member, their maid, Patty, who has been coming to church with them for many months! She enjoys church and wants to be baptized! The challenge that we face with Patty is that she is deaf. She doesn’t know sign language, so the only way she can understand people is by reading their lips in Shona, or by reading. She is the sweetest thing though and, even though it might be challenging, is willing to learn!

I love this work so much and especially how much of it there is to do here. It is so wonderful to watch people grow closer to Christ as they learn more and understand about His gospel! There is truly no greater joy than that which comes from missionary work!!

Love you all.

Sister Burt
