Hello!

This week was great! We had the baptism of Leon (Mclynse’s younger brother) and Larren who is the nephew of one of the members in Gweru ward! We even got to see Tichagara and Memory be wedded in preparation for their baptism next week! On Wednesday we visited Midlands State University campus to teach Desmond who has a lot of questions about the church and ended the day at the Magaya’s and cooked for them tacos, baked potatoes and no-bake cookies for dinner! As Sister Magaya said, we were eating in America that night haha!

I’ve really been thinking a lot his week about repentance and the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ and how having an increasing understanding of these things can help us to become more like Christ. I see it in my life every day and even in the lives of those we teach! As Calvin gets closer and closer to his baptism, he becomes more and more of a shining example of this. When he first resolved to overcome his addiction, he said it was going to be so hard. But now that he has completely overcome his addiction, he says it is a piece of cake! The gospel has truly changed his life. He even brought up talking with his business partner about closing the mine they run on Sundays so that he doesn’t have any chance of being interrupted from church. Clarence also has had a similar experience. It was just the other day after teaching him the word of wisdom, after having taught him for quite some time, that we found out he has been drastically improving his addiction through the help of the gospel and things that we have taught him.

I love what 2 Nephi 9:21, 41 tells us..
