Well shoot.
So one of our planned baptisms didn't go through because the kid was really busy this week so we couldn't finish teaching him but next week we will dunk him haha. The other two went super well though and they chose Elder McDougal and I to baptize them so it was cool. They're both powerful and were super happy after the baptisms. Future was so excited before it haha I love that guy. He brought his friend Junior and even another non-member friend to the service! Already doing missionary work haha and Junior even came to church yesterday! So cool. We even have 6 others still on baptismal date right now! The area is doing so well!
Two of them are a part of this dope family we just started teaching! The mom is Mellisa and one of her kids is Nduduzi. The rest of the family is too young to comprehend anything but Mellisa and Nduduzi accepted a date this week and I felt the spirit so strong in the lesson. At the end, they both thanked us a lot for teaching them the truth because they have gone to other churches and even been taught by other kinds of missionaries but they didn't feel the same when they taught them. They felt worried and afraid of the gospel and God but because of us, they have felt peace and happiness when they learn! Its so cool! And they want to come to church but the group that meets in Pumula has had some troubles to set up the sacrament meetings so the people from Pumula have to go to Nkulumane for church right now. And its pretty far. But yeah we are super stoked for Mellisa and Nduduzi!
There's also this part member family, the Dube's and one of the daughters is now home from school and she was interested in learning from us so we started teaching her and she came to church! Not even with the members in her family haha. So that's exciting. She told us she had been taught by other missionaries but this time she understood a lot better! Nice.
We also had zone conference this week and it was dope! Sister Mkhabela said something that hit me pretty hard that I will remember for the rest of my life haha. She was probably quoting someone but she said, "The pain of discipline is temporal but the pain of regret is eternal." Chills down the spine am I right? Took some nice pictures at the conference with my boys out here though so I'll attach those.
So Elder Petersen has been teaching me how to play guitar in our spare time at the house. I can already play like 3 songs so that's dope. Successful week. Sadly he'll be leaving this week sometime to go start training his visa waiter so then it will be back to just me and McDougal. Gonna miss that guy.
Oh yeah so about the broken house, the ceiling in our bathroom collapsed while Elder Thomas was showering hahahahaha like only a corner fell but it made rocks and dirt fall everywhere so now its barely hanging on and each time we look at it, it seems lower. Also, I don't know if I have said this before but the shower shocks us too. Sometimes when you adjust the water, the handle thing shock you! lol It's ridiculous but its so funny. I have lived in the two worst houses in the mission hahaha. We might be moving again soon.
We played volleyball and football as a zone today and it was so sick. Couple of elders started calling me Tom Brady hahaha
Got another dope haircut this week. Trying to grow it out as long as I can within the rules hahhaha.
Yeah well that's all I have for this week. Time is flying that's for sure. Its already week 4 in this transfer what the.... Crazy. Love you all. Have a solid week. Church is true.
Stay Steady Grindin'
