As a district we had 7 baptisms on Saturday! 5 were ours and the other 2 were from the other elders. It was awesome! I'll attach some pictures. Everything almost went wrong before the baptism started hahaha.
We told the branch presidency for like 2 weeks. It was announced in sacrament meeting for two weeks. We called the week leading up to it, and called the day before. Everything was about to go well..... and then.
1st. 1st counselor shows up and then leaves with the keys before unlocking the doors.
2nd. Branch president shows up later and doesnt have his 1st counselors number to call him.
3rd. The two candidates for the other elders are nowhere to be found
4th. Finally get the keys, get inside and we had exactly enough baptismal clothes. Nothing to spare. Close one.
5th. Branch president asks us "Who is presiding?" ............ Ntshangase is like, "YOU ARE PRESIDENT you hold to keys for this branch!" hahaha
Scheduled to start at 11. Started at 11:45 lol. Went well tho.
For some reason this week i was sooooooo tired. Went to bed on time and woke up on time but just tired. Today I'm good tho. Slept in a little bit haha.
We were freaking busy this week too. Preparing 5 people for baptism along with all our other appointments. Like Tuesday and Wednesday, we had like 15 lessons hahaha,
We saw the phattest grasshopper thing ever at the meetinghouse. This thing was snicker thick. Could have spoken to me. My goodness that thing was massive. Legit the size of a snickers bar but then you add the legs and the wings and stuff. A small bird basically.
Not counting the ones we baptized, we had 8 investigators at church! Awesome. Going to baptize two of them in the coming weeks. Also met 3 kids that need to be baptized.
One of the guys we want to baptize is named Osima and he is the best friend of Tapiwa and Tanatswa, two of the boys we baptized this week, and after the baptismal interviews, Osima told us he wants to be baptized too. He's also come to church the last two weeks. Nice.
Didn't kill anything this week.
Recently I noticed that when I say brother or sister, I pronounce it brotha and sista haha. I hate making the "errrr" sound that we americans are so well known for. hahahaha.
So that was my week. Busy as ever. And we have another busy week ahead of us. Our schedules for Tuesday thru Thursday is filled with appointments hahaha. Losin ourselves.
Love you all.
Stay Steady Grindin'
Cordially,
Elder Anderson

Me and Rejoice. Before sacrament meeting started we were making fun of how disorganized our branch is. Felt like I was talking to Sam haha.
Mom taught me how to wash our big blankets. By stepping on it in a bucket hahaha.
