Bomb

Someone tried to kill the president of Zim this week. Set off a bomb on the stage where he was speaking in Bulawayo.  President got out without a scratch but it injured like 50 people.  Pretty crazy.  Elections comin in hot July 31st.  Don't know what kinda stuff is gonna go down.  We just chillin as missionaries tho.  No one messes with us so I'm not scared.  Anxious to see what goes down as we get closer to elections tho.

Even the other day this drunk dude was callin us satanists and telling us to go back to our countries and was using the f word quite a bit.  We just turn to him and greet him in shona and then he cowers away from us still tryna talk hard hahaha. Stupid. No backbone.

Also, everyday we walk by this guy on the street and he's gotta have like 50 years under his belt and he always looks at me and salutes me and says something like, "Afternoon, chief" or "how are you captain." Sometimes even goes out of his way to put down what he's holding and salute me.....

We've been keeping up with the world cup because that's all anyone ever talks about and every member is always watching it.  People get crazy too haha. Its awesome.  We played soccer in the streets with these kids the other day. Love doing that.  Makes me feel like I know how to play haha. Never had a thing for soccer back home but now its so sick.  Those games get crazy. This one mama we visited was sooo into the game and was acting like mom watching BSU play hahahaha. Felt like I was home.

We found 8 new investigators this week and most of them are awesome! 

One family is just two sisters that live together with their gogo and we contacted them and they seemed not really serious but we followed up with them and they were super prepared for our message and it was a super good lesson!  One of them came to church this week too!

Also, met this baba named Sakwa a couple weeks ago but this week decided to follow up with him and we passed by his place and he was waiting outside for something and he remembered us and gladly let us in and we had a dope lesson with him.  It answered a lot of his questions and he told us as we were walking out that he was about to go to visit his friends but then something told him to wait and he was happy he waited.  So sick.

Also having continued progress with Mai Tawira.  She is one of the best investigators i have ever taught.  She's been speaking with her husband about our lessons and apparently he agrees with our message.  So sick. (we havent met him because he always comes home late but i think we will see him this week) 

Finally things are starting to look good in the area.  Been happy about that lately. Our schedule this week was super busy. 

Also got a call this week that was more than awesome. The elders in Chegutu called me and they gave the phone to one of my old investigators and she told me she got baptized!!  I was so happy! haha Made my day.

Printing out a picture of President Mkhabela and me and then taping that thing on my planner in remembrance.
