Christ Is King!
-This week was hectic, but it was a good one. Tuesday, I flew to Cape Town for exchanges with our AP's. Something I always look forward to. It was powerful, they're some great Elders. It was also super fun, I got to be with Elder Steenbakkers who's one my boys. It was also kinda weird being by myself while in the airport. But it was a taste of what's to come soon lol.
-I flew back from Cape Town Thursday and the cars in the zone had perished. We had 2 cars put in the shop which is now a total of 3 cars in the shop. For one of them the brake pads, discs, and 2 other things relating to the brakes were clapped. It'll be in the shop for the next 6-8 weeks while the parts get ordered. The other is in for some electrical problem. And the 3rd has been in for the last week for an axl related issue. So, my comp and I have been a taxi service for our Elders. 16 of the 20 Elders in the zone don't live in their area because of safety issues. So, driving Elders there and then back at the end of the day takes about 2-3 hours out of our day. So yeah, it's been a lot of driving this week.
-Teaching has been going well. We are finally seeing fruit from finding through members. Tata Gogwana gave us a neighbor of his. His name is Soso and we have had powerful lessons with him so far, he seems very prepared. We're excited to see where he'll go. Unfortunately, we weren't able to meet with Onam and her brothers this week, so this coming week we hope to put them on date for baptism. We found out Borin and his wife are only traditionally married (tribal) and not legally (government acknowledged) so we'll have to talk to him about that. Hopefully he'll have no problem with it. So, pray that Borin will be willing. Our boy Washington passed his baptism interview that was exciting, he'll be baptized the 28th.
-We got transfer news. I get to stay here in Mdantsane-1 for my last full transfer. Which is a blessing, God is good! I'll be with Elder Roberts again. I've love being a missionary for our Savior!! Words cannot describe what it means to me. I have felt His love so much for His children here and for myself. I have witnessed His atonement change the lives of so many, including my own. I know He Lives, and I know He loves us with a perfect love. I'm going to make the absolute most out of this last transfer.
Jacob 6:5 " Wherefore, my beloved brethren, I beseech of you in words of soberness that ye would repent, and come with full purpose of heart, and cleave unto God as he cleaveth unto you. And while his arm of mercy is extended towards you in the light of the day, harden not your hearts."
Jacob 7:5 "And he had hope to shake me from the faith, notwithstanding the many revelations and the many things which I had seen concerning these things; for I truly had seen angels, and they had ministered unto me. And also, I had heard the voice of the Lord speaking unto me in very word, from time to time; wherefore, I could not be shaken."
1 John 4:18 " There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
