So that brings me to the week. This week has been a very good week. We have been teaching alot of father led families and we have been Extending the Baptism invitation to almost everyone we are teaching, so we can find the very elect. We had some ups and downs just like most weeks but our work is defiantly improving. Monday was a normal P-day and we all got some rest so that was nice. Tuesday was eventful because we've been trying to track down one of our investigators who is dodging us for whatever reasons and we finally tracked her down. Later we went and did some service at the place for those kids (they have now parents alive)(which I sent a picture) and then we met with Max. A man who is prepared for the gospel. He just left his church because of some issues with a pastor and he is struggling with his family life. He has three kids and he loves and cares for them much more then any other dad that I've seen around here. Unfortunately he said that his marriage is struggling and he is scared that it will drive him to drinking which isn't something he wants, because he knows it only causes more problems (due to experience). He has come to church with us once and later in the week when we saw him he said he has already seen changes in his life and wants to be baptized. So we set a date for the 31 of October. Wed. we had a challenging day because we were working in town but we managed to find some new investigators and it was a rewarding day. Thursday we did our weekly planning and our work (average day) Fri. we had a great district meeting in which we talked about the new training that the Missions have been learning. We also had a great group meeting with some members and investigators. The meeting is called u-night, it's a way to get members and investigators together and get to know one another. It was pretty successful. Saturday I was on exchange for Interviews in Lenyenye and it was a great day. We did some more service by bucketing water from a stream for washing clothes and cleaning. (I sent pics) All of the interviews were successful and the day was great. I love getting to see the other areas of the district and to see their progress. Sunday was the best of the whole week. We had Five Successful baptisms of Brother Sekobela and his wife and two kids. As well as a baptism for Noriah that we have been teaching since I got here and we finally decided that she didn't have to wait for her husband. So now her husband has been coming to church and I think it will motivate him to start doing what it takes since he does want to be baptized but he lacked the motivation. Afterwards we had another appointment with Max which I already talked about but it was a very rewarding week.
1. So who was the relative in the hospital
2. Have you seen the missionaries in the stake yet?
3. Is there anyone from there going on mission this side?
4. I can't think of any more questions, do you have any?
Successful baptisms that he has been working on for a while.
When he was a little guy his Dad would tell him to lift the bucket and get his milk toasts working in other words his muscles growing and straining from working hard. It would make him really mad for some reason but he did work hard to help with the chores and the watering of the horses or feedign the bales of hay. It is now quite fun to see him again really using his MILK TOAST by really using the MUSCLE on his MISSION hauling those buckets of water to help make little childrens lives a bit cleaner and easier for just a day.
