My new companion is the best. I love him so
much. Me and him are really good friends. I don't think we will
ever have any contention in our companionship for sure. But yeah he's not
really a new convert. He was baptized 7 years ago. He doesn't know his scriptures too
well, but he's really humble and he's working on it and we're having lots
of really great spiritual experiences.
To Mom:
So this week was one of my favorite weeks on mission so far.
It was just really awesome. Me and Elder Mabanga are so good of friends
which is like the best thing ever. I never have to pray for my relationship
with my companion, or think about it at all. It's so amazing it's like
the best thing ever. We laugh a lot and have the best time. We have
also been having so many spiritual experiences.
We found the best
investigators this week. We met a guy named N on Wednesday.
He's in his 30s and we taught him the Restoration on the road. Then we
brought him the Book of Mormon the next day and he told us that he's married
and has 3 kids. On Friday we came back and taught him and his wife
T the Restoration. They both came to church on Sunday and they
loved it so much. They kept talking about how excited they were and how
they were for sure going to go back next week. We gave them a baptismal
date and they are way excited to be baptized on May 28.
Yesterday we had our first baptism in Langa. a young
woman name E. I wasn't sure how ready E was spiritually, but she
comes to church every week and she has lots of friends at church who take care
of her. Ultimately there was nothing that stopped her from being
baptized. The baptism, though, was really perfect. The spirit was
so strong and E really felt good afterwards. You could really tell,
she was just glowing. She shared her testimony and it was really genuine.
Last week S failed her baptismal interview because
she is still struggling to quit smoking. We saw her every day last week
and had so many spiritual experiences. She is doing absolutely
amazing. She's now in Mosiah in the Book of Mormon which is awesome.
She also read a couple other books that I gave her to borrow. She's
really doing awesome. On Saturday we fasted with her starting at 3.
On Sunday it was her daughters birthday so we brought her a cake and watched
the Restoration movie. E was even there which was sweet and the
spirit in that room was so amazing. Everyone was crying and stuff and
talking about how grateful they are for the gospel and how much they love
Joseph Smith. It was really nice.
Mission has been really great to me lately. I'm just
starting to be friends with the members in Langa and now I'm really excited to
stay. The first couple weeks I was feeling like I just missed Mdantsane,
because I loved Mdantsane, but now I feel fully committed to Langa and I'm
super excited to see some of these baptisms come to fruition.
