Wohoo! Six months this coming Saturday! Time really flies when you are working hard.
The week started out with an awesome Zone potluck at the Zone Leader's boarding and we ended up eating a lot of rice haha. But I was able to bake a chocolate cake which was dessert for everyone and we all really enjoyed it.
Tuesday I was on exchanges in my area with Elder Greengrass from England. He's a super good musician and loves to sing and play guitar so we had some fun on the drives between appointments. He's a wonderful teacher and it was fun to spend a day serving with him.
Wednesday was back to the grindstone with our baptism prep and teaching so we were really busy
Thursday was an awesome day! We had Zone Conference and Training with President Ellis from the area presidency! Woah what a guy. It's amazing to be taught about missionary work and the scriptures from a general authority. He's an amazing teacher and because I'm a trainer I got to go to the Missionary Leadership training he gave after as well so that was awesome to have an extra hour of learning from him. I did have to give a talk during the training which was a little nerve racking but it went well. It was an amazing zone conference all around.
Friday and Saturday were baptism prep days. Saturday Motherwell (PE area) had 10 baptisms so they had to borrow the baptism clothes so Saturday night we were doing a lot of laundry, lucky for them they have a drying machine so it was really nice to get laundry done.
Sunday was the highlight of the week! Baptism day!
We were able to baptize Mama Yalolo and her daughter and now she and her children are all baptized! She has invited her best friend and sister to take the lessons and now we are teaching them as well which is awesome! Aviwe was also baptized and she has started to re-activate her mother to church and I think we may start teaching her grandmother! Khanyso is awesome! He's an awesome potential priesthood holder and we're hoping he'll have the desire to serve mission! The three girls are best friends and they were able to bring Makhulu to church as well to witness the baptism and it'd be awesome if Makhulu wanted to start being taught as well!
7 baptisms at once was a lot but thanks for all the prayers and support! It was a busy stressful day but the Lord made it work out! We've had 8 this transfer and Elder Milne and I are both praying to stay together at the end of this week but we'll see what happens come transfer news Saturday!!
Until next week!
