How is everything? I'm sorry to hear about the vehicle problems, that makes life a lot more difficult. But things will work out. Maybe next time you should try to spread out the problems and not have them be all bunched together. It might make things a little more convenient. I'm glad you were able to find a new raincoat. I need it badly.
We have had no luck on finding out who stole our money. We are now all but positive about who it is but he just won't confess. He has been wearing new clothing in the last week and so his uncle asked him where he got the money to buy them and he told him that he had received it from a lady in South Africa that he knows. His uncle knows the lady too so he didn't press. But when we learned this, we called the lady and she told us that she has never given him any money before and that he is lying. Then he changed his story. He then said that he had done some work for a guy in the area scraping paint off cars, but his uncle said that that was a lie. So we are sure it is him, but he won't confess. We were going to take it to the police but then President Dube said that is wasn't a good idea to do that. We found all of this out on Saturday after the baptism. It really put a bad mark on the day.
The baptism went really well. We had 4 people from our area and 1 from Elder Smith and Mtetwa. I was asked to baptize the one from the other area. His name is Norman Dhauka. They said that he could choose from anyone in the priesthood meeting and so he prayed about it and said that I was the only one that he could think of This guy is a very powerful man. He will be a great priesthood member for the area. Of our 4 we had the Moyo family. The mom and her two daughters. Along with Sister Jena. They gave really powerful testimonies at the end of the baptism. Baptism days are the best days. The only problem with this day was the previous remarks.
I have been transferred. You will even be able to pronounce the name this time. It is called Glenview. It is in the same zone as Chi-Town and isn't far so I will still see Elder Roberts on P-days. My new companion is Elder Sefatsa. His is from South Africa. He is a good guy and I have liked him quite a bit on P-days. I have no idea about the area and I don't really know that much about Elder Sefatsa since I just got to my new area yesterday. What happens is we get our transfers on Tuesday at Zone Meeting, then we finish the week before we leave. So next week I will tell you about the area.
But I do have some great news about one of our investigators from Chi-town. Brother Jena has now been cigarette free for 5 days. We have been so happy for him. Every time we saw him we just got really happy. The reason he hadn't been able to quit yet was because he wasn't reading the Book of Mormon on his own. He had just been listening to his wife read because he couldn't see the words, but he borrowed his wife's reading glasses and two days later he had completely stopped.
I have a few of the letters but I don't know who they are from because I haven't been to the Mission Office to pick them up yet. Talk to you later.
Love,
Elder Cecil
