My week has been really good. I am just really happy with the progression of some of our investigators. So Shelton still isn't back yet and we have no idea when he will actually come back. So I guess we will see. And as for his older brother Stanley, we haven't seen him for like a week and a half. Apparently he got a new job and works a lot. But he was beginning to have doubts about baptism because he didn't want to be baptized again. The Musauki's, the family who stopped us on the street went to Bulowayo so that the father, who is a member, could get treatment for his heart condition. They are supposed to come back this week so we will see if we can get them ready for the 19th. Otherwise they will be on a later date. Taurai is doing very well, he hasn't had a drink since we taught him the Word of Wisdom. He is now ready for baptism on the 19th. Brother Justice and Sister Pamela, who are referrals from the Gondokondo's, are aslo set to be baptized on the 19th. Once we teach them the commandments they will be ready. They both really love coming to church. They have both come several times. We are also teaching a guy named Valentine, we had taught him three times before stake conference but he didn't come. When we went to see him this week, he was never home, but then he came to church yesterday. So we taught him after church and he too really enjoyed church. He may or may not be ready by the 19th but we will see. These are the ones who are keeping their commitments and progressing very well. Tatenda Mavhiki, the kid who was baptized but not comfirmed a few weeks ago was confirmed yesterday. I was very happy because if he didn't we would have had to rebaptize him.
Yeah the weather has calmed down as far as rain goes but now it is just ridiculously hot. But at least we can keep working when it is hot. On Wednesday night I hit a pot hole that I couldn't see on one of the better roads and it bent the back rim on my bike really bad. So on Thursday I had to ride all day with my tire rubbing on the fender constantly. It felt like I was just riding with my brakes on all day, it was so bad that I had to pedal hard to go down a hill. It wasn't fun and I was so tired that night. But Friday we had some time to fix it and it was really nice to ride without a restriction.
Relief Society President eh? Well don't worry I know you can do it. Just put your trust in the Lord and things will work out. Alma 26:12. I did like Dad's suggestion for your councilors Mom. But I guess that it will work out anyways. "Remember faith, hope, charity, and qualify you for the work." D&C 4:5
I'm glad that things are looking up out in Milford, and that is cool about seeing those eagles. I hope that things will continue to progress. I have decided that there are two things chete (only) that I miss about home besides you guys of course. 1. A washing machine, I really hate hand washing all of my clothes and more importantly 2. Baseball. I have realized just this week that it is baseball season now. I really wish that I could play baseball here. But oh well doing the Lord's work makes me really happy as well. You can still talk to me about what is going on Dad, it will just be delayed a little bit.
I hope that you will all have a good week.
