Companion - Elder Dlamini
Letter #46
Dumela majitas!
This week was super mongovious! We had like 22 lessons and the Book of
Mormon stand was off the wall!! We have over 50 people to visit this week!
Elder Dlamini and I are still working hard and giving our best effort. The
Gofhamodimo family are not coming to church anymore or even reading so we have
not been able to visit them as often. We are not exactly sure why. It seems that
the mother does not want us there and also one of his daughters found a lot of
anti mormon doctrine and even received a lot of crticism at school in Gaborone.
We are sad for them but we have not completely given up hope yet.
The time seems like it is flying by the past few weeks. We are teaching
many people and having lots of success. WE have been working to get less actives
back to church and part of that is finding out where they live since there are
no addressses here. There are two families we are especially helping the Lenong
family and Mologkadi family. They both have strong testimonies of the Book of
Mormon but did not have much fellowshipping or friends at the church which is
the reason we have found that most people are inactive here in Kanye.
Another highlight of the week is that we did a Book of Mormon stand Tues
and weds and saturday morning and we received 58 names of people to go visit
this coming weeks 35 of which were males over the age of 18. We worked hard to
get only people who showed real sincere interest to give us their details so we
are hoping for a high percentage of success out of these people. We fasted and
prayed for the stand to do well last Sunday and so far it seems that things are
going very well. We were able to visit two of the fathers last night to deliver
them their book of Mormon and also to share a lesson with them. Both of them
were very weel ducated and had many qiestions for us.
As part of the book of Mormon stand we also enjoyed giving law of chastity
pamphlets to as many immodestly dressed people as we could. Oh and a makua(white
person) came up to me and asked me where I was from. In my mind I was thinking
"I'm from Botswana! What the heck are YOU doing here!?" haha She is in the peace
corps and they start training in kanye. She is from Salt lake but NOT a Mormon
ha. Elder Dlamini tried to give her a bok of mormon and of course she said no
and we even tried to convince her to let us come teach her so she could have a
cool story that she grew up in utah but got baptized in botswana! haha. We have
here number so we might be able to teach her.
I'm sorry i forgot my camera this week... I took tons fo pictures and I was
excited!
So there are transfers next week! Guesses? Staying? if yes, new
companion? going? where? leadership? or will I be a private my whole mission?
haha
So I'm also suoer glad that we had a successful week cause it also could
have gne the other way to to the fact that Elder Dlamini found out somebody that
may or may not have been very special to him got married last week. i know he
still wants to be amissionary but since he only has 3 months left he says he
just wants to go home now.
Sala Sentle Family!
Love you all!
