Week 9. Transfer week.

Well this week was transfers and Elder Black is now going to Bulawayo to be an AP and Elder Rasmussen is going to Gweru to be a zone leader. The rest all stays the same.

This week it rained a lot and that kinda slowed the work down a bit. Which is not good. Elder Anderson oversees the Africa Southeast section and he said each companionship should baptize twice a month. We are white washing and creating new areas in a new zone. So, we have nothing to build off of. And the missionaries that used to be here were not great and ruined the trust with the members, then my trainer has only been out for 3 months, so he is also still learning. Plus, it is my first transfer in the field, so I have no idea what I am doing. So needless to say, it has been an interesting transfer.

Also, I should be coming to Zimbabwe this week now. I was reassigned to Farmington New Mexico when I was in the MTC but I flew out to Africa instead. So, this should have been my travel week to get here.

So not much happened this week and my mind went blank on everything else so the SOTW is Alma 37

Have a great week

Week 10. Soccer Payoff.

This week was good. One cool thing about this week was my area has been struggling compared to the rest of the district. But I realized why. I have been thinking that baptism is a huge deal, which it is, but I have been waiting for people to be more committed before I extend a date. This week I realized how will they desire to be committed if they don't have a day to work for. So, I started offering dates and now we have 4 people on date and lots more committed to baptism. Another thing is that as a district every Monday (Pday) we go to the church and play soccer and now I can say that all those years of playing with the Mexicans is paying off for helping me to beat the Africans. They are small friendly games, but we invite everyone to come and play and I have a fan section because nobody has seen a Kiwa play. We did a service project on an illegal farm on Saturday so that was fun. Also they were impressed that a marungu could plow faster than them, I don&#

Week 17. The Spirit of God.

Week 17 January 28 th , 2019 Well the first week of t new transfer has begun. This week was normal, we worked in Pangoline which is that area around the chapel, we have a baptism this week. I don’t really know what else happened. This week seemed so much less interesting compared to last week. But we did go to Bulawayo for Zone Conference, in a combey, in a day, so it may not seem interesting but a combey ride for eight or more hours is always interesting. One cool thing that happened this week was yesterday the senior couple missionaries Elder and Sister Smith came to town, so we had church and it was normal, but after we went to the house of this person the Zone Leaders are teaching, we took the entire zone (all 8 of us) and the Senior missionaries to this mans house. His name is Shepard and he is paralyzed from the waist down. He said he really wanted to come to church but because of his circumstance he can’t. So, all of us took church to him. We sang hymns and share

Week 2. Angels among us.

Hey everyone! It was another great week here at the MTC and now I only have a few days left, I fly out on Monday at 4:45 in the morning and get there a long time later. The Red Sea in the MTC. Elder Williams and a fellow Elder friend. Well I will start with the most interesting highlight of the week. I found an angel. Me and Elder Gammon went to the 6th floor study area to study one day and we met a teacher named sister Orr. She was really nice and taught us some journaling stuff, a fun restoration game to play, and how to say: welcome to the MTC, Welcome to the empty sea, and Jesus Christ loves you, all in sign language. She teaches sign language here and she was nice. But the thing is Elder Gammon wanted to meet her again, so we started asking all the White tags(teachers) and info desks where she is but nobody knows her. We asked at least 50 workers that day and not a single one of them has ever heard of her. So Elder Gammon is positive that she is an angel and jus
