Week 17. The Spirit of God.


Week 17

January 28th, 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 shared our testimonies with him. The spirit was so strong and it was a powerful meeting. We were all cramped into a tiny room that fit only his bed with a three-foot gap around each side. But even though it was just a humble little house and not a fancy chapel, I felt the spirit stronger there then at our big fancy chapel



The SOTW is Alma 32

Have a great week

Week 8. Put your shoulder to the wheel.

This week was another good week. Some interesting things were, we had zone conference this week, so that was fun. Nobody told me that I was going on exchanges with the Zone leader Elder Black so one morning he came out and said you ready for comp. study? And we ended up going on exchanges that day.  Last week when we were in Bulawayo, we were driving to the mission office at night and we saw five drunk guys trying to push a 30ft. bus down the road with cigarettes in their hands. We had 8 missionaries in the van, so we got out and helped push, we ended up pushing it about a quarter mile or more down the road. And Elder Riggs was following us in the van blasting put your shoulder to the wheel. So that was fun, hot, and sweaty.  This week the seventh day Adventists have been determined to teach us and convert us to the sabbath on Saturday. And the first time we met one who started whipping out bible verses and he even had me thinking that we were wrong, but...

Week 12. First Mission Christmas!

I am out of time this week sorry, but the highlight was I got to talk to my family. Everyone is in Kamusha now, so the work was a little slow, and the sun was insanely hot this week so that was not great. We also have no food and no money because of the allotment period so we are starting the new year off strong! SOTW is 3 Nephi 15  Sorry about the short email! Elder Williams Update from Elder Williams Family: It was so fun to get the opportunity to talk with our amazing missionary! We started the morning off a little worried that we would not be able to talk with him because the Elder's were running about an hour and a half late in talking with their families. But we got our hour to talk to him! Elder Williams started off with trying to teach us the Shona that he has been learning. He told us all about his haircut he had a few days earlier. He seemed to still be in quite a bit of shock that his hair was that short. He told us that he is living in a house w...

Weeks 14 and 15. Protests in Zimbabwe

Dear Parents:  We wanted to let you know that your son/daughter will not be emailing today.  Zimbabwe is having economic problems that have escalated this weekend to the point of people initiating protests in major cities.  These protests are against rising fuel costs that went into effect Sunday.  President Okot felt it would be safer to have all missionaries stay in their flat today to avoid any confrontation.  As far as we can tell, this may be a one-day protest.  If things look better tomorrow, they will be allowed to use Tuesday as their P-Day and they will email you then.  Please do not worry!!  Pres. Okot is taking every precaution to keep the missionaries safe.  This is our number one concern.  The Zone Leaders are in contact with each companionship and will report any concerns.  The people of Zimbabwe are a peaceful people, and are only protesting to let the government know that they cannot continue to raise t...
