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

Week 5. Blessed this Mama's field.

So, this week was good. We have a lot of success finding people, this last week we found 30 new people to teach with return appointments, the problem is they are never home for the return appointments. I ate a lot of sadza, tried to learn more Shona and taught a lot of lessons. So, it was a good week. Some things I will highlight about Zimbabwe is one the driving here is freaky, there is a system but no law. You can go as fast as you want, pass whoever you want and as long as you are on the left side of the road, you're good. There are no buses to go around town, they have little vans called convoy’s and you just cram as many people as you can into them and have some guys hang out the windows and you drive across town. So those are fun to ride in. I had to teach Elder Owuor what a sandwich was for lunch one day. I have to ration my water or else we will run out, as a matter of fact we are out of water right now. We usually run out at the end of the day, so I have to br...

Week 6. Blessings of an upset Stomach.

Hey! How is it going? It was a good week this week. Some cool things were we had exchanges this week and I went with our district leader Elder Rassmussen. It turns out he grew up in Highland, he built Creekside park, the park that I spent a lot of time at, and we used to do a lot of the same stuff before we came out here. He is a great guy and was a lot of fun to do exchanges with. A cool experience we had was we had an appointment set and the people were actually there and waiting for us. They gave us a drink called Mahuo and it actually hurt my stomach and was nasty, but I drank all of it. The lesson was awful, and they got stuck on ghosts haunting houses. But that isn't the cool part. The drink hurt my stomach, so we were walking slow to the next appointment and we saw this lady walking the other way, so I said “Makadii” which means how are you and we both walked on. But she turned around and yelled for us to come back so we did. She wanted to know who we were and what we...

Week 11. African Haircut.

Another week done. It was a good week as well. Some highlights where I worked on an illegal farm, but there is no law enforcement so who is going to stop them from farming illegally. I actually think every farm here is illegal.  I got a haircut and went to an African barber and now my hair is the shortest it has ever been. I walked in and said you can cut my hair like this right? And he said yes so, I sat down. Then he started on the sides and it was short, and I thought it’s okay I can make do. Then he cut the top and he just gave me an African hair cut on an American head. So needless to say, my hair is super short now.  We had the Christmas party in Bulawayo, so we got up early and made it there late and got home at 10 that night so that was good. Not really.  We put 7 people on date to be baptized and we had 8 people baptized this week so that was really great.  SOTW is Helaman 14. and 15 they are great.  Have a great wee...
