Hello everyone!
So this week is week one of the transfer with
Sister Sila! She makes missionary work very interesting haha. She is Tongan and
its been fun to get to know more about her and her family and the language too.
She has been learning nyanja and the investigators think its so funny when she
yells, "muli Bwangi" (good afternoo) to literally everyone on the
street. Its been fun to show her around and she is beginning to love our
investigators as much as I already do! Being a trainer is definitely
challenging me in many ways as I adjust to new styles of teaching and helping
her learn the culture of our area.
As for an update on Owen and Mutinta from last
week... we haven’t been able to meet with them and we think they might be
hiding from us haha cause every time we tell them we are coming they aren’t
there... but we are going to find them this week don’t worry. ;)
So I probably haven’t talked about our investigator
George before. He is awesome! We met him while we were walking one day and he
came up to us and asked us what we do. He is studying Chinese for his masters!
So we invited him to learn more about our message. The first lesson me and Godfrey
taught him was awesome. He understood it more than anyone I have ever met before.
And his wife was able to be there too! He just had a baby and they have a six
year old son. When we invited him to be baptized he said "That sounds like
the perfect thing to do," and he has been reading the Book of Mormon and
every time we go he explains EVERYTHING HE READ. He came to church yesterday and
loved it, and yesterday at the end of the lesson he told us how he just
felt like he was doing the right thing. He said he has never been
consistent about church and he feels like now is his time and this is the
place. wow. I love that God prepares his people to listen and I am so excited
for George and his family. The gospel changes lives and I have loved seeing
that with my own eyes since being on mission.
This week I was also reminded how grateful I
am for the plan of salvation. As I have learned how to teach that lesson and as
I get to share my testimony about how we can live with our families again one
day, I know in my heart its true. God has a plan and doesn’t leave us here on
our own. I know that I will see my deceased family someday and I am so grateful
to know I can live with my family forever. People here in Zambia love this
lesson. Sometimes we ask what their favorite thing we teach is and ALMOST
always it’s the
Plan of Salvation, and I couldn’t agree more.
Plan of Salvation, and I couldn’t agree more.
Well that’s all for now!
Hope all is well wherever you are!
with lots of love
