Dancing in the Rain

Hello everyone!  

This week was great! Here are some random awesome things from the week:

One night we had our car wash and this time I got to be inside doing the spiritual part while everyone else washed cars. Sister Mafunda, a sister from South Africa), and I watched a video with the investigators, bore our testimonies and answered their questions. It was a powerful experience seeing how the message of the gospel can touch people lives. The video we showed to some of them was one by Elder Bedna about revelation. Sometimes revelation is like a light turning on in a room - all of the sudden you receive an answer to a question - this is the least common. Another is like the sun rising, slowly the answer comes, and this is much more common. The most common being like a foggy night walking towards the light. You know its there and you can kind of see it but you have to use your faith to keep pushing forward to get to the complete light. I love this analogy because it is so true. As missionaries we commit people to pray about certain things to find the truth. Sometimes they struggle and sometimes they just know. No matter what though Heavenly Father hears our prayers. It just takes us seeking and doing our best to find the light. I am so grateful that we can receive personal revelation for ourselves to guide us and help us. 

One day this week sister sila and I were so busy in our area with appointments we didn’t have time to go home for lunch, so Sila had this brilliant idea to buy a fresh hot baked loaf of bread and some butter on the side of the road and eat that. I thought she was crazy but honestly it was pretty darn good! She said she eats it in Tonga! So we had it Zambian style haha never thought id be in another country eating white bread and butter for lunch on the side of the road in the Kalaingalinga market but I think its awesome haha. 

I also helped one  of our investigators wash her clothes this week in a bucket. That's how people do it here!

So this week it rained pretty bad one morning. So bad in fact that none of us sisters could go out. I have never ever seen it rain that hard. It wouldn’t have even worked to have an umbrella and all of our appointments were outside at the beginning of the morning. So we were waiting for it to stop but while we were waiting for the rain to stop Sister Sila and Sister Kivalu (another Sister from Tonga that we live with) had a fun idea to go get soaking wet in the rain! So we get all ready and we go out and I was just standing there waiting to go out cause it looked so cold and then there came Sister Sila and she grabbed me and pulled me under the big fountain of water that was coming down from the roof and she is super duper strong (she’s like way taller and bigger than me as you can see from the pic) and I couldn’t get out! I got soaking wet and so did she! Then Sister Garner and the others got in and we had a good time taking pics and dancing in the rain. 

Missionary work is great here in Zambia and I’m continually grateful for all your prayers and support. Have a good week! 

with lots and lots of love, 

Sister Moulton
