Favorite Scripture

Deuteronomy 1:2
"There are eleven day's journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadesh-barnea."
Confused? One of his favorite seminary teachers taught using this as a the preface. She explained that the journey took 40 years, should have taken eleven days as the scripture says. If we are doing what the Lord wants, then our journey doesn't need to take 40 years.

"I feel like a prostitute....", "I am not at home....", and "The font isn't filled"

So peoples, this week was good and very interesting. Well to begin we had a lesson with Brother Ngwaru, the old man who has been a Catholic for 42 years. Well we were talking about prayer and the Word of Wisdom and out of no where he says, "I feel like a prostitute..." It took every ounce of self control I had not to burst out laughing. I think e was trying to relate the feeling of learning and wanting to go to another church.... maybe.... hahahaha That was really funny. He is still reading from the Book of Mormon. Which is powerful.

Then at Innocent and Enesia's house we get let in by the sister and we sit down and it is completely empty. So we call Innocent and no one answers and then we call Sis Enesia. She answers and we start talking to her but the funny thing was when she told us she was home, we heard it twice.... how you might ask? Well we heard it through the phone of course and we also heard it coming from the bedroom in the hallway..... That was a shocker and she told us we should come back the next day. That was not my most fun experience on mission. Actually that one really hurt. BUt we will see. We are suppose to go there tomorrow. So we will try to find the concern.

Then on Saturday we were suppose to have a combined baptism. But we get there and the font is NOT filled! The baptism was suppose to start in 10 minutes. There also isn't any electricity to activate the water pump so.... the water trickled in. So we spent the morning fixing that. We ended up going to a different chapel and all 8 people were baptized. So all is well. None for our ward, the baptisms were for other units.

But we have actually found three more families and have been teaching them we will have to work very hard to make sure they are all baptized. But it has been very good. The only problem is, our area is big and the meeting place is far. But we have a plan this week. We will have to see what happens. Sorry this is short we are in Bulawayo and my time is running out. Good bye!
