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.

Can so much happen in ONE WEEK???

Alright so you remember those two sisters who came to church last week and that was the first time we had ever seen them??? They ere totally baptized last Sat. From the time we met them to the time the were baptized was less than 7 days!!!!!! I still can't even believe it but they were so incredibly prepared that there was really no purpose in waiting. The Bishop has talked to them and he said he is extending a calling next week to them. Our Stake President wants to put their story in the Liahona. So look out for that!

And we had family fun day on Sat as well. So the Trish and Suzanne, who were baptized, they brought there mom and younger sister and they will be baptized on the 10th. The ward had so much fun Saturday that they already felt completely at home in the ward. I had a blast on Sat. We had a soccer match and EVERYONE played even the relief society. Ah, some of those Sisters can RUN!!!! I was laughing so hard because I was so shocked. They can really run and they can run FASTTTTT.. Plus I found out our Bishop is really good at soccer. I guess he almost went professional. So we had a lot of fun. The ward is great.

We also had Zone Conference and that went really well. I felt great after and it was really powerful. President Dube is definitely inspired of God and so are our local leaders. I love the verse in 1 Thess 2:8. Missionary work is more than just sharing the Gospel, it is sharing our souls. Love the people. Mission is powerful!!!

We also received fire from this old baba. He told us he can make it to heaven without the Book of Mormon and that we are robbing other churches..... hahahahahahahahaha Which is hilarious because he also told us it doesn't matter what church you go.... so how are we robbing anyone????? This is the same baba I wanted to give fire to last week. He is very confused. I wonder how he can be helped.....

I am so excited for the Madamombe family! They are the ones that got baptized in a week! Soon their family will be baptized as well and they have such a fire for the Gospel that they will motivate others to investigate as well. Amazing!!!!! Do you want to witness miracles???? Serve an honorable mission!
