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.

: Elder Chikota, Mncedisi, and ZL Council

Dearest People's!

I know the Church is true! And I know that The Gospel has been Restored!

Just thought you should know. But this week was pretty good, I have a new companion Elder Chikota and he is from Soweto in South Africa and he is good and I can see that he will continue to learn and grow and that he will be a good missionary. We had a good experience with Mncedisi. He has been struggling with smoking and he has had some concerns and we were really close to dropping him as you know but that is when he came to church and guess what happened this week??!?!?! Well we went and it was Elder Chikota's first lesson on mission and we are following up on his reading and he has made it to 1 Nephi 20 and he has been marking it and he has been understanding and he said his concern was resolved and then he said,

"Tell me about Baptism....." Then he looked right at me and said, "Why do you look so happy?!" Hahahahahaha "When is the next baptism?"!!!!!!!!!! It was so powerful and we are really excited for him and for his progression. There is great joy over the soul that repenteth.

We have been really finding a lot and it has been a great experience and we feel that we will be able to achieve a lot in helping the ward to grow and be strengthened. BUt I also went to a Zone Leader council and we were discussing the whole mission and how we can improve and we had a very lively discussion and felt really good about what was planned but we also spoke about what the mission will be doing for Christmas and it seems that we might be doing something pretty awesome. I hope so! I suggested going to Victoria Falls as a mission but President said that wouldn't be possible. That was sad. But it seems like it will be powerful!
