Another Week!

This week has been great! We had three baptisms on sunday which was great! It was Fanuell, Sadi, and Elias, in the picture the guy next to me is donald, he baptized Fannuel, and on the other end is my companion, then elias is the tall guy, sadi is the girl and Fannuel is the other guy. We found out afterwards however that Donald actually has never been ordained to be priest, so Fannuel will need to be baptized again.

My favorite investigator grace is progressing well and will hopefully meet her baptismal date on august 6. Elder Mosweswe and Elder Ludloff met her right before i came so Its been Elder mosweswe and i that have taught her everything. She is super sweet, and also the one who thought i was 30.Her mom and her neighbor both want a copy of the book of mormon and the pamphlets we give her. Which is super cool, the problem is that they need to be in Afruicans, and we cant teach her mom much because she only really knows Africans, which both of u8s only know a little of. But we are probably gonna start using grace to interpret once we finally get the africans pamphlets and books from Pretoria. 

We went on exchanges this week again, with the zone leaders once and our district, the zone leader was chill and knew the area better than i did cause he is actually from around here. And from my district i got elder Clark and we had fun, it was nice to be with another American, we were able to talk about stuff from back home which i cant do with my companion, we got along really well but had trouble finding a place that i had only been once.

We did some fun service in mochudi. Dug up a very large tree stump, i wish i had picture but my camera was in my car and we rode in the truck with the mochudi elders. It took us about three hours. With four of us. It was for a less active and she fed us afterwards, a giant plate of Pap, some chicken liver and some really salty greens. I actually ate it all, but felt like i was gonna throw up, pap is basically tasteless cream of wheat but a lot thicker and with no nutritional value. And it makes me really queasy, but they eat it a lot here, just to fill their bellies.

  we have two young men in our area who are going on a mission and are just waiting for their calls, it takes a long time to get your call here. One of them junior has been waiting for like six months since he tried to submit and they keep coming back and telling him he needs more stuff. If you are a Mostwana you are most likely to be called to this mission sadly because they cant really get foriegn people in and so they need the people from here to serve here. We know that juniors call is coming soon because our zone leader saw it in the mission office which means he is being called to here. He cant wait for it to come but he doesn't know that we know its already here. The other guy though Nnamika was told he wont be called to this mission because he is from Nigeria and so he would have passport problems.

I finally got some music from one of the other elders which is great.

How is Everyone?

Love Elder Smith
