First transfer!

Lets start off with the work! I may have mentioned her but she is my favorite so i'll mention her again.  Her name is Grace, she is a super sweet 21 year old women, with a little boy. She stays with and her mom and a couple siblings and speaks Africans, which is pretty strange here, she also speaks fairly good English as well. But her mom only speaks Africans, and understands little english, so we have not taught her much. But we are waiting for some africans book of Mormons and pamphlets for her mom and their neighbor who are both very interested. 

Grace is on date  to be baptized August 6th and it looks like she will be able to make that date. She does like tea and coffee which is something we are working on right now, she said she would follow the word of wisdom and we just need to see if she is. But she has been coming to church and really enjoys the lessons and is always very inquisitive. Elder Mosweswe and Elder Ludloff met her just before i got here, so Elder Mosweswe and I have got to teach her just about everything. 

We also just taught a wonderful family, The wife is a member and has been her whole life but her husband Mike and her little girl Aiden are not. Aiden will be turning eight soon so her mom wants her to be baptized and so we are teaching her and Mike who is also very interested in the church. They are a super sweet family and they fed us cake so that Aiden didn't feel like we were just coming to scare her with a ton of stuff. Though she was still way shy. 

Other than people we are teaching a lot has been going on, lets start with food. Last p-day we got invited to the ward mission leaders home with the G-West Elders (Griffy and Mapolonka) for lunch. The lunch was cows head and pap, which i have to admit made me a little queesy. I was not able to finish it nopr was Elder Griffy. And they Just laughed at us. W
