Family-
It's Monday again! How was your week? I hope great!
My week was excellent. It was really nice. We had, had a couple of bummer weeks the previous two weeks mostly because of circumstance, but we were fed up with having lame weeks so we decided to power it this week. We set some goals and really prayed about them. We put for the effort and worked hard. But by Friday night we were far from our goals. Our weeks run from Sunday to Saturday so we only had one day left and on Saturday we also had a meeting in the morning, we had to take some time to plan sacrament meeting for Easter (we were put in charge) and then we had a meeting in the evening, so that didn't leave much time for regular missionary work. But the Lord completely blessed us. We taught all day long. It was so neat! He really answered our prayers.
Speaking of prayers, did I already tell you about the Zone prayer we had last week? Our Zone Leader had us all kneel and each senior companion offered a prayer of faith for their area. There are 8 companionships in our Zone, so we were on our knees for over an hour, but it was so neat. We are seeing the effects of it in our area now.
Another cool story about prayer, Sister Jensen, our flat mate, lost her wallet almost 3 weeks ago. It it she had 200 rand, her driver's license and her bank card. It was nowhere to be found. This week she had absolutely no money left and no food either. Monday evening she prayed to Heavenly Father that He would somehow help her to find a way to eat for the next 2 weeks until our next allotment comes in. On Tuesday they went to go visit some members and they said that they had a surprise for her. They took her to their landlords house and he gave her her wallet. His son had found it on the road. They didn't know who's it was until they had asked the members son if they knew a Kristine Jensen from Utah. Her pray was answered.
I'm off the hook! Dean brought his girlfriend to church yesterday! :) She is so cool. She reminds me so much of Kris. She's not a member of the church. She's Seventh-Day Adventist. I feel sorry for Dean because he won't marry anyone unless they are a member, but Seventh -Day Adventists are the hardest to convert because they believe almost exactly like we do. Except they don't have the Book of Mormon and their Joseph Smith was a lady, but basically the same story. Anyhow, they are really tough. But I really hope Liezel will join because she is really neat and would make a great member and she and Dean would make a great couple.
We had a cool experience this week as we were teaching this guy named Musa. We were teaching him about the apostasy and the restoration of the only true church. Afterwards he told us that he has been praying to God to know which was His true church, because none of them seemed right. He is just really prepared. He is hesitant to make the commitment to baptism because he's worried that he will backslide, or not be able to keep the covenants his whole life, but I think that concern will be resolved really quite quickly. He'll be an awesome member of the church.
Transfers are phone out on Saturday. I'll most likely be transferred this time. It will be hard! I'll let you know next week.
Well, I had better go. I love you all very much! Please take care!
Love,
Michelle :)
