well its august now... sooo... today we had appointments.. taught people... typical week... one of the guys we are teaching, Omega, decided to quit his job... he hasnt been able to come to church yet because of church so he said the heck with it and left.. a Bold move.. But he came to church this sunday:) and when we saw him today he told us that he already found a new one... Seeing the the unemployment rate is nearly 35%.. I was pretty impressed! he said it pays better, is more fun, and he works monday through Friday:) BLESSINGS!
so that was the Miracle of the day:)
Thursday August 3rd

Thursday
Went to go see the Mngadi family.. no one was home, except for ma. She has always sat out of our lessons but she agreed to listen as we read the book of Mormon. Luckily just as we were starting Ntombi came and joined us! She said she LOVED the book of Mormon and she was learning so much and was excited to read and learn more and to come to church!
Friday
well we had interviews with Mission President today...Hes a cool guy:) we talked about pigs for the longest time in our interview... it was quite strange.. hahaha besides that Im "Super Excited" to teach everyone at Zone Conference...
Sunday: August 6th or something?
well today was awesome again, church was great! people showed up, we had fun and elder harper and I taught Gospel Principles:) Have I told you guys that church here is backwards? like, 1st hour is Elders quorum, and 3rd hour is sacrament.... its super weird!! hahaha nobody shows up on time!
Tuesday august 8th
We had to take our car in for service which took soooo long.. too long. but we were able to go to a member's house because he wanted us to teach his two friends. Thabiso and Kwaasa. I've seen both of them before but never gotten the chance to teach them. Well we taught them the Restoration and they are super prepared. Kwasa kept saying how much he felt like he was in the same position as Joseph Smith, just wanted to know the truth because he was confused... and he told us how in the past 2 or 3 years he has been searching for true happiness.. he said he was out enjoying the world and getting that worldly pleasure but he still felt somethin gmissing.. and when he would come to church that whole was filled somehow. Super powerful guy. Thabiso said somethin similar, Thabiso is deep though, like when he speaks he is very careful with what he says and takes time to say it.. I like that because it makes it so easy to teach him exactly what he needs. Point is these brothers are awesome and have the biggest desire just to know the truth so I'm sure as long as that desire remains they will get their answer :) Im excited to teach them again:)
Wednesday August 9th
well today was national womens day... which is actually a much bigger Holiday here than I was expecting! hahaha No offence... anyway, it was nice cause they didnt have school today, so we had more people to teach after our DDM:)
Thursday August 10th
We visited Nthombi and taught her the plan of salvation, she loved it and said she is coming to church and is goi not invite her sister and her mother so hopefully that will all work out :)
we Played uno with one of our investigators Zamo, and based on how quickly she grasped the concept of the game.. We decided to kinda restart the lessons to help her progress.
