We made it to 10 months!! Only 14 more to go

Monday... 

still no window...

Tuesday

still no window... people bunked us quite a bit but we tried and met some cool people ( Mitchell told us a few months ago that bunked means they made an appointment but nobody was there when the arrived for the appointment)

Wednesday

got our window fixed! were all good now:) and then we had DDM, Asemahle Interviewed for baptism, etc.. AND SHE PASSED.

But after her interview Elder Harper and I were walking down the street when I felt cold metal touch the back of my tricep.. so Instinctively I flinched and as i did I heard a 'GRZZZPPHGJAAPFH"... (Not exactly what it sounded like but it was a fetching kid, that tried to zap my with a TASER!!!!!!!!!! so I told him to  VOETSAC.. and he ran off.... )

annnnndddd LAttterrr.... we went to go see Nthombi and Ayanda. We thought they just wanted a special prayer because Ayanda was goign to have a very important job interview the next day.. but turns out they wanted to chat for a while hah. So we discussed how they felt about church and the message we shared with them.. Nthombi said something like "before you came i never really was a church person... but I have to admit I LOVE the church!" and Mbali said something like she loved that we did things "how they were done in the bible.. " and that we haven't changed anything, its the same as it was back then.. sounds like they really understand the whole Restoration message! Nthombi also said that she is in 2 Nephi chapter 17... WHAT last week she was on 1 Nephi chapter 8.. so she is just flying through! She told us she feels the Spirit so strong, and even though there are always screaming kids and noise in the house she can always focus when she is reading the Book of Mormon. So we talked about how the Spirit testifies of truth and committed Ayanda to start reading and praying. We have taught her once or twice and she says she loves when we come to visit how it uplifts her and makes her want to be better. So it was a pretty great lesson!!

Thursday 

So we decided to go through our area book and pick a few people that were taught a few years back and go and see if those people are ready or not for the Gospel! Most people were either note home or they quickly rejected us once again. But one door we came to the ma opened the door and before we could even introduce ourselves she was letting us in and callin the whole family together! Her name is Noxolo(click in the name) and she has a wonderful family. We taught them the Restoration and they seemd to understand pretty well. They said that they would love to come to church, and luckily it is super close for them. Andile, a 21 year old guy that was there was funny.. "yeah I don't even do anything on Sundays so I guess I'll come" was his response hahah.

Went again to the Mngadi family. we have taught several of the family but its always random who is home so we kinda have to show up, see who is there and what we have taught them and teach the lesson that most of them haven't heard... so we were thinking it would be nthombi and mbali.. the people we have seen most so we were going in with a law of chastity pamphlet and a tithing one as well. But when we walked in it was basically a family reunion.. not a big one but there were several new faces! Sooo obviously we switched to teaching the Restoration haha. But it was a really great lesson. Nthombi was just smiling the whole time, so happy that her whole family decided to listen to our message. One baba,Arthur, was asking some great questions and we were able to answer all of them so he was happy haha. The whole family said that they would come to church this sunday, which is good because their cousin is getting baptized! so hopefully that will spark some extra interest!! 

Saturday

Did Service for the Khumalos and we cleaned their Garage... the Ndlovus said we did a great job on theirs so they told The Khumalos that...but at least they fed us so thats a Bonus:)) 

Went on exchanges with Elder Knutsen! Hes a pretty cool guy He's been our DL for about 4 and a half months now so were pretty good friends, He's from Washington and he only lives 2 and a half hours from us... so that was pretty crazy! haha but we had some fun and taught some really cool guys:)

Sunday.. the baptism for Asamahle!

It was great except I haven't had time to go buy a new camera.. but other missionaries took pictures so i still got them don't worry! Unfortunately Nthombi and her sisters and family didn't come for some reason... :( BUT we still had 14 investigators at church so it wasn't bad at all:))) 

Heres a few pictures.... The Baptisms on Sunday... Uhhh...Thats me making like all the homeless beggars that like to ask for money at red lights.... "But are we not all beggars?"..(MSH 4:19) ... and the last one was elder Harper and I trying to stay awake during Zone Conference..:) ENJOY!!

LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
