June 1st 2015
Another week has flown by and some
new and amazing experiences have happened, from eating so much that Elder
Sibanda and I couldn't sleep, to trying
to help people come back to church either way,
it has definitely been a "filling" week lol.
Tuesday- somehow the members found
out that it was my birthday so they sent me an invitation, inviting me to my
own birthday party on Saturday. So my birthday was postponed. But it was a day spent
like the many others. . . . Testifying of the Restoration and helping people
see how much is awaiting them in the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. We got to
see a "Gogo" who we are working with, we taught her about the Book of
Mormon and challenged her to read it every day. She ended up reading all the
way through 1st Nephi in the 1st week so the elderly have some power.
Wednesday-New Mission Orientation
with Elder Sibanda, we went down to the mission home and just learned more
about the everyday life of missionaries. It was an uplifting experience and I
can't express enough how grateful I am to have President and Sister Dunn they
are amazing leaders. I am so blessed :)
Thursday- workkkk!!!!
Friday- Zone Meeting and trying to
learn how to teach people the gospel in Zulu. It will take a little bit longer
than expected. Judging from the fact that I told someone to "smell the
Book of Mormon and ask god if it is true" it will require a little more
studying on my part. hahahahhaahahahah I
think maybe I stick to English and leave the Zulu to Elder Sibanda.
Saturday- We had an amazing lesson
with a less-active guy named Tebogo. He joined the church about 15 years ago
when he was 18. He prepared to go on a mission and then he lost his parents in
an accident and just put the mission on a backburner. He know is married and
has 2 kids and wondered if he could be forgiven. One of the greatest lessons I
have ever been in, he wants his wife and children to be taught now :) Tender
Mercies are all around us.
Sunday- Just an example of the
possibilities of missionary work here. We had 3 Investigator families at
church. Pretty amazing and Elder Sibanda and I are #tooblessedtobestressed here
in Rabie Ridge. Life is great, Elder
Sibanda is great, missionary work is great. Nothing could be sweeter.
Love Elder Bhead
