5.30.16 Elder Foreman's Legacy

Good Morning Fam,                 May 30th, 2016
Back on the grind for another email. Another Week, another exhausting but yet extremely fulfilling week here in the land of Kagiso. This week was packed with District Finding Activities and  exchanges and wait for it......................the return of the #FormanLegacy. letsget down to the nitty-gritty.
quickly let us in and got his cousin and we sat down and the first question was "Why did you stop coming, I read the pamphlet and prayed about the thing inside, and you never came back?" Elder Ratsi and I just kind of looked at each other and started from there. Needless to say in our lesson this week, Given, bore his testimony about the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon and the positive change he has seen in His life. P.S. he quit smoking and drinking before being taught the word of wisdom because "it harmed my spirit." Again, I am amazed to be here in the sweet land of South Africa were the "Harvest is great and
the Laborers are few."

We began our week with a jaw-dropping lesson. At the beginning of the transfer, we were going through the area book and decided to follow-up on a member referral that the missionaries before had dropped. He

The next day we had a finding activity with the missionaries who are serving in the Florida Area (it resembles nothing close to Florida minus a pond) We contacted for about an hour and got back and they had
the hubcaps stolen off their car. #nothingissafe

After that we had another finding activity with missionaries from the MTC. It is becoming something that I look forward to. Every 3 weeks, we get to take the GREEN missionaries out for their first taste in the

mission field, needless to say South Africa. I need to buy a GoPro and video it. I think it would be a hit in Provo.


I got to spend time with an elder from England and Botswana and had some fun teaching people in
Soweto with them. Fast Forwarding to Friday, we got up at the crack of dawn and drove out to Nelspruit! They are still in our zone, so we got to go out there and do a training and exchange with them. Elder

Lambert and Nelspruit are doing wonderful! and last, but not least. Like mentioned in the subject, we had the
return of the #FormanLegacy. Turns out Elder Forman served here in Kagiso, and we met two of the people that he baptized. One is preparing for a mission and the other got involved in some gangs so we
are working with him. Long live Elder Forman’s legacy.

love you all!
Elder B
