Hey Fam,
So I'll start the email with a quick
shout out to Dad. HAPPY EARLY FATHERS DAY. hope you enjoy your new set of tools
that you can put next to the ones that you got last year :) This week has been
another amazing one and many great things are happening in our area. I'm a
little tight on time so instead of doing the big 5. I'll go from the big 13 to
just the Big 3 (that’s all I have time
for).
#1 We have a family that will be
baptized on the 28 of June. It’s a father, daughter and a crazy son(just kidding). The
mother is some-what interested, but does not feel ready yet to be baptized. We
taught them about the Word of Wisdom, turns out they are already living it
because they "felt like coffee was bad for us because it causes the teeth
to rot." ( I am thankful for African Common sense :)
#2 There is a lady that I told you
about a couple weeks ago named who
really has the desire to change her life and be baptized. She is facing a big
decisions and is scared to see her life change. So we read from Doctrine and
Covenants, how she needs to study it out in her mind first and then ask God if
it is the right decision. We left her with a prayer and are anxious to see what
will happen next week.
#3 We had an amazing experience that
I'll be sending home a more detailed account in a letter. But on Saturday
morning, we were at the church for a correlation meeting and a lady had a
stroke outside of the chapel. We asked it she would like a blessing and then
gave her a blessing. We weren’t sure what the outcome would be but turned out
that she is going to be fine :) She isn't a member, but is just struggling with
a lot of things in her life and she was searching and just needed some love. So
later Elder Sibanda and I brought her
and her kids some bread for dinner and left them with the Elders quorum
presidency to take care of. It was a powerful experience and it will be
interesting to see where this goes.
Something funny this week was we
were fed this traditional dinner of Pap and spinach and peanut butter. It was
like a really weird peanut butter sandwich hahah. Also, one of our Recent
Converts came back from a visit to Zimbabwe and brought what they call "African
chewing gum." It looks like a brown fuzzy pokeball. She gave us a
container full and Elder Sibanda and I will be having some pretty defined jaw lines
after the end of this week. I hope all is well and that you are all enjoying
you summer vacation.
Stay Blessed
Elder Broadhead
