Well
Family,
As a
missionary when the day comes you get a message from President that you are
getting transferred, it usually comes with feelings such as sadness,
anticipation, and maybe a little happiness if you don't get a long with your
companion. This Friday, the message came through and I was pretty stunned. Elder
Clegg and I have just been together for one transfer and there are some exciting baptisms and families
that we have found and begun teaching. There are so many great things happening
here so it was definitely bittersweet to say goodbye to the families this week.
I have only known them for a little amount of
time but they are amazing people that I will miss. But whatever lies ahead will
be what God wants and is his plan for me! I’ll find out Tuesday where my new
adventure will take me.
I'll share 3 sweet and
interesting experiences that happened this week.
#1 We started teaching a family . . . . Interestingly,
the Dad found the Book of Mormon in an alley
and he started reading it, later we met him while we were doing service at the
Methodist soup kitchen. Coincidence? I don’t think so. We had a great first
lesson with them. They are pretty glued to their church, but as we testified of
the Book of Mormon, as we did there was special spirit filled the air, bearing testimony
is so powerful. They are going to continue to read and pray about it!!
#2 Our most progressing
investigator William, toughed out 6 hours of conference this weekend (Yes we
got to watch conference! It was so awesome!!), I only caught him sleeping
through 1 talk lol. He will be baptized in about 2 weeks and things are just going
so well for him. He sees a lot of positive changes in his life and wants to
bring his family (who lives 4 hours away) to church as well. I'm jealous of
Elder Clegg, his baptism will be a hard one to miss!!!

| Taxi Ride. . . No need to explain. |
This week I also had
the chance to go on exchanges with the missionaries in Etwa-twa. They are
trying out taking taxi's to get around, which I would compare to the bus on
Harry Potter that goes a billion miles an hour and screeches to a stop. Anyway
it was awesome and an adventure to experience Africa in a tight Toyota Quantum
that smelled like Pap (An African food that definitely should not be used as an
air freshener)..
Another area down and
another adventure to go!
Love you all,
Elder Broadhead
