4/4/16 Zone Conference

Hey Fam!
 All is well in the paradise of Nelspruit. It has been one interesting week, with lessons learned and with a lot of time spent in the car (still not used to it).

I'll start off with the brief recap of our week. 

On Monday we invited a recent convert and his wife over to the Black's for a family home evening lesson in for a little birthday celebration. Not to pick favorites, but they are one of my favorite members here in Nelspruit. Thulane and Lorraine have been married for about 5 years and Thulane actually despised the church Lorraine was attending.The wonderful senior couples here persisted and met him at a restaurant ( where most senior couples spend their time wink, wink) Anyways they could see the difference between apples and oranges and they started to teach him and he was baptized and hasn't looked back since. They stay about an hour from the chapel and magnify their callings and are going to the temple in August!  




Other than that we left on Tuesday to head to Joburg for Zone Conference and or able to do a session in the temple, oh how I am grateful for the temple and the knowledge that I gain as I attend. I was even happier to hear that the new temple was announced in Zimbabwe, the first thing I did was call Elder Sibanda. and let him know about the news. I don't think I've ever heard of a happier person to hear a temple announced in his country. It was pretty sweet!  

On Wednesday we have a zone conference went by President Dunn and the Assistants. it was perfect! They mainly addressed working with members and becoming more effective tools in the hand of the Lord. It was what I needed to hear!


We drove back and had a couple of days to proselyte in the area. I'll share our little miracles of the week. Sizile, who is on date for the 17th, had to go to Johannesburg because her daughter, while pregnant, fell, broke her jaw and went into labor prematurely. We called the assistantsto let them know the situation. Handy- Man Elder Pickup and Superman Elder Clegg were able to make it through a public hospital in downtown Joburg (nearly impossible in itself) and give the Sizile’s daughter a blessing. The baby and daughter are both doing great! I am so grateful for the priesthood and the miracles I get to see because of it's power.

We also made it back to Kruger, this time I found a snake and a rhino!


Time is short so I gotta take off. 

Life is what you make it! So make it count!
Love, Elder Bhead
