All good things come to an end. How true is that statement. 1996-98 Jazz, Kobe Bryant Career, Chad Johnsons last names, and Lebrons Hairline. lol, but my last week here in Nelspruit has been a great send off. From watching investigators make life changing decisions, to sunrises in the Kruger National Park, it has been a place that has changed my mission and in course changed my life. There have been many notable things happen this week. Starting with last Monday the senior couples (as senior couples do) decided to make a pickleball court and challenge the junior missionaries. Age does not mean grace :)
Tuesday we had an exchange with the Kanyamazane Elders and I had the opportunity to interview 2 of the people they are teaching. I'll share there stories.
The first is a man named Isaac Dladla. He is about 48 years old and lives by himself in a small little garage thingy (sorry for the description) He had a work related accident that left him with impaired movement in his left leg and his left arm. So daily things like putting on a shirt and moving around his home take a lot of effort. Needless to say, he met the elders while walking with his crutch and they scheduled a time to see him and invited him to church. He accepted the gospel and that is all she wrote. #faithlikepotatoes He continues to walk, slowly but surely to church every Sunday. 
The other is a young man named Basil. He is 18, and his mom and dad are both members and he just moved this side from Zimbabwe. Another prepared soul, who hopes to serve a mission in a years time!
Moving on to things that happened this week! We were blessed to have a baptism! Her name is Sizile and she again has a wonderful story. We met about 2 months ago, when Sizile noticed the chapel near her home and decided to come and see what it was all about. We began to teach her at her brothers home (who is a chaplain at the prison and a pastor at his own church) Well fellow shipped and after dreaming about the Tree of Life in 1st Nephi 8 :0 she took the leap of faith and was baptized! Soweto better be ready!
The gospel is true and is restored in its fullness!
