Hey Fam!!!
Sounds like things are
heating up in STG and you'll have to send my love the Wagner way as they
pick up Jake this week.
Time.Goes.By.To.Fast!!! This week has just flown past, we had transfers and learned more about the pure basics of the gospel and how to teach it. As for transfers, our zone didn't see many changes. Only 2 out of
the 8 companionship switched and the best news is that...Elder Ratsi and I are together for another transfer :) The rest of the week went as such, I was able to study Alma 12-20 and was just reminded about how simple the gospel is and how simple we need to teach it! A great example is that of Ammon and King Lamoni. All through out chapter 19 Ammon is teaching simple the gospel and bearing his personal testimony of the truthfulness of the things he is teaching. Coupled with that, we listed to a talk given by President Uctdorf in which he said
"Let’s be honest; it’s rather easy to be busy. We all can think up a list of tasks that will overwhelm our schedules. Some might even think that their self-worth depends on the length of their to-do list. They
flood the open spaces in their time with lists of meetings and minutia—even during times of stress and fatigue. Because they unnecessarily complicate their lives, they often feel increased frustration, diminished joy, and too little sense of meaning in their lives. Leonardo da Vinci is quoted as saying that “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication". When we look at the foundation principles of the plan of happiness, the plan of salvation, we can recognize and appreciate in its plainness and simplicity the elegance and beauty of our Heavenly Father’s wisdom. Then, turning our ways to His ways is the beginning of our wisdom."

My advice this week. Take it simple, Look at what matter most and do it! The work here in Kagiso continues to grow and get greater and greater! A couple highlights. Mamello passed her interview so she will be
baptized this week! Both her mom and her dad passed away, so she moved in with her uncle and that is where it has began. Given, the 21 year-old from Venda, received his answer that the Book of Mormon is
true and will be swimming in the waters of salvation on the 26th. He wore a white shirt and a tie this week and looks like a member :)
Love you all!
