Miracles happen everyday with
investigators and we never know what seeds we plant with the things that we do
and say
.The exciting news that comes from
Malawi this week is that the work of the Lord is progressing and miracles
happen everyday. Just this last week proved that over and over. We usually have
a branch missionary to work with so they can translate from English to Chichewa
and vice versa. This week we only worked with a branch missionary on Wednesday
and Friday, which can prove to be interesting to say the least. Sister Khumalo
knows a little bit of Chichewa and I am leaning little by little but neither
one of us know enough to actually teach a lesson. So on Tuesday we were
supposed to have a Branch missionary but she never showed up to work with us so
we just did the best that we could. We went to investigators and members that spoke
enough English that we would be able to have a lesson. Well we had got two
referrals from Sister Chua and Sister Ntuli and we were in that area so we
thought that we would just stop by the place that she worked and see if she was
there. Well she wasn't and didn't work there anymore so we weren't sure what to
do. We contacted the guy that was there and have taught him now once so that
was a blessing. So we went in search of the other referral and actually found
out that they were brother and sister so we found both referrals at the same
spot. The brother couldn't meet with us because he was working so we just me
with Tamandani and promised to meet with Enoch another day. It was so neat to
meet with Tamandani because she had progress so much with the other sisters
that she was ready to hear more from us. The first time that we met with her we
invited her to be baptized on July 14th and she accepted so that day we will
have two baptisms and then two weeks later on the 28th we could have between
two and five more. Blessings come in all forms. We also started teaching the
neighbor of one of our recent coverts, since the recent convert wasn't home,
and the neighbor came to church on Sunday. It is so nice, and definitely
different than Lusaka, to have investigators in church each Sunday. Speaking of
investigators in church, Tamandani and her three year old daughter came to
church yesterday and you know how three hours can be soooooo long to a three
year old. Well, she got hungry and was super ready to go home even before
church was over and so I happened to have an apple in my bag, that I think I
had put in there like last Monday, that I gave to her. She didn't care that it
had been there for awhile she was just happy for something to eat. Definitely
won her over.
Yep, I beat you guys to the punch.
The challenge to read the Book of Mormon is open to all!! It is such a good
book and should never be taken for granted
Love you all and think of you often
and feel the strength that comes from you prayers.
