Ho ho ho beloved friends and family,
Elder Jantjies and I had to laugh today as
I read to him all of the emails from friends/family complaining about the cold,
it's full blown summer in Lesotho! 😎 It's so hot that
we walk out of the shower still covered in sweat.. delightful :)
Well this week FLEW by! To be candid, we struggled finding
people to teach. During Christmas everybody wants to go home, and those that
are home are celebrating with family; so it's hard to sit down with people to
teach. HOWEVER, the Lord provided for us! I've learned that as missionaries
(and frankly as human beings) we're frequently tested to see how committed we
really are to this gospel and to the work of the Lord. When we prove diligent,
the Lord pours out blessings. When we don't prove diligent those blessings are
withheld.
We were invited to another event hosted by the HWPL! (I
mentioned them about two months ago. They're an organization that strives to
bring about religious tranquility by hosting scriptural discussions and helping
different denominations understand one another). We placed two copies of the
Book of Mormon while we were there! One of them was ECSTATIC, I've never seen
somebody so happy to receive a copy! I pray to hear more about him from the
missionaries that work in his area (he's from South Africa, still in Durban
mission)!
Well, the time is far spent, but all I can say is I love
this work! I know that the Lord guides His missionaries! Elder Jantjies and I
definitely saw that this week! I'm grateful for His Spirit, I'm grateful for
the conversion that can take place in all of us! I know that God lives! I'm
grateful that He allows us to change! I wouldn't trade my mission, nor the
things that I've learned and the man I'm becoming, for anything!! The restored
gospel is true!!
Merry Christmas!
