It's so insanely hot, plus i am sick. Not a fun combo.
I've been working on my handwriting like I said. Hope it's actually improving.
Speaking of improvement, whitewashing is starting to stop being a problem, and things are now 100% back on track how they should be. Filled in all the empty records, had a child of record baptism, got some new people added to the pool, and 2 guys should be baptized on the 26th.
but Monday Nothing again.
Tuesday, Read my favorite chapter of the Book of Mormon with some members, 2 Nephi 4, had a powerful time. Very strong spirit, they loved it. They were somewhat less active, but they've been "inspired to commit harder"
Wednesday, we spent most of the morning in the flat with me sick, but later in the day we saw a few people, mostly taught the Plan of Salvation, good day, but not a lot to report
Thursday, We say Brenden about tithing, he is the one who is very close to baptism. He loved that no one is payed, that the church has no debt, and that all the money goes toward helping others. He was very impressed. He loves the Church and can't wait to be baptized, but he can only meet on thursdays, so its been slow getting to this point. Hes a student at the University of Botswana, who comes from Swaziland. Cool guy.
Friday, Went to the memorial service of an elderly member, we sang a lot at it, but it was pretty "Mormon" style thing. We went to see the investigator Prince, who's mom was sick, so we gave her a blessing. Saw a new investigator named Detere (Dee-Tear-Ay). had a good lesson about the Restoration, but his english is poor, so we need to take a translator with us in the future.
Saturday, we went the burial of Bro Matatla (Ma- Ta-Kla) which was nice, they dedicated the grave, and sang alot of hymns, both Our hymns and the Traditional Motswana (word for Botswana's people) Hymns. But it was very hot and some people fainted. Its been consistently around 40C. (104F).
Its been a strugle not just staying in the car with the Aircon blasting. then we saw Kefeletso who is starting to seem less interested since we told her us coming doesn't mean she doesn't need to go to church, and that we dont just give out money. SO probably wont be seeing her much longer unless she starts to actually keep commitments. Had dinner with A member named Sister Mopane, and talked about Enduring to the end. Ill ask those who read this to go read 2 Nephi 31.
Sunday was Nuts. The meeting was pretty normal, but during priesthood, the Ward mission leader says, "hey drive us to the Gaborone West Chapel, we dont have any baptismal suits and we have a child of record baptism today." So we drove over there, stole their suits and then ran back, just in time to have it start on time, but it was a stressful hour, because apparently, we were supposed to go get the suits, for the baptism no one told us was happening, so they got mad at us, until the Ward mission leader stepped in and told us it was his fault for not telling us.
Today, We went and played soccer. It was 8 Elders since they're all here in town to go to dinner with the Second Counceler in the Mission Presidency, President Mangenela. So we're gonna go have a good time there tonight, but we played soccer, ate tacos, then had to find a new email place, since our normal one was closed.
The Clouds here are cool. Nothing Beats the African Sunset, wish i had a camera good enough to take better pictures. Upload speeds here are worse then the normal place, might have to send the pics next week.
