Monday, Elder Wilson made history being the first missionary to get a 1 year visa to Botswana, then we played a bunch of games all day.
Tuesday was when mostly a bunch of tracting, but we found a few people that i'll talk more about on the days we actually saw them. we also had a bunch of fun meeting a Recent Convert named Mheto who was here in the Villiage for The Botswana 52 Independance day that was on the 30th of September. Also put a long time investigator named Idoh on date again, this time for the 21 October.
Wednesday, we saw a lot of members and tried to help out with Ministering a bit.
Thursday, was a complete mess of finding people after everyone had canceled due to torrential rain. I got video that cant send, Ill show you in a few months.
Friday, we were back in Gaborone to get the visa sticker for Elder Wilson, so we had district meeting down there, when we came back we did some member visits to try and get refferals.
Saturday, we put 4 people on date, a whole family way out in a place called Kapong, refferals who are really, really excited, but the english is very poor, so its slow going. a bunch of crazy stuff happened involved muddy puddles, gift fishes, and farting children that i can't describe without the videos.
Sunday, we had church, celebrated the Independance and Elder Wilsons birthday, which are the same day. Sis Moremong, the member we buy lunch from every day, gave a talk and she gave Elder Wilson the Twana name of Boipiso, which means Independence, so everyone calls him Elder Boipiso now. That night we drove up to G-west for a hike and meeting in the early morning, i'll try and send pictures from up on top of Oodi "mountain" got some nice shots.
Monday, after said hike we went to party with President Manganela, the 2nd counceler in the Mission Presidency, he is one very funny man we had a good time and a lot of food.
Tuesday, we had some very good lessons to start the day. We went to see a guy named kennedy, but when he wasn't home we had a great Resotoration lesson with his younger brother, Bitlo. then after that we had an even better lesson with our new somewhat Golden Investigator Kenelwe, who we met on tuesday. She asked some awesome questions about why some churches only seem to have peices of the truth, and she wanted the whole thing without any other stuff mixed in. So that was a lot of fun. We also put Khumo on date, a long time investigator and mother to Jonathan.
And then today all the buisnesses are open again after all the fun.
So yeah a lot has happened.
Upload speed is dumb, I'll do my best with pictures.
But here are some nice quotes and thoughts.
