Story #1: "Well If you want to share some thing we can just"...(gestures his hand around the corner)
We were told this when going to teach the man I shared about in the subject explanation. We were very confused and a little uneasy about it, but we went around the corner of the house into the garage. Come to find out this man has a church in his garage and that's why were were asked to go there. We ended up teaching these five evangelists about the Restoration. It was really fun and kind of strange. But five possible priesthood holders, so no complaints!
Story #2: You're not a real priest until...you have messed up the sacrament prayer.
I told this to a young man that I just baptized, he recently became a priest. This week was his first time blessing the sacrament. We recently had a branch split we were a little short on young men so we the Elders passed the sacrament. When he was saying the prayer he made a little mistake and then went back and said it again, this time perfectly. It was awesome, after that he was sitting near me and asked, "Am I a real priest now?" I of course said "yes".
That is what happened this week in Gugulethu area. I hope you all wished your mothers a happy mother's day. To all the moms that read this, Especially my mother. Happy Mother's Day

We attended the most wonderful Homecoming talk Mother's Day by a senior couple who was called to a Member Leadership Service mission in Eastern Cape Town. This couple talked about each of our boys as Stripling warriors and mentioned each of your boys by name!! They said "they were amazed at the spirituality, maturity and excellence of the Elders called to the Cape Town missions". They spoke of adapting to chapels that had been robbed of everything, computers, copier and a keyboard anything worth anything! Of teaching the people run a branch, getting them manuals and teaching them how it all works. Of the poverty of the people, yet they are humble, willing to learn and grateful for everything! They said they helped many people with learning how to backyard garden so they could have food; then the gardens caused a ripple affect uniting neighborhoods.
The Senior couple said, now it is winter the people have to wear hoodies or coats and beanies in their houses. I thought it was always moderate, I didn't realize it even got cold. Elder Tucker said "he just bought a hoody" when we talked with him. So wonderful to see and speak with him on Mother's day. When our first son went out on a mission we were only able to call! That call to Bulgaria cost $400 so the internet is better all the way around!! Mom
