This quotation actually comes from a few transfers ago when I was training one of my sons. It has recently become more applicable though today. Our car is getting fixed, so we are biking as most of the district. All four of us. It is super fun. I missed riding a bike. Any who I know you are here for stories, so we will do that.
Story Number 1: Jongi
This week we had MLC which meant lots of travel and little time in the area. When I travel as a missionary I just kind of shut down and do what I need to do to get where I am going and that is it. There are missionaries that find and talk to everyone. That is not usually me. This time was different though. On the flight back I had the opportunity to sit next to a man who was visually impaired and lived in my first proselyting area. I sat down and felt I needed to talk to this man because I was sandwiched between him and his nephew. I did not want things to be an akho taco. Wow I have not used that phrase in a while. So we talked and I taught about the Plan of Salvation and The Book of Mormon and got to know this gentleman. He also was the nephew of one of my favorite members in Gugs. Small country! Well any way, that turned out to be probably my best flight as a missionary.
Story number 2: What to do during a baptism interview?
We have a lady that we have been teaching since September, I think. Something around that time. Well this last week was her baptism Interview. In which we just sit and wait outside. Well during that time I really wanted to talk to our district leaders companion and pick his brain a little. That was one of the best conversations i have had. I don't remember all that we talked about but i do remember that he himself had some pretty incredible experiences in his life that lead him to a mission. I really think it goes to show that the Lord Knows exactly what he is doing when he places trials and tribulation in our life. We obviously get to learn and change course which leads to some incredible things.
l will be able to accomplish a dream/ goal that I had at the beginning of my mission. To have a baptism on my last week in South Africa. I am stoked about that. She is a stellar member. I am so pleased with that there is nothing that can get me down. Then I will be home next week is also fantastic.
Well I love you all and hope you have an amazing week.
