This week went by very quick. Sanele has been coming
to church and gets baptized this coming Sunday. He is 16 years old. His sister
is older than him and is also a member. The rest of the family has not been
taught yet. We hope to get to know them and start teaching them soon.
This week I had some good studies especially on
Wednesday. Elder Dutson and I found some great scripture to share with
investigators to help them understand and progress. We did get dropped by one
investigator named Paul. It was sad but he wouldn't hear anymore. Something
about him changed dramatically. I had my first lesson by candle light this
week. The power keeps going out in certain places in Protea Glen. Sister V went
four days without any power and it was just her street.
We have tried to visit more members to get more
referrals but there is not much we can do when we don't have a member list or a
map. Next Sunday will be a good one with the baptism. Hopefully we can get Gugu
and Lebo baptized soon as well.

Letter to his mom:
Wow, I am very grateful
to hear the surgery went well and you are recovering! It is an answer to
prayers! Life should be much nicer now. This week was better as far as my
companion's motivation. Sorry I don't write specifics. It just feels long and
tedious. I will send a hand written letter sometime. I got some from you, one
from Grandma DeDen, and one from Calvin. I will respond to them. One letter I
got from you was disgusting. There was black stuff all over it. I might send a
picture of it to you sometime. Well, get well, be good, and I continue to pray
for you.

Part of his
letter to his dad:
We taught Sanele. He, Gugu, and Lebo came to church. THINGS
TO PREPARE FOR MISSION: Worthiness, Study Book of Mormon everyday, study the
New Testimate, Preach My Gospel, help the missionaries with teaching, Seminary
and Institute are important, and Mission Prep classes. PARENTS: take your sons
for home teaching and service. Family Home Evening every week. Invite
missionaries over. Study the scriptures together as a family. Serve and care
for those in your family. Be an example. Invite friends and fellowship......
About pigeons:
Yes, from plucking them.
We cut the meat off of all the pigeons after we boiled them. Then we seasoned
and fried. They were yum yum. :)
