Hey everyone! Today's email is going to have a bit of a different format because I have many things to do tonight. Here are a few highlights of the week…

Highlights:

We talked with Brother Mosweswe (the father of my trainee from Mochudi) and he told us all about how he started Gerald Branch, which was very cool. Hopefully, we can continue to work with him!

We raced Lucia's (our recent convert) brother Puseletso, which was very funny. He was so sure he would win. I think the Makoa surprised him.

Havea had to go to the dentist today, so that was a nice little morning adventure. We also got 9 lessons the same day, which was great.

We went home-to-home finding in the car since it was 40°C, and we found a cool family that seems interested.

We had a great lunch that the sisters prepared for us.

There was a branch activity where we ate/cooked a lot of Pap and Meat, listened to music, and talked. It was a lot of fun and many of our inactive recent converts and members came, which was amazing! Check out the videos in the link.

We cleaned out the baptismal font (JoJo) Saturday night and flooded the yard.

2/9 people that promised to walk with us to church actually kept their promise. No complaints though, because it's better than 0.

We had Onalethata's (niece of our recent convert from last month, Lucia) baptism, which was amazing, and the program went very smoothly.

Some very drunk father offered Havea and I a glass of Jack Daniels in the middle of our lesson with him and his sober family. It was very funny.

We played a bunch of minute-to-win-it games for P-Day, which were a lot of fun. We also had an amazing meal as usual from our beloved senior couples!

Spiritual Thought:

I believe I shared this invitation some months back, but I honestly can't remember, and I think this talk is so amazing. I invite all of you to LISTEN to “Safety for the Soul” by Jeffrey R. Holland. Each time I listen to this talk, I find new insights and feel the Spirit confirm the truth of his words.

Conclusion:

You're all amazing, thank you for your emails and messages. I love you, and God loves you too. Have a killer week…

Week #91 "And Even I, Myself, Have Laboured With Mine Own Hands That I Might Serve You..." Mosiah 2:14

photos and videos:  https://photos.app.goo.gl/ 7pfMaK2E4tXivPWY7 Welcome back to another email, hopefully there are some interesting parts this week! Tuesday: We began the day with weekly planning as we do every Tuesday, it's the worst part of the week. Afterwards we got lunch and hit the area. We had a lot of lessons today but the highlights were with Sticks and Kefilwe who we reviewed the baptismal interview with, they just need to get married. Then a yellow dot named Kago who I absolutely clapped with the Bible, with christlike love of course. Usually I try to avoid throwing bible verses back and forth since it typically leads to contention but every time he said something contrary to the true gospel of Jesus Christ I had to give him a few verses. Lastly, I'll highlight our lesson with Peaches, Habo, and Kealeboga who also always come to church. They're on date for baptism on the 22nd, they're a great family! Wednesday: Today was pretty mid, we met with a few recent ...

BOTSWANA NAMIBIA MISSION

Dear Christopher and Julie Miller, It brings us great joy to announce that Elder Miller is preparing to return home after completing an honorable mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Botswana Namibia Mission. During his time of service, Elder Miller has experienced remarkable spiritual growth. He has strengthened his relationship with Jesus Christ while sharing the restored gospel with countless individuals.

Tuesday: We had a handful of lessons today, as well as weekly planning, and then cleaning the stake center since they were hosting a conference of sorts there. The 2 highlights were the twins who came into the chapel and asked for a tour, and our lesson with Shado/ her family. While we cleaned the chapel 2 identical twin brothers walked in and asked for a tour so we obliged, and then connected them with the missionaries for their area.  Our lesson with Shado was about temples and it was great, we even put 2 of her daughters on date which was amazing. Wednesday: We did our grocery shopping today and Elder Gibb decided he only wanted to eat hotdogs for the week. So I didn't have to buy any meat because he said I can have what's already in the freezer from last week. We had a great lesson with Sticks, Kefilwe, and Rasta. We taught them the W.O.W and law of chastity and they were really receptive. We...
