This week was a bit of a blur but here are some highlights… At the beginning of the week we taught a lot of lessons, especially with our progressing friends. We went to the Monarch elders flat to watch transfer calls. I'm leaving Gerald and going to Broadhurst (Gabs). I'll be with my former companion from Swak, Elder Machisu.

President and Sister Walker also came! We played some nice basketball ...

It was an amazing spirit lead lesson and we made a lot of progress towards getting them married Brother Mosweswe joined us for another lesson with our friend Phandipha. We had an amazing conversation about baptism and were able to set a baptismal date with him. Brother Mosweswe is a beast We found a cool family and taught them the Plan of Salvation. They loved it and want to learn more. Hopefully they can keep progressing General conference was fire even though I haven't gotten to listen to all the sessions yet.
