Week #65 Cleaning. Comp-switch. Chicken Coop. Cologne. Chapati. Chaka.

Dumelang.

Hopefully this email will be marginally better than last week's…

Our week started out with a service opportunity in our district, we got to go to Sister Vistas's primary school and help with her graduation ceremony. We sang “Families Can Be Together Forever” with her, it was fun. The kids were super cute and they had a lot of funny performances. They also had some crazy Australian phys-ed dude come up to close the graduation, he said some pretty wild things that their kids should do… such as running around naked in mud puddles.

On Wednesday night, Machisu and I slept over at Wutkee, Lejaha, Karp, and Bylund's flat. We watched the transfer calls and clapped an absurd amount of chapati, I think we've nearly perfected the craft at this point. Wutkee is my new companion, he'll be coming to be a ZL with me and we'll be merging the two areas!

Other activities include, DEEP cleaning our whole flat, it's probably been many transfers since missionaries did that. Cleaning out sister Chedza's chicken coop, fixing broken laptops, transfers, etc. We also had some of our members joining lessons say some wild stuff, luckily our friends weren't phased. As well as some of our progressing friends some wild wild things that I don't think I can include here (message me if you want to know), Africa is much different to say the least.

On the teaching side of things, we had many great lessons this week! We have a couple people on date and we're planning to put a few more on date this next week. There's one very spiritual mature brother, Chaka, in his mid-20's that I'm impressed with. He comes to church every week, and even bore his testimony on fast Sunday. He may or may not also be the one saying some out of pocket stuff. 

We're also teaching 6 potential Melchizedek Priesthood holders that we had a good lesson with, even when we left they stayed in a circle and kept reading. The only downside is Wutkee and I visited them near the end of the week and they were all extremely drunk, I guess we'll see how committed they are

Lastly, our P-Day primarily consisted of fragrance shopping with Wutkee, Law, and myself. This is one thing that Wutkee and I largely share in common, fragrance fiends you could say. All 3 of us made some good purchases to say the least.

Things are going smoothly here in Broadhurst, I'm excited to work hard this transfer with Elder Wutkee!

Much love. 

Elder Miller

PS. Please pray for our mission, we need permits and waivers to stay in the country/ bring missionaries back <3

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.

Photos and Videos from the week: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ aERwkQhvsQjmf7yj6 Yo. 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...
