Tuesday:


Not much went on today, we had a lot of errands to run plus, weekly planning. We drove around dropping stuff off to our zone and the office and taught a few good lessons. We tried some authentic vegetarian Indian food place and it slapped IJOHH!


Wednesday:


Our first lesson was on the military base with our guy Bobonong, he was a soldier and fell into/ recovered from a coma. He's very receptive and says he'll come to church on Sunday! 


We had a lot of other amazing lessons with our friends such as Chaka, Eric, Remo/ Monewa, and some others. Today was a good day.


Thursday:


We joined the Mochudi elders and sisters as well as the Smiths and Kaspers at the vacant Mochudi flat. The previous elders left it a mess so we spent from 9:00-2:00 deep cleaning the whole thing. Elder Wutkee and I split Mochudi's area for the day and did an exchange.


The highlights were that I got to see Rainforce and Pauline. They're almost done with their house which means they'll go to Zimbabwe soon and get married, which means they can get baptized soon! We also got to see a really cool less active member on our way home.


Friday:


Sister Walker and the Smiths joined us for our district council first thing in the morning, it was a pretty good district council. I got to give a training on working with members, Wutkee and I have seen a lot of success through this so it was perfect.


We had a few decent lessons but the best was with Chaka as usual. He redlined his audi and showed us his huge subs in the trunk before the lesson which was a bonus


We ended the night by cooking chapati and stew with the sisters for a member. It was sooooo good, now we have all of Relief Society asking us to come cook for them


Saturday:


We found some inactive members and taught them, met a really cool FB referral, and met with some of our progressing friends.


The highlight was when the Smiths came to teach the Mbwandos (less active family) with us. We had an amazing lesson about turning our homes into a holy place since they don't have the means to make the very long commute to church with their young family.


Sunday:


We got 6 friends to church today which was amazing, and 4 of them were potential melchizedek priesthood holders. They were all participating in class and one of them came to us and said he's ready for baptism so we set a date with him. It was an amazing church service!


Our last lesson of the night was with a single mother, her twin sister, and the mothers kid (members). We cooked with them and shared a spiritual thought. I can definitely say my favorite part about being a missionary is being with members. I learn so much from them and feel my testimony grow immensely when I’m around them.


Monday:


We did a game drive with both Gabs zones as well as the Walkers. We saw a lot of really cool animals (I'll upload vids). 


We also got Thai food with the Smiths and Kaspers (seniors), they told us so many funny stories about their Iives and how they met each other. I also love spending time with the senior couples. 


We came home and watched an amazing devotional on “The Living Christ” by the Smiths. 


Conclusion:


It was a really good week, we hit our goals again and had a lot of fun while doing it. Transfers are this week so it'll be exciting to see what happens! Until next week

Rainforce and Pauline. I love them so much. They are working so hard toward baptism.

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...
