Week #77 Solid Week!

I got a mission wide devotional any minute now so I'll make this a quick one. Here are a few highlights of the week!

I was with lemphane, replacing the vacant ZL position, until transfers (friday)

Drove to Lobatse, a nearby village, to drop some BOM's off to the other missionaries

Transfer news… I'll be staying with Nakale and Elder Asi will also join us. We'll also be merging his area with ours which should keep us busy.

Taught with a lot of recent converts that all stay together in the ZL area

I went teaching with Asi for a day while Nakale and Lemphane went together

I drove to Gabs with Lemphane to pick up Elder Kapinga and bring him to Kanye to be Elder Lemphane's companion

We went to a funeral for a 14 year old boy that Elder Asi was teaching. I think it was my first time at a funeral, at least that I can remember. They asked us to pray over the body so I volunteered Lemphane since he speaks setswana.

We race home every night on our bikes, and the hill up to the flat is huge

Saw two ladies my age peeing in the middle of the street on Sunday, on two separate occasions. A very peculiar experience…

Contacted a lot of members in the new area (Asi's area) so we can get to know them

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. Furthermore, he has witnessed the transformative impact the Doctrine of Christ has had on himself, as well as the friends he has taught.

Through fasting, prayer, and dedicated service, he has developed greater spiritual maturity and a deeper testimony of eternal truths. These experiences have shaped him into a dedicated disciple of Jesus Christ. We have come to love Elder Miller deeply. He has brought joy to everyone blessed to know him. Through his fait...

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...
