Week #95 Lighting Up My Last Transfer Like The 4th Of July

Hey y'all I'm tired and need extra rest this week so this email will be more of a highlight reel. Hopefully some crazy photos and videos on the google photos will make up for it.

Tuesday:


  • Weekly planned

  • Had some great lessons with our progressing Friends!

  • Made a banger beef stew for dinner


Wednesday:


  • We taught our security guards. We also taught a huge family of 7 kids from 17yrs-23yrs. I may or may not have fallen asleep in that lesson

  • Also had a great lesson with Owen who invited his landlord and her daughter, Edith and Palesa, to join!

  • We had my last transfer news. Gibb is going to the office and I'll be staying and receiving a new greenie, Elder Searle, from Utah.


Thursday:


  • We met with Sticks and Kefilwe for the first time in forever since they were away apparently. It was nice and Gibb got to say goodbye to them. We also had a great lesson and a goodbye with Definite and Dorothy.

  • We also saw a very very very high dude doing some very questionable things to a support pillar at the mall when we went for lunch...


Friday:


  • My son arrived. We got lunch and some goat was harassing him the whole time. Then we went out and had some good lessons. 

  • The ZL's took us to a prayer service for the passing of Bishop Nyepi's nephew.

  • Michelle's guardians said she needs to be 18 to be baptized so we'll have to postpone which sucks!

  • We had like 12 elders over to our flat including the senior couple the Smiths!!! We made a giant cheeseburger “Neu-Burger” for the Neubergers and the 4th of July and hand dropped it to them. It was the size of a plate and delicious (pictures and videos included).

  • We made chapat-dogs (chapati covered hotdogs) pig in a blanket style. With Chilli and Sister Smith's apple pie. We had a great feast and many memories made, the Smiths are the coolest people ever

  • Happy 4th of july!!


Saturday:


  • Had a good DCM in the morning with scripture telestrations. We got a good lunch at romans with the Zl's after.

  • We had a great BOM lesson with Beatrice and Annika, 2 Zimbabwean ladies that we met with Masutha last week!

  • We had many other lessons and reminded a lot of people about church

  • The ZL’S did Peaches interview and I did one for them as well. 

  • We went with them to the EQP'S home to end the night and his TV was on and we were all incredibly distracted… mission does some crazy things to you.


Sunday:


  • We got 20 people to church and had the baptism of Peaches which was great!

  • Our recent convert, Champion Moyo, died in the morning so we went and had a prayer service after church and at 5:30.

  • In between that we had some lessons, a personal study and then we ended the night by going to the Rampes with the ZL's.

  • We had a great meal with them, played some games, a dance off, and of course shared a spiritual thought. They are the best!


Monday:


  • We played sports, got dinner, went to a crazy nice store (Fragrances Notwane), and played some pool.


Conclusion:


It was a fun week with a lot of crazy things going on but I'm excited for this transfer. Have a good week, love y'all.

I didn't have this photo last week so I wanted to include my goodbye to Sister Walker. She is wonderful.

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.

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...
