Well its been a great week. Things are definitely looking up in PE! We found a lot of new people which was really needed because there was NO one! So we focused on referrals and we got seven! That's pretty good here! So we have had some awesome first lessons. We have also been teaching the Sanadyo Family. They are recent converts and there doing great. We taught a lot about the priesthood. We committed Brother Sanadyo to pass the sacrament. He was so nervous but understood the importance of magnifying his calling and exercising the priesthood. It was a really cool experience to see him pass the sacrament on Sunday. He did awesome. T hose are some of the best moments in missionary work!
We also went to Knysna for a partial Zone meeting. George elders met us there and it was a great meeting. We have really been focusing on obedience and how we all need to be obedient. I really don't get how its so hard I mean, yeah I'm not perfect but there are reasons were obedient and its not because we don't want to get caught it should be out of love. A love for God and the Savior. Again I'm really not perfect or anything close to it, but that is what has helped me to be better. Within the next 2 months we will have over 40 new missionaries and they will pretty much follow what ever we do (except I won't be here) but the training has helped every one step it up. Going to Knysna was a blast its about a 3.5 hour drive and George is 4.5 hours. We are going to their District meetings and having exchanges down there this week.
This week we also had a cool service project. We planted three good size gardens at an orphanage that will help them become more self reliant. It was fun and the whole PE ward was in on it. We also committed a girl named Lithi to baptism. So now we have one person haha. But its all good. We will find more and help them progress.
We are all getting excited for the next Zone conference, Elder Carl B. Cook will be coming so it should be good. Our stake is also getting a new stake president and maybe some boundary changes so every one is speculating about that. We live in a flat behind some awesome members named the Fourie family. They fed us yesterday and it was really good. Sister Fouries' cake is awesome it was granadilla cake! I will miss all the fruits and vegetables here. Anyways I'm doing great and loving it here in PE. Elder Cowey is fetchin awesome and were having a blast and working hard. I hope every one is doing well. OH, I have been bad at birthdays_ so Happy Birthday to, Marianne, Janet, Mer, and next week Lydia and Jen! I hope I didn't forget anyone. I love you all, have a good week.
Love,
Colton
