this week was super nice! Suuuuper hot. and we got some big news!

the zone here is going to split in swaziland!! so now we are going to have 2 zones! 

so this week we have been working a lot with some less active members that i didn't even know existed! i've never seen them at church or anything. but we found them in our area book that was an absolute mess!! and we were able to visit a few of them!

one came back to church this week! his name is Africa and his wife is Cindy. they were baptized about a year and a half ago, and shortly after being baptized they stopped going to church.. but hey, he came, so thats progress!

other than that our other investigators didnt come to church:) so thats just great! hahaha 

everything is going by pretty smooth here, we are doing our best, trying to find those people that are ready and willing! they are a lot harder to find than i thought!!  it makes me think if im doing something wrong, or if i could be doing something better:)

Next week is transfers! I think i am going to mozambique because the office elders called me and told me to try and not take out any of my money because it cant be changed! so... that was a big hint... hahah 

but im happy the lord has allowed me to be able to serve him for the time that he has. 

i know this work i am doing is much greater than i am.

i know that no matter what happens. if we do what we are supposed to. even if we havent always done the best things in our life. we can and will be happy.

i cant remember who, but someone important once said something like this " it doesnt matter where you've been or what you've done. all that matters is that you are trying to be better than you were before, trusting in the lord, and taking a step in the right direction. even when you can't see what lies ahead. "

being on a mission has been an amazing thing for my life, and i wouldnt trade it for any of the soccer trophies or teams or anything i could be doing with my life.

i know this is where God needs me and has asked me to be. :) and im also so grateful for my many friends who are such great examples to me. 

Have a Great week:)!
