A little bit of my MASSIVE area
A fellow American(pit bull) in a far away land, for some reason this dog loved me!!
A Mamelodi sunset
Hello Everyone!
This week was AWESOME! We got 9 new investigators, all of which are solid and have follow-up appointments! We should have about 13 on date by weeks end. Mamelodi is turning into the promised land of the mission! We also had stake conference this Sunday! It was about 40 min away from our chapel and most people don't have cars but we still had 2 less actives at church! We meet two guys from Zimbabwe, they are students there, and they have a lot of questions! All of which we were able to answer by the whisperings of the spirit. They were satisfied and super eager to meet again! We did have one guy confront us at this squatter camp, he wasn't letting us talk and being kind of rude. I got dishearten/frustrated but we went back a few days later for a lesson with someone and people were asking us who we were and apologizing for the incident. It actually worked to our advantage because it sparked people’s curiosity about us. So, lesson learned. Sometimes we are made to suffer to bring about greater good. All we can do is not complain and look inward, but keep an eternal perspective and press forward with a steadfastness in Christ. Nothing else to report really, I hope everyone is well!

So, I just finished
training this week and tomorrow I am going to get a greenie to train... I am
super excited and look forward to meeting him. The weather is going to get hot
here pretty soon so it will be interesting to see how hot. And a lot of the
people we teach are younger! It is super fun because you can see them progress
so much faster than others! I love the area and everyone in it! We will be
having a car this transfer, I got to drive for the first time since the
beginning today and it seemed pretty normal. All is well on this side of the
globe. I am still looking for shoes because my size doesn't exist over here so
wish me luck.
Love,
Elder Voyles
