This week I finished reading a book called- "Our Search for Happiness" by M. Russell Ballard. I picked out one of my favorite quotes from the book. Elder Ballard was speaking about missionary work and it's importance to the members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day saints. The quote goes as follows- " Weaknesses become strengths, challenges become opportunities, trials become triumphs, and adversity becomes adventure in the service of the Lord." I loved this because it helps me to know that even when I go through these things God will help me turn them around because I'm serving him!
This week has been good but not much has happened. I had my first interview with my mission president and it was great! They brought us some food so that was a bonus because our flat was running low on that ahaha. Tender mercies are amazing right!?!?
I should have my first baptism this week so be on the lookout for that! Im so excited for Alex. He's a man we've been teaching for a while and he loves the gospel and is very excited to participate in bapstisms for the dead.( thats what helped him make the decision to be baptized). So next Sunday will be a great day!
Other than that I havent had any interesting food or anything this past week. Just Kotas like every other day so that is been great haha. Its been a regular week here in Etwatwa. Im getting better at soccer so that is a good thing. My companion is teaching me many tricks ahhah so when I come home imma be gooooood.
Also I want to invite everyone to pray more often! I've seen the power of prayer since ive been out here and it is magnificent. Just like we invite our interested people to pray always I invite every one of you to pray always and Heavenly Father will continure to bless your lives!!
Sorry no pics this week. But for sure there will be some next week!!
The church is true and I love you all,
Elder Mumford
