3 more Baptisms set

This week we had some great experiences. We have this one family, the Kgetsi family, that is really progressing nicely. We went to teach them this week, and the father (or Rra, as they are called here) had his cousin over. We taught him about the restoration and the Book of Mormon, and it was a neat experience because Debakaone and Leano (the Rra and Mma) were telling his cousin that he really needs to listen to our message, read the Book of Mormon, and then pray to know if it is true! It was great to see them bear their testimonies about the Book of Mormon. It was just a neat experience to see them teaching others what we had taught them! The other really neat experience happened yesterday. We went and taught this man, Mogogi and his fiance. When we sat down and started he had lots of questions about prophets, Joseph Smith, and the Book of Mormon, he was very skeptical. He wasn't buying it, and just figured we were false prophets. But once we starting teaching and testifying, the Spirit really resolved all of his concerns. It was amazing, we really didn't do anything, the Spirit really worked through us to resolve all of his concerns, and he felt it so strong. When we were finished he said he was definitely going to read the Book of Mormon, and asked when we were coming back before we even got around to setting up another appointment. It was probably the best lesson I have been yet. And I decided that was because he asked questions, which invited the Spirit, and the Spirit was able to teach him and resolve all of his concerns. It was wonderful. I wish you all could have been there. This week we also commited three people to baptism, and we are hoping to commit three more this coming week! The work is progressing so well. I am just so lucky I called to this mission where the people are so ready for the message we have. My companion and I express our thanks to our Father in Heaven for sending us to this mission daily. We really are so fortunate, and it really is the best mission in the world!
