Faith of Children

This week went by REALLY SLOW, I haven't had a week go by slow in a long time! But this one just seemed to crawl! I suppose it was because I was so excited for Sunday. We had two investigators get baptized! A wonderful mother and daughter, Lesego and Deliwe Mfazi! They are a beautiful family, the other daughter was also supposed to get baptized, but she broke her leg and will have to wait til October. But Deliwe is 8 years old and amazing. She was the one pushing her mom and sisters along. If it were up to her she would have been baptized a week after we taught her. This young lady really is amazing, and one of God's elect of that I am certain! Her spirit is so strong. She amazes me every time I talk to her. We gave her the Book of Mormon stories to read, and she finished it in two weeks. And now teaches us the lessons when we go to visit and teach. She really reminds me of how it true it is when Alma says in Alma 32:23, that sometimes little children have words given unto them that counfound the wise and the learned. Deliwe is a living testament to that. Every one who meets her sees the same thing. The ward mission leader conducting the baptism, was astounded by her spirit and testimony, just as I am. She is great, and I was so happy for her. She may only be eight, but she KNOWS these things are true, her testimony is solid. Little children are great like that, it is true when they say we should become as little children. They have such strong faith. Her mom is great too, there family is just great, and I was so happy for them and the decision they made to enter the gate that will lead them back to their Father in Heaven. I look forward to seeing what young Deliwe will accomplish in the future. The work is progressing here in Botswana nicely, and each day I am reminded of how little I am. I really am nothing, but I am glad the Lord is willing to use me in His work. I heard BYU BEAT OKLAHOMA!!!! WHAT?? Great, and as amazing and wonderful I am sure that would have been to watch and witness that, I KNOW watching and witnessing those two wonderful sisters get baptized and accept Christ in their lives was so much better and sweeter! As much as I would have loved to watch that football game, there is honestly nowhere else I would rather be right now at this time than here in Botswana serving my brothers and sisters and teaching them eternal truths, that will really bring them everlasting happiness and peace. Just thought I would share that with all of you. But Go Cougs! It will be a GREAT year! One last thing. It is getting SO HOT here. And everytime I say that, my companion and whoever we are talking to just laugh and say, just wait! I am not sure I can handle it getting much hotter than it is now. Eish, Africa is hot my friends, very hot! But don't worry I put on LOTS of sunscreen everyday, and so far I haven't really gotten burnt too bad, so my goal is still being achieved ;) Well, love you all and miss you all!
