Finally - Some new posts(#2)

I have survived another transfer! I can't believe I have been out here for three transfers. I did not get transfered, but my trainer did! So, I have a new companion, Sister Nkohla, from Johannesburg South Africa (yes she is serving a mission in her home mission). But she is great. We work so well together. We will do lots of great work together. I am very excited for this new companionship. She is already a much harder worker than my trainer was! Which is very exciting for me. This week, a lot of amazing things happened. It was a great week. They formed a new ward in Botswana, a singles ward, so we cover two wards now, the family and the singles ward, so we get sacrament meeting twice on Sundays, but it is great. The new bishopric is amazing, and so excited about missionary work, so I am excited to see the singles ward grow, and it will also help to focus on families in the other ward, and also finding families to teach. Yesterday, Sister Nkohla and I got ditched for our last appointment, so we had a little over an hour to find something to do. We were going to check on our investigators who did not make it to church earlier in the day, but then we passed this worship service being held, and we decided to go and check it out. It was just out in this field, in a tent, and some pastor had apparently come from South Africa. It was so interesting to me. There were probably only 30 to 40 people there, but the pastor or "prophet" felt the need to use a microphone, and not only use it but yell into it! Everytime he would start a new thought he would yell, and both sister nkohla and I would jump a little. Not only was he yelling into the mic, but he also had an interpreter following him around, and also yelling into his mic in setswana (the language of botswana). And to add onto the noise, everytime the pastor starting rambling on about something that was supposedly "profound" this other guy would start playing music in the background. It was quite the sight to see. It was very interesting to witness this worship service after attending the service at the true Church of Christ. It was such a difference. This pastor was trying to do all he could to drive the Spirit of God away from his sermon, and he did a very good job, the spirit was no where near the tent! Also, during part of his rambling on about nothing that made any sense, a guy in the front row, starts "speaking in tongues" and raising and lowering his arms. It was so funny. Oh man, so many times I wanted to laugh, but actually most of the time, I just wanted to hand out pass along cards, and invite all of those innocent souls to come and see how the true church worships. They would definitely feel the difference. I was glad I got to experience that. It was a lot of fun to see how others worship, and it made me so grateful to be a member of the only true church on the earth. What a blessing it is not to be confused, and to know where to turn to for peace. I am so grateful for the restored gospel. And seeing these other people worship this way, only made me that much more grateful to be who I am, doing what I am, and I pray each and every person in that sermon will have the opportunity, in this life to experience the Spirit in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
