This week three sisters finished their mission, they only sent two to replace them, so the Johannesburg mission went from 8 sisters to six sisters this week. Nothing really changed for me though, I am in the same area with the same companion, Sister Odongo from Kenya. It was sad to see them leave, but the work continues. It is weird to think I am over halfway done with my mission.
Yesterday we had two baptisms. The first was for Katlego Makati. His aunt is the relief society president and his uncle is the young men's president. They brought him to church the beginning of this year, and he hasn't stopped coming since. He is working on his duty to God award, and he wants to serve a mission. He is a good kid. He is very active in the chruch. He has many friends, and is already doing missionary work. his best friend also wants to be baptized, but just has to wait for his mom to say he can start taking the lessons. The other baptisms was for an eleven year old girl, Valentine. She has been coming to church her whole life with her aunt and uncle who is the branch president of Lobatse, one of the branches in our stake. She told us one week that she was ready to be baptized, so we started teaching her, and she was baptized yesterday as well. She was cute, she did not want her picture to be taken at all. So we had to sneak one. But she was very happy to be baptized.
So, that is the good news of the week. I hope you all enjoy conference this weekend, I am sure it will be wonderful. I am excited to watch it, but the area presidency has decided the south east africa area will watch it april 24-25 when the dvds are made, so enjoy it live. Conference is always a wonderful thing. To hear from the prophet of God and His apostles. How cool is that? Have a great week.
