It's a nice walk!

Eish, you know. Great things happen every week, every day. I know they do, but then I come to sit down and write an entry for the blog, and my mind goes blank, and I can't seem to remember what happened during the week that I could report on. Ha. I must be getting old or something. This week was great! Can't complain. Sister ChirChir and I had the opportunity to walk from the church to our area. Alot of people are complaining that they don't have transport to get to church, so we encourage them to make the sacrifice and walk. We thought it would be a good idea to experience that for ourselves, and we got the opportunity on Saturday to walk home with a few of the investigators children after their primary activity. And come to find out. It really is not that far, and the walk is not hard. It was actually a lot of fun. So now, when people complain about no transport, we can tell them the walk is nice, and that we personally have done it ourselves. So, hopefully that will take care of some of the problems we have getting our investigators to church. It was nice to see what they experience. Sometimes I think it would be nice to be in a walking mission, but then I think how grateful I am for the car, and how much more missionary work we can do because we have a vehicle and can get between appointments much quicker. The great father-led family we are teaching that I am sure I have mentioned, Makesure and Balemogi, are doing so well. They all came to church yesterday, except Makesure never made it in because the youngest, the 4 year old daughter, Mpho, was refusing to go in, he didn't want to cause a scene, so he took her home instead of coming him. We told him later that night when we were teaching, not to let that happen again, that we would sit outside with her. But we were so proud of them for coming. Next time,they all will actually make it in the building! It was great. We got to church early, as usual, and we already had 2 investigators there, and a less active that we have been working with. Church was great yesterday. Fast Sundays are always great though. So, other than that, I can't think of much else to report on. Except I do have a few updates for JaLeen FARRELL, haha. The rest of you may not really care or know who these people are, I but know JaLeen will appreciate these updates. So, JaLeen, I did get your DearElder letter. Thanks, I appreciated that, and I thought this would be the best and quickest way to give you some updates. So here are a few, and maybe...just maybe, I will send a letter with more,but we will see about that one...you know me :) But here are some updates for you. Kgosi Mothei, the less active you worked with for a while, he is engaged to Maipelo. They will be getting married in January! They are doing so well. He is doing great, and changed completely. Also, Brother Tekane baptized Matla last month! And now he witnesses every baptism we have this side! He is doing great! Bro Sima is going to England on his mission, and Mosupi is going to New Zealand! They are very excited for that, and so are the rest of us, and Dorcas is expecting her mission call any time! So, there are a few updates I thought you would be interested in. Thanks for the letter. Enjoy home! I'll be joining you all too soon!
