Always Smile

This week we had four investigators get baptized! One family. The Pelaelo family. Consisting of a mom with her two children. The father passed away three years ago. They were all very excited to be baptized, but they were so afraid of the water, especially because it was cold. The little girl, Kwangu, she is ten, and she cried coming out of the water. But afterwards, she was all smiles. And the mma was very scared as well. She felt the water, and did not want to go in, but she did, and afterwards , she was also all smiles. Africans are afraid of water. Especially this family. But they did it, and we were very happy for them! And they were happy to each other. And I am positive their father/husband was also very happy for them. And he wlll be even happier when they can go to the temple and be sealed together. They will be an eternal family soon! It was a great feeling watching them be baptized. Very great. The other investigator of our being baptized was Kaizer Moatshe. Kaizer, all on his own decided this year, 2010, he was going to change his life. He quit smoking and drinking in January, and then in June he met the missionaries. Coincidence? I think not. So, he was baptized on Sunday as well! It was also very great! He was so happy. He has made so many changes in his life. And more are yet to come. He is a great man, and will be a good priesthood holder. It was a great day yesterday. I was little disappointed at church because our investigators that we were hoping would make it, didn’t. We still had seven investigators show up! Which is great, but so many others that did not make it . I was a little discouraged during gospel principles, but then once we got the Pelaelo’s and Kaizer ready for their baptism all was well. I was so happy! It was a great day, and hopefully the others will show up next week! They better! They just don’t realize what we are offering them! But one day, they will, and they will wish that they had listened to us earlier. So, the work is going well. We are working hard, and striving to bring as many souls unto Christ as we can. My only complaint, is that it is stinking HOT here! So hot! My legs were dripping sweat as we were teaching a lesson yesterday! Eish, summer in Botswana is here, and it is no joke! But don’t worry, I put on my SPF 100 sunscreen every day J haha. Seriously though, I do. Alright thanks for reading. Have a good week. Remember to always smile.
