Never email in gabs, Lucky 7's, THERE IS FROST ON THE WINDOW!!!, "you missed the boat"
So if you ever happen to be in Gaborone, make sure you don't need to
email something. It's so slow here man and so apologies in advance for
how short this is, but I only have about 6 minutes remaining.
But in terms of the work, dijo di monate rra. the work is nice. We are
working for baptisms Sunday of Brother and Sister Benjamin, Matusi,
Mosha, and Shadow, but surprise! Morray who we thought had gone off
the deep end drinking actually just got his phone stolen, and went to
the home village for a wedding and funeral. So boom getting baptized!
And if that is not all, Rapelang made a total 360 and also is
committed to Sunday. So Sunday we're having 7 count em' 7 converts
baptized.
President Nyoni is so pumped because they are all priesthood holders
except sister Lesedi but she's like future Relief Society/ Young
Women's Pres, so its like we're bringing home the Superbowl. So as I
said, I'm going out in a blaze of glory and the last baptism will be
on july 8th. But for now, we're just hitting the streets and tracting
up a storm. We're trying to get 40 people on date for baptism by the
end of the week. but we're finding incredible people, the Lord guides
us house to house, and step by step. Kanye is a happening place.
Many stories to tell of this week, they are to be had in my journal,
so I'll close with one because of time.
Sister Virginia was baptized about a month before I came to Kanye, and
has since returned to the 7th day Adventist church. So we went on a
mercy mission to invite her to come back. Tuesday Elder Kuseni invited
her to pray about the churches and set the appointment. So Friday
afternoon with Elder and Sister Moss, we arrived. She told us she
prayed about 7th day, and just wants to go there, but didn't pray
about the church. So we had a lengthy discussion about the restoration
and bore testimony. We invited her to pray again and then she just got
offended "I've already prayed! I won't ask God again." So Sister
Virginia why did you get baptized? I knew the Book of Mormon was true,
God answered me..... ok, so what's the problem then? Well I just feel
I need to go back... where does that feeling come from, how does it
feel, did you ask God? I KNOW HIS VOICE THIS IS MY CHURCH!!!! She
proceeded to try to defend it, but she refused to pray, read, or come
back. To which Elder Moss the legend that he is responded "Sister
Virgina, you know nothing about the church, the temple, the
restoration, the living prophet, callings, the members, you missed the
boat sister Virginia... just pray" Yo she kicked us out so fast...
But, defending the faith lessons you just feel this fire inside like
you wanna shout from the housetops.
It was sad, but following we continued right on teaching, and met a
powerful group of teachers who live together who are "Hunting for His
church" We roll on.
Man Kanye is cold man we've hit -3 which is like 27 for you cats who
use Fahrenheit. there is even frost on the windows at night... good
thing I've got a snuggie!
Have a good week everyone
Elder Robinson
