Muli Bwanji! Sawubona! Muri Sei! Dumela! Hoe Gaan Dit! Did I get them all? We greet people in a lot of different ways.
Riding bikes, like I said, is fun and all, but I'm getting sick of the whole "Flat tires everyday" thing. Whenever we are far from home, and I mean FAR, my companions tire goes flat and we have to walk like 2 hours to get home. It's pretty fun, but that's because it hasn't been super late in the dangerous hours.
Our baptism didn't go through this week. There are some complications that came up with her past church, so hopefully we can work with her so she can get through it. It is really sad for us to see because she has had so many witnesses of the truth, but if she really wants to know, she won't fight it. Just gotta have faith. Nelly, the girl, didn't come to church last week because she needed to tell the members/ pastor/ friends from her old congregation that she was going to be joining another church. She belongs to the CRC which is a HUGE happy- clappy chursh in Bloemfontein, and you can probably guess what happened. They tried convincing her to stay. WE met with her on Tuesday to talk with her and bore our testimonies, but she isn't so sure anymore, even though she has already had many witnesses. It kinda seems like she is fighting against it which is a shame. She said she was going to pray about it fervently and see us at church, but she didn't show yesterday and I just have this really bad feeling. I have had the feeling all week.
We had an AMAZING lesson with a guy named Pappi. We were invited to brother Spencer's home, from Zimbabwe, to teach a 12 apostolic guy who is currently studying at CUT right now. We taught him the Restoration and it was SO cool to see how much he understood. He perfectly understood the priesthood, and I felt the spirit so strong in that lesson. The only complication will be his commitment he has to his current Apostle, as he was explaining to us. But we are excited to meet with him again this week. What was really cool was how the member reacted as we were leaving. He was super happy and impressed. It is so important to earn the trust of the members so they will be more willing to help. And side note, I absolutely love People from Zimbabwe.
We have been making American food! We made funnel cakes this past Monday, which was cool. While eating them we played a Brazilian game called Truco. I lost the game to some dumb odds and so I did a funny scream and now my vocal chords are a bit torn. I can't sing anymore, so hopefully it isn't a permanent thing, or I won't be able to get the band together in the future.
Love you all! Have joy this week!:)
