I'm Walking in Sunshine. Wooooah

8/7/2017

Hello family and friends,

Just a few sweet highlights from my week:
-I always just love testimony meetings here because the people are so genuine but simple as they bear their testimonies. Its like on Sunday's when those eight year old kids get up and share their heartfelt testimony with big smiles on their faces. 
-The Mpisa's live in a tiny brick home with a tiny little window letting in only small light although it seems to be as bright as the noonday sun when I walk in there because they are truly embracing this gospel with all their hearts.
-Violet was sick on Saturday night. She could not move her hand. We called over the elders to come and bless her, she was so thankful. I told her she did not have to come to church the next day if she was not feeling well enough yet. Violet said, "I will come no matter what."
-We were teaching those SDA worshippers who only believe in their church because they worship on Saturday's and yeah you can sit there and Bible bash but there is no use in that because no one can feel the spirit. So, we shared a scripture in Jacob 4 about looking beyond the mark and forgetting the big picture and asked them to read The Book of Mormon and pray about it.

Just Zimbabwean things:
-Kombis (public transportation) are very hard to find on Sunday's because everyone is attending church. 
-At home you may call being fashionably late, "Mormon Standard Time." Here we call it, "Black Man's Time."
-During church you can always hear other churches rocking out with their praise music.
-Everything is bho zvekuti
-I have enjoyed the slow pace of things except at the grocery store. And everything but missionary work is slow paced! 
-You can't whisper is Ndebele because you can't whisper a click hahaha
