This day was a bit of a dud. But ended off pretty well. So all day we didn't have any appointments set up. So we first went around to potential investigators to see if they were around to teach or set another appointment. Got to each house and then... Nothing. Every single person we saw was not home. Until We finally found Mai Avante. Taught her a great lesson then continued on with the day. SO at this point, we had no one else to see. So went then went along and contacted houses.. Had some good conversations here and there but ultimately... nothing.
So we were walking down the street, and see this big fire in the field. And here's what happened.
Me: "Hey do you want to take a picture by that fire over there?
Elder Whittier: "Sure, why not. Do you want to?"
Me: "Only if there is a path"
Walked like 10 feet
Whittier: "Well, There's a path, let's go!"
So we go over to this fire. And then these twin boys come over and want to take a picture with us. So we do and start becoming friends with them. Then we tell them our purpose, and they invite us to come over to teach them some other time. It was pretty cool.
Then on the way back to our house. We take this "shortcut" Which leads to a boe hole. (a well) And we just start helping this guy fill his water and take it to his house. Then when we were going to leave, this guy on his own says, "Hey Take my number to teach me and invite me on church on Sunday, I'll be free."
It was pretty awesome! Even thought the whole day was a bit tiring. That last hour made it worth it.
Miracle Thursday
Thursday was truly a miracle. So today we were in Rujeko area. Which takes about 1 hour walk from the church. So we go there and try to find this kid who came to church about two weeks ago. Tinashe. Before then however, we walked around to people we had set appointments with, however all were fall throughs. So we are walking through the area, keeping in the back of our minds the street that we need to find. Then all of a sudden we look at where we are and it's that street! Miracle. So we find Tinashe's house and we ask for him. And right at that moment Tinashe just arrived at the house. And the look of his excitement on his face was priceless. He was so happy to see us missionaries. So we talk to the parents, introduce ourselves and set an appointment for us to come back.
Then we started walking to a RC's but on the way took a wrong street, and run into a potential investigator from like 3 months ago. He starts asking us questions about the Restoration that we taught all that time ago and asks us to come by the house another day. Then just 10 steps further on the street a guy calls us over and tells us to take down his details because he wants to be taught. Awesome. Then we are walking on another street. Back on track to the Recent Convert and I see these house and tell Elder Whittier, I've always had a feeling to contact these houses but never have. Then right after I said that things lady comes out onto the street, tells us that she wants to be taught. We asked here where she lives and she pointed to the house I just was talking about! It was truly a miracle! haha
That whole day was amazing and found so many new investigators that day. I love all the opportunities that Heavenly Father has given us.
Service Saturday
Saturday We were able to help with Mormon Helping Hands at an orphanage. It was awesome. Just helped out on yard work. But Bro. Vanerai and us four missionaries jobs were to till all of the field. And wow was that a lot of work. Got 3 nasty blisters on my hand from it. But it was pretty great experience. So now know how to till a field with a hoe!
Well this was quite an eventful week! I hope everyone elses week's are just as eventful!! I love you all Until Next Time!
Love,
