A baptism and a cyclone in ONE WEEK!

Hello my people who I LOVE SO MUCH! How are you? I am missing you guys. Life is good here doing the Lord's work. Zimbabwe is good, too. It will never be home, but it is home for now, and I am glad. 

Read the sign on the vending machine and then this will make more sense.

1 Corinthians 3:16-17

16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

Last week Zone conference with Elder Palmer

This week I got to go on exchanges with the STL again in Enterprise! Her name is Sister Jeppson, and she is one of the sweetest human beings you could meet! At the beginning of the day, we set goals on what we both wanted to work on as missionaries. Mine was to teach by the spirit, and hers was to use the Book of Mormon in every lesson. I loved setting those daily goals and being able to see myself accomplishing them. I love Enterprise, I pray I serve there someday! When I pictured Zimbabwe, that is what I pictured. 

There is a cyclone in Mozambique and so Zimbabwe is feeling the repercussions of it. No worries, though! I am safe :) BUT It hasn't stopped raining since Friday here. I love it, though! considering how hot it has been these past couple of weeks, I was so grateful for the cooler weather. It reminded me of home! Oh how I miss the cool Idaho weather! 

Milda was baptized yesterday, and I am so happy for her. I think I told her story a while back, but Milda just approached us missionaries and wanted to learn more about our church. Now I have seen her go to church every Sunday, attend Institute, read her Book of Mormon, and now get baptized. At the baptism she came up to give me a hug, and with tears in her eyes told me how much the gospel has changed her life now and forever.

That is what makes this worth it... the long days, the tears, the sweat, the homesickness... and really, this isn't about me. It is about the people of Zimbabwe, and for my Savior Jesus Christ. I love this gospel, and it will change my life forever to share it with the people of Zimbabwe.

I love you all so much!
