Called to Serve: Prayers are being answered

Last Monday we got the opportunity to go on a mini exchange with the Zengeza sisters. It was so fun, because I got to see my recent converts, Milda, Chipo, Lanna, and Leona! We all just hugged and were so happy to see each other. It was the best! They are all still coming to church and told me how blessed they are in the gospel. Their testimonies are being strengthened and that is the best news that anyone could hear! I love them so much.

This week I went on exchanges with a sister from Kenya named Sister Lalampaa and she is so sweet! We had such a great day together and I learned a lot from her. In our area right now, we are struggling to find new people to teach. She gave me the suggestion to look in PMG at a chapter that talks about how the Book of Mormon answers questions of the soul. Her companion and her use them, and find them really helpful in their finding. So, I am now using that idea, for sure! She wants to come to BYU Idaho after her mission, and it would be AWESOME! she told me at the end of the exchange," Sister Kershaw, I think we will be friends even after mission." I think so, too.

Owen is doing amazing! He came to church, and at church he told us that he felt so welcomed and felt at home. When we bring members to lessons with us, he tells them about his baptism and how excited he is for it. It's the cutest!

Last Sunday we had this mama just show up to church, and she told us she wants to be baptized! She was taught by missionaries before, but never was baptized. She told us that she has a testimony of the gospel, and knows that it is true. She is from South Africa, and wants to move back by July... So my companion and I are so busy teaching her and preparing her for baptism. Her niece is also taking the lessons from us, as well! The Lord is answering our prayers to find the elect here in Enterprise. Great things are happening! The mama is named Susan, and her niece is name Nelisha.

Our distribution center just got copies of the Saints and I am currently reading it. I can't put it down some days! I love reading about the history of the church. If you haven't read the Saints, I highly recommend it. It is fun too, because in companion study, Sister Jabanga and I are reading from the Doctrine and Covenants. Reading both together helps you understand everything better. I love it!
