Finding the one

This week I have really been reflecting on the missionary work here in Mutare. I have come to realize that it is not like any of the other areas that I have been in at all. In my previous areas, I can honestly say it was easy to find people to teach, and they were so kind and welcoming even if they were not interested. Here, I feel like it is the opposite. We struggle finding people to teach, and we get chased out of yards because people think our church is of the devil. BUT I am so grateful for this difficult time. I am able to come closer to my Heavenly Father and Savior through fervent prayer. My prayers have become so much more meaningful this last week, and I am grateful. We are now searching for the one here in Mutare town, and I know that we will be led to them 

A week ago we contacted and taught a man named Godfrey. He is a soldier, by profession, and was just on the side of the road waiting for a friend to bring him something. We taught him, but weren't sure if he was really serious about meeting with us. He accepted a return appointment and so we were planning to meet him. About 3 days later, he called us and said," Sisters! I have to get a Book of Mormon." The next lesson we taught him, he wanted to know more about apostasy and Joseph Smith. We asked him at the end, " What would happen if this really was the ONLY true church on the earth?" He said," Then I need to be apart of it." He came to church on Sunday even! We are so excited and hope he continues to progress towards baptism. He was our miracle of the week. 

We did a lot of service this week! We helped plant maize for a member, and we helped clean Sovereign's kitchen. She moved into a new house this last week, and it was an absolute mess, so we helped her clean from the ceiling to the floor. 

Love you all so much!
