It’s totally fine that your emails are short...I understand. This week was pretty good though. The two people who were baptized got confirmed the other day. It’s always kind of a relief when they get confirmed because there baptism is not complete unless they get confirmed a member. I’ve heard of some people never coming back after they get baptized, luckily that has not really happened to me yet. I have been blessed a lot to be sent here. The lord blesses us a lot with finding people the people are truly prepared in Africa. We are having another baptism this Sunday of a lady named Blessing from Zim, we have been teaching her for a while but did not think she would be ready to be baptized in August. We went there last week and she told us she is ready, so we had the interview and she passed! That was pretty sweet.
We had transfers this week and neither I, nor my companion are getting transferred. Elder Muchuno is the only one getting transferred in are district and is going back to SA.We pulled a pretty funny prank on are greeny Elder Rose. The night before everyone finds out what is happening is the night that the pres calls everyone if they are getting any leadership positions. So I decided to take their phone and switch my name and the presidents name under his contacts (so when we called it looked like pres was calling). So we were all just chilling in the living room and I went in the back room and made the call and asked for Elder Rose and I began telling him how great a missionary he has been and was just asking him how his studies were going, then I told him that I was praying a lot and decided to make him a trainer! Ha-ha he actually thought it was the Pres calling him and he accepted his special assignment. After I was done I went in the other room and he looked pretty excited and told me that the Pres wanted him to be a trainer. So then I took out are phone and acted like we had a missed a call but instead I called there number and when he picked up I just said, “How are you elder rose?” Ha-ha… he died! It was pretty funny, but kind of sad. Anyway we all got a pretty big kick out of that, training at 6 weeks old!?! We also got to go to a diamond mine last Friday. It was pretty cool, we got to see how they make diamonds and everything. All the people there were super serious like we were not allowed to look at the ground just in case we saw something like a diamond or anything. And if we dropped anything on the ground we had to be “escorted" off the property, it was pretty sweet.
Sounds like you guys are pretty busy, I hope you have a good time at girl’s camp mom, those girls probably have a good reason for doing what they do to you. It sounds like you get them just as good as they get you.... and I will keep you in my prayers dad :) I always do. Love you both have a safe drive to the camp and take care.
Love, Elder Justin Brey
