Molo unjani - "hello how are you"

What's up!! I hope yall's week has been good. Mine has been really good. The weeks have been going fast though. I don't have too much time so I am just going to share two stories with yall. "The dinner appointments" and "An answer to a prayer"

The dinner appointments 

We got fed three times in ONE DAY. It was not good. The first one was after some service we did. We painted insides a members home. But she fed us a huge plate of beans and meat. It was very filling, but wait, we had Mama Oliphant next. She fed us an even bigger plate of rice, potatoes,  and carrots. Actually quite nice it was just a lot. Then we had the next one. More rice and chicken... I was so full I was going throw up. I tried to finish the plate but I couldn't I felt so bad but I couldn't. My stomach hurt so bad for the rest of the night.  The gist of the story I weighed myself before the day and after the day was over and I weighed 2 more pounds. It took me like 2 days to burn that off.

An answer to a prayer 

So one of the days I think Tuesday.. we got a referral. He wouldn't answer his phone so we went to the address listed and found that he didn't live there anymore. But it was his grandmas place, so we asked her where we could find him and she told us that he lives with his mom now. We went to the address that she gave us and found a mother excited to meet us. We were kind of confused but went into her home and started talking with her. We found out that she had been praying the night before for some sort of sign to help her son. That's why we were there. We were the answer to her prayer. I can testify that the Lord's timing is all that matters. There is no way either of us can take credit for that contact. For that answer to that mother prayer. This is the one and only true gospel on the earth.

My invitation this week, read this talk! Consider where the Book of Mormon is in your life. Is it something you study daily? What would your life be like without it. 

I promise you... haha I'm going to make you read the talk to figure out the promises he gives us as we read the Book of Mormon. Happy reading!
