This week has been crazy short. It felt like just yesterday I was writing last week's email. 

This week has been good. We stayed really busy with lesson and contacts. It's so funny driving down the streets and having people yell out "mlungu mlungu" meaning White guy! White guy! Not a lot if any white people enter the townships soo.🤣 it was pretty darn funny the first time it happened.

Mama Oliphant fed us this week and dang.. her serving portions are on the very large side. It was really but just a lot of food. I definitely wasn't hungry after that dinner appointment 🤣 She also brought us some muffins at church was was an amazing snack after my fast. 😉

Sunday was amazing, it was fast and testimony meeting and the testimony that were shared really touched me. I couldn't understand most of what was being said because they switched between English and zzzzzz but I could feel the Holy Ghost testify to me what they were saying was true. 

Our new mission president came in this week! President and Sister Stringham. The mission will miss President and Sister Van Reenen. I appreciate everything they have done for this mission. I can tell that everything they have done is out of love for us and to continue his work. To gather Israel. Although one cool fact is that they live in the mission. So we will most likely see them again!

We have also escaped load shedding the last two days. The power went out while we were out and came back on shortly after we got home. Although last night the power went out🤣

Sorry it kind of in chunks and doesn't flow very well. But the week has been really good. Hope everyone has had an amazing week. 

I like to leave with an invitation in most the things I do, soooo. If you made it this far.

 Will you read one chapter in the Book of Mormon this week?

Yes??-

Awesome, knew you would choose the right one. I promise you as you read you will feel of the joy our Heavenly Father has for you. Highlight actions items. Highlight the promised blessing that are yours if you follow through with your end of the promise. If you don't find any find another chapter. 🤣 They are everywhere.

No??- 

That's OK, how about this instead. 😄Share with someone this week a way that you have felt your Heavenly Father's love for you. Bearing you testimony is one of the most powerful teachers. 

Share your love.

Love you all,

Elder Lawrence
