Gave blessing to guy with TB and he was cleared days later

So my week this week has been okay! Things are going well! It's just getting hot!
It was like 33 degrees one day!

My companion is actually from Utah, I forgot to mention that to you! He's from a place called Highland Utah, he's also only one transfer younger than me on his mission! But his grandmother is from England! 
His local congregation covers one street and all residents on the street are 100% active member of the church. So a big contrast!


He's a great guy, we can be awesome together! I really enjoy this companionship and it just seems to flow well!

Right now I'm not feeling so good because all I had for breakfast was a chocolate spread sandwich (those things save my life) Because I was up at like 7 and spent 4 hours giving our bikes a really good clean
And I was up last night ironing my companion's shirts for him (he was asleep and he doesn't know :P)

This week has been okay. My mood for the week I think depends a lot on the mood I'm in when I email

Did have a good wash! And washed all my clothes too! Talking about clothes I managed to get some of my trousers fixed, a member was nice enough to do it for me! And my tie, which I stuck in the washing machine!
But I ripped my old suit's trousers when I was getting on my bike yesterday! So embarrassing, but luckily I only had to get through one appointment before I managed to change at the flat (our appointments just worked out that way!) And no one noticed! So that was fun! First time I ever did that!

One of them actually, Onika, who is a member referral was quite interesting. We go to see her for an appointment (a little late) with the member who gave us the referral, Tshegofatso. They're both 17.
We go in for the lesson and the mother starts talking to the member in Spedi, and it appears that they are having an argument. Eventually they invite us in, we sit down and they start talking in English
Turns out the mother thought we were just there to share the word of God, and she doesn't want us to take away her daughter from her current church and "she is happy enough where she is"
So we talk to her for a little bit and amazingly I'm not frustrated (unlike the member who is close to tears) and we just explain simply to her what we are doing
Then the father walks in and sits down (who actually had been politely avoiding us) and is at first a No to us, but as we talk to him he softens, and eventually says to us: yeah it's okay you can teach her. And even agrees to sit down with us some day and listen to what we have to share (the mother is silently mad he he he)
So that was actually good.

Then last week after we had emailed, we got a text and so had to go give someone a blessing. Turns out it was the husband of a less active member who we are teaching.
Turns out he had TB and we had to wear gloves and face masks to go into his room! It was a little weird
But we gave him the blessing
Yesterday we were passing by the house so decided to go in (plus I saw the daughter playing outside)
Turns out he came home that day, completely healed and he was very grateful for the blessing that we'd given him
He was really open and nice to us, more open that he has ever been before! So hopefully we'll be able to get through to them a bit more! And they are on the verge of coming to church

Sister Mooto also came to church this week.
A less active member who we've been battling to help. But we can't take all the credit because some of the Relief Society members (woman's organization) have been doing a great job of trying to fellowship her!

While on this street where a member lives we knocked on 1 door (and actually we'd given a Book of Mormon and a Restoration pamphlet previously to them, and although they accepted it the mother said they already have a church) we knock on the door, the same kid is there and he invites us in! He'd read some of the Book of Mormon and he said that he loved it! So we taught him!

Been teaching the mission prep class for the last couple of weeks. We have 2 classes, one on Sunday during Sunday school, and one on Tuesdays, right before PEC. We normally have about 10 on Sundays, we had 3 on Tuesday, which is better from the week before when we had 1!
But I enjoy teaching it! It's quite fun, and it's also teaching me a lot of things that I need to know and apply into my life

I'm just so thankful to have been brought up in such a good home where things are done right because coming on my mission you get to see A LOT of different ways. 

I love you lots and hope your week goes well
