Khethani got baptized, and the water was freezing!! She wanted me to baptize her, and it was really cold, but she took it really well adn we managed to do it first time!
We also had Zone Conference this week, my last one!! There are a lot of "lasts" going around at the minute for me. Last Zone Conference, last transfer, last interviews this week! I'm not too, bad, the one thing that is helping is that we have something major planned for every week until I got home. So I don't just have to look forward to the end of the transfer, but I have something to look forward to every week!
The biggest thing is we are having a temple trip on the 16th for our Recent Converts! I am so excited for it, especially because now we have set a firm date and booked it we can get to organizing, and to be honest it hasn't been too hard, the bishop is really on board with it, and is actually going to come along to help. So we are very much looking forward to it!
Zone Conference was really good. They introduced the Christmas iniative, and I have to try and stop myself from being bored by using the excuse that i'll be gone. Although it's true, I still need to keep working hard, which is going pretty well.
I also gave my final departing testimony, which was really weird to give, I didn't really know what to say, so I just bore my testimony, as expected! ha ha. But it was a strange feeling.
To be honest, I'm all mixed up about feelings of coming home. I really love my mission, but I am also excited.
My companion is doing great, we are getting along very well, and things are working out. One of the good things is that we are able to talk about the problems that we have, but also he doesn't hold grudges, which is very nice, as I am not (yet) perfect!!
The problem is as with all new missionaries, they don't really talk too much about it!
Got a great new investigator this week. her name is Thabang, she is a friend of an investigator, who was there when we came to visit. We had our first proper visit with her last week and we are seeing her again today! She seem like she has a lot of potential!!
The other powerful experience that we had is we went teaching with one of the YSA sisters, she is preparing to go on mission so we took her with us for a couple of appointments, and she said that she really enjoyed it! So it's good to see that she will like a mission!
Not much else to mention really, apart from all is going well!
I try not to think about home too much, and I'm pretty good at it. One of the things that I think helps is the fact that I've accepted that I'm going home, and I have a short time left, and I've kinda accepted that I'm not going to be here for everyone's baptisms and that's okay, I still keep doing the best that I can and not going to rush them just so I can be there for it.
Interestingly while writing this a thought came to my head! For at least 2 baptisms, I was transferred out of the area before they got baptized, the first one I wasn't too happy, tried to go back but didn't get permission, and the second one I just kinda accepted it. So now that has prepared me for now! So I still get to keep working hard
