April 9th 2018 - Pure Love

hello hello hello.

Okay so this week was a little kenge. (crazy) Everyone in the branch was going through some sort of trail.  So I ended up giving 5 blessings this week.  One of the Ma's in the branch just had her husband leave her for the second time.  She had a dream where she didn't want her husband to take this job he was about to get but he didn't listen to her and he got the job and got into stealing diesel.  And then she had a dream of his garments being torn.  (they were married in the temple) and then she found out he was having an affair and drinking and smoking. And then her son got hijacked and the men almost killed him but the cops came.  Then two nights ago she had her car broken into. So you can say shes having some trails.

Were working hard on this Swahili family and they are doing super well.  One of the boys had a good question.  "If  the priesthood was lost when Jesus died then how did Joseph Smith get it?" Here in South Africa you don't hear  questions like that.

Okay so General Conf was insane!!!  So many changes and what what.  Hope everyone adjusts well to that. But my fav talk was by some dude talking about pure love.  He was talking about sitting by his mom who was sick or something and she wanted him to teach her to pray so she could pray for him.  I know that pure love is when we forget about ourselves and just show compassion to someone else.  So everyone needs to love Christ.  Sometimes we just want ourselves to be happy when really if we serve Christ and forget ourselves we can feel happy. 

okay so hopefully these pics send!!!

love yall
