Dumelang Everyone!

I hope everyone is having the absolute time of their life. I know I am bad at emails but to be fair not much has happened these past few weeks.

This past week I completed my 5th Baptism so far in the mission! This time was my first time doing the confirmation which was awesome. Our zone has a massive goal of 40 baptisms in the month of February and we have 5 on date and we each need 7 so we are getting there! Lesotho is flourishing at rapid rates. Recently we have put in efforts to have another branch open up in the country which is about to actually happen! We also have gotten the numbers to make the Lesotho District turn into a Stake so hopefully that happens soon as well! We also might have our first ward in the country! Its an amazing time to be a missionary.

While doing my first confirmation I also got to be in the circle to ordain 2 youth to the office of deacon and one to Priest so there has been a lot of first times this past week!

You may remember a while back me and the Khubetsoana Elders attempting to make it to a water fall and while failing to do so we got lost in the mountains and I almost died. Well last week we tried again! This time with the full Masianokeng and Maseru Districts! Just in case we paid M100 to  have a guide take us to the falls (Just to get there, he ditched us after we made it). Thanks to that, we finally made it to the falls! Of course Ive been to a few waterfalls since the first attempt but still we finally made it!

All in all God made a beautiful planet with beautiful mountains, trees, animals, plains and in this case waterfalls. God created this beautiful Earth to be appreciated, so (as a missionary) I invite everyone to take some time to appreciate the beautiful world around you, take in some fresh air, go for a walk, do something outside and just LOOK! 

I hope everyone has an amazing week and I shall see you next week for another email! (Maybe)

-Love, Elder Hennessey

  Happy Tuesday morning!! ☀️☀️ it’s a lovely day so far:) Ok! So here’s an experience I have been feeling like I want to share with you all: Maybe a week ago? Ish? I was in the temple for to do initiatories. I can’t remember if I had an appointment or I was just walking in… I think I was just walking in.  The PCC temple has a really good system for helping people who walk in w/out an appointment be able to do initiatories. However after they got my name and all that jazz they asked me to sit in the front area where the desk is instead of in the back near the booths bc the benches back there were full. This was sorta upsetting to me, I had gone that day really hoping to be able to feel the spirit. But being up there near the desk meant I had to try and tune out all the happenings and chatting there. Recently I’ve discovered that when I’m anxious I can get pretty sound sensitive. So if there’s any noise going on it can completely overwhelm me with anxious thoughts.  I start...
