The Rise of the Springs District🔥

Sawbona Unjani everyone? I am back from the dead. How about that General Conference?! Sheesh. I'll get to that later though. 


It's been crazy this side of the Southern Hemisphere. As some of you know I'm currently a DT (District Trainer) so I'm training my son Elder Marzan while also being the District Leader of the Springs District. The funny part is that when this transfer was soon to start (4 weeks ago) I quite literally said "I sure hope President doesn't make me a DT"... guess God disagreed with that one. 


It's been a Grind trying to work with this District. For some weird reason the District has been struggling in many aspects. But this past week was so miracle filled! As a District we made the decision to just give it our all and act in all Diligence and Trust God's plan and timing... we destroyed it in every way shape or form! We found so many people to teach and we had over 70% of our Recent Converts come to church which has been a major struggle. The Lord truly does pay you back with the increase (1 Corinthians 3:6-8) <----- Fire verse btw.


Hopefully we will have our second baptism this week. It's a Gogo (grandma), her name is Lettakopotsa. She's a Sotho lady so I've been able to speak with her in Sotho a little which has been nice. We found her our first week here and now she will hopefully be baptized this week! 



Here's my fire #1 quote from General Confrence:


" Don't let the world Change you when you were born to change the World"

 - Bradley R. Wilcox


There's much I could say since I'm horrible at sending emails (but hey it keeps me mysterious) that's what my homecoming is for😅.


I hope everyone had a wonderful Conference weekend. The Lord's Vineyard is white and ready to harvest. (Also I hit a year on mission so that's lit)


I know this was probably the most bounced around Email you've ever read but that's exactly what my heads been like for a while now but as a missionary I'm obligated to leave with you an invitation so that will be to Imagine that the Lord Jesus Christ was planning to come in ten years from now... and for some reason he told you that.. what would you change? What would you do differently? How would you prepare? 


We do not know when he will come again... but it's soon and it's going to be in the blink of an eye... so ponder these questions... and after pondering them. Act on them. Make plans to accomplish them, set goals and all that fun stuff. I promise you won't regret it.


I love you all! Hope you have a Lekker week! Until next time (whenever that is 😉)

  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...
