News from Elandslaagte!



 
Hello!
My husband and I are living in Elandslaagte, South Africa, about 30 minutes outside of LadySmith and invited the LadySmith District out to the farm for some fun!  We met your son and had a lot of fun getting to know him.  We're from Utah.  My husband is out here doing an internship until the end of April.  We loved having him over and thought you'd enjoy this photo we took of our Braai.  Happy Day!

Lots of families to teach!

Here is an update on some of the work Elder Shipp has been doing.  He did not put it in paragraph form, he just answered specific questions so I will put in in the Question and Answer format!

Question:  Tell us about some of the families you are teaching.

Answer:
(the number behind the families indicates how many people are in their family)

 Ndlozis-(5) Baba is a Soldier and Ma's a teacher. They have 3 kids. They are like my favorite family to teach. I love them to bits and they've been taught just about everything. Just waiting for them to asked to be baptized since they dont want to be pressured.

Dlala's(3)- Baba is a Pastor and a Medical equipment transporter. Ma's a nurse. They have been taught like everything just waiting for there marrige to finalize. Then they'll enter the waters.

Bhenga's(5)- just tracked into them and they have bad history with missionaries but they love me and elder webster so feels positive.

Baba Sobosiso(1)- He's a Zionist. (traditionalist mixed with christianity) and his fam is mormon so were converting him. He's reading the BOM like crazy so it's looking positve.

The Sinikiwe Family(3)- there Zionist but they always have good questions and they are progressing thru the lessons.

Those are the Families were teaching and there the most significant investigators.
