Hey guys! I had YET ANOTHER fabulous week...as usual!
Monday: After emailing, we went and ate lunch and shopped. Guys, I will give you 5 bond notes if you can guess where we ate...KFC! I know you are all thinking, "what?!" Same. I was so shocked. My companion was like, "Do you want KFC for lunch?" and I was like, "Heck yeah!" So we got KFC. It honestly is a lot better here in Zimbabwe than it is in America. They also have sadza as a part of their menu, which was cool.
Tuesday: District Meeting! We ate Nando's for lunch after DM, which is such an incredibly wonderful place. TOO BAD it isn't in America! So I won't be able to eat there once I get home. Sister Park and I saw Lazarus, who is one of my favorite investigators! I probably say that about everyone, but Lazarus is just a cool guy. We taught him about the Book of Mormon and he was so excited to read it!
Wednesday: This day was the literal craziest day, but it was good! So remember how last week we got Sacagawea stuck? Yeah so we really didn't want that to happen again. This time, we parked our car at one of our members houses and walked up to White Cliff South. Was it around a mile and a half walk? Yes. Did we enjoy it? Also yes. Did Sister Lewis wear sunscreen? NOPE. #regrets So we get up to White Cliff South, and ALL of our appointments fell through! We had about four appointments planned up there, but no one could see us! So we walked back down the mountain, and had our appointments in White Cliff. We saw a few people, and then made our way BACK to White Cliff South to see the boys. By the time we get back up there, I am pretty much fried. #oops So Tapiwa's mom said something SO POWERFUL as we were waiting for the boys. She only speaks broken English, but she was pointing out that I got burned. She looked at me in the eyes and said, "But you are burned for the Lord." I sat there in profound silence. I wasn't even mad that I got burned or anything, but I was like WOW this lady has awesome perspective. It was a great day!
Thursday: MISSION TOUR! So Elder Ellis from the Presidency of the Africa Southeast Area came and spoke to us. He was really inspired and gave us so much encouragement, and also things that we needed to work on. The most spiritual moment, though, was a talk that was given by one of the missionaries of our mission. I won't mention the name for privacy's sake, but they gave a beautiful talk about the Plan of Salvation. At the beginning of the talk, they told us that they had just found out the week before that their mom had passed away. I cannot even imagine the difficulty of losing your mom on mission. This missionary was so strong, though, and told us about their decision to stay on mission and finish until their time to go home. Please pray for this missionary! I am doing so. I really respect their strength and bravery.
Friday: Normal proselyting day, but we also got to do weekly planning on Friday since we didn't get to do it on Saturday!
Saturday: Normal proselyting day! Nothing to report on. Lots of spiritual lessons!
Sunday: Fast Sunday! These days are always my favorite. I love going to church every week! We had investigators keep their commitments of coming to church, which we were so happy about! Sister Park and I got to teach Young Women's because they didn't have a teacher! We also taught Gospel Principles. We just get to teach a whole lot haha.
I had a great week! I am happy, healthy, and loving life! Have a great week!
Love, Sister Lewis
