Makadii Week 81!

The end of another week in good ol' Zimbabzwe. (That's how President Mkhablea says Zimbabwe.) :)

The first week of the transfer has gone well and I have enjoyed being with and getting to know Elder Byrom. He is from a place two hours outside of London called Star, England. It is not far from Cheddar, England where the original cheddar cheese comes from. Kinda cool! His dad is his Stake President, and he has 3 sibilings, 2 brothers and one sister. He is set to attend BYU Provo after his mission and he has plans to become a dentist. He says he wants to live in Arizona. His dad was actually born in Harare back when it was still Rhodesia. He has some cousins living in Harare right now. He is just turning 1 year on his mission and he is a great guy. We have been working hard and I have been showing him the members and the area in Rimuka. We are having struggles seeing progress, and we are going to fall well short of our goal this month which is a bummer. We had planned to have a baptism for Br. Semba this coming week, but he hasn't been able to come to church for the last 2 weeks so we have to postone it until September. We did have 4 other investigators come to church this week, and it was the first time for 3 of them. We are being patient and doing our part. Miracles are on the way for sure! :)

Everyone in the zone is now settled and all of the new misisonaries have arrived. The transfer is now rolling right along. This week on Friday, Sister Oscarson, the General Young Women's President, will be visiting Zimbabwe. We are privelged to attend a devotional with her in Harare. Missionaries from from Chegutu, Kadoma, and Bindura get to attend the devotional along with the missionaries in Harare. I am excited to meet her and to attend the meeting. Should be sweet! :)

This morning after going to the gym, all of us elders in Kadoma climbed the water towers and got a nice view of all of Kadoma. It was sweet!

Not much to report this week. The work continues! It has been fun to talk to Elder Byrom about the differences between British English and American English this week. I always tell him how American English is better. haha :)

I guess this full solar eclispe is a pretty big deal so I hope it is sweet. Love you all! For those who are starting school soon, have a blast this fall semester. Talk to you next week! Tinowonana! :)
