April 13, 2015 "We drove 1,545 kilometers"


So this week has been super hectic to say the least and I am honestly glad that it is over... All in all we drove 1,545 kilometers.... haha I think that is a new record! So at the beginning of the week we had two days to spend in our own area and do some work.  It was really fun but a lot of people were still not back from visiting family over the easter holidays but we still worked with what we had.  Then we had another ROAD TRIP to Joburg the three and a half hour drive feels like nothing anymore... Almost like I am just going up to Heber to fish.  I really cherish those drives because that is when I have gotten close to my comps and even other missionaries.  We had Elder Koyle in the car with us who is the new AP and he is just powerful and I look up to him loads! He is awesome!   
Then we had a great dinner with the Dunns and talked forever and a lot of it was about sleep talking which sister Dunn has some funny stories of haha.  Then we had MLC the next day which was really amazing and the topics that were brought up were really inspired and even myself was edified and corrected from what was said! Its cool when it works like that...  
So then we were driving back to Limpopo and I forgot to give Sister Dunn her gate clicker so we turned around and took it back into the office.  It couldn't have been more inspired! When we got there President Dunn called us into his office.  Usually back at home when I was called into an office I was in trouble so I did get a little nervous but then President explained about a situation that was going on in our zone and how an emergency transfer was needed.  As we sat down and discussed we had this idea and then we all got down on our knees and one of the assistants offered a prayer.  After the prayer we sat there in silence for a couple of minutes and we all went around and gave our thought that the spirit gave to us.  It was amazing because all of us agreed on the same plan and long story short both companions now are happier than ever.  That truly gave me a strong testimony that President Dunn is extremely inspired and that I am where the Lord wants me to be not just where President wants me to be.   
We have these two investigators that are college kids and they have been showing a bit of interest in coming to church so we told them that we would walk with them.  They agreed and so we were waiting for them and then we were about to go to church because they were so late and then we saw them walking down the street.  It was a 40 minute walk and we only had 25 minutes till it started.  So with faith we started walking.  about half way there with 10 minutes till it started a member pulled up beside us and asked us if we needed a ride.  I said yes then whispered to myself "what took you so long!" hahaha in a joking manner of course so we got there just on time.  Then we got to church and realized we were watching the relief society session and we have two college males and they said they would only be there for the first one.  I was sad but then after it they both said actually we would like to stay and they loved it! it was so cool and I really hope they could feel the love their Heavenly Father had for them! 

Anyways it was a sweet week and things are just going quick!!!

Love you all, JONNY
