I'm sorry you havent heard from us in so long. As you can see above we are having a little trouble with housing! Actually we are checking out what we can afford. How do you like it?
Today we served as Mormon Helping Hands in Kamagugu. We planted a lawn for a school for the disabled. this is how you do it... Elder Moss take a broom handle and make a hole then then I put a plug of grass in the hole and cover it. The closer you put the plugs the sooner you will have a lawn.
It was fun, there was a good turnout and it felt good to dig in the dirt.
This week we were able to take Nomsa to the airport. She was on her way to the MTC in Ghana.
She is the first missionary to serve from KaNamazane. She is wonderful girl full of fun and loves the gospel She is the only member in her family..but her family was very supportive they came out to the airport to see her off. The branch had a party for her with a big turnout. Everyone loves Nomsa!
Our landlord showed up one day to paint our flat. I invited him and the painter in and left the room!
When I came back in the painter had started painting. It was NEON lime green! I said "ohh you can't paint that in all the rooms in the house." "Whats the matter don't you like green" "Yaa but not that green all over the walls!" I finally convinced him that he could not paint the walls that color and they returned with an off white! It was actually quite funny!
This pictures doesn't even begin to show what the true color was!
Nov. 4, 2012 the first stake in Botswana was formed. We were so excited for them, the only thing better would have been if we could have been there! It will really make the work go forth in Botswana. We are also expecting that Botswana will be made a mission seperate from South AFrica,
but of course we don't have any idea when.
We were so excited to hear the announcement about about the change of age for missionaries. The Lord is truly "hastening" his work. this is a time when the only safety is in holding to the rod. We must go forward and look upward. Pray for each other in your families and pray for yourself that you will stay strong through these troubled times. The Lord is truly watching over us we have experienced so many miracles while on this mission. I could never deny that I know the Lord knows each one of us
and our sorrows and our joy's. He is standing at the door, the handle is on our side we open that door through pray.
We have been here for 1 year already only 6 months left. I will miss these people and their spirit but will love to see our family and friends again.
Remember how much a missionaries loves to hear from home. Don't forget us we will be back.
Love Elder and SisterMoss
