Maseru, Lesotho Area - Week 26

Image
Florence and her friends!!! We drive 45 minutes to teach a lesson to 10+ people at once! Proverbs 17:22 - "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones." This week I turn 6 months old on mission!!!!! It is so crazy how fast time has gone. 1/4 of my mission is over! Makes me think if I am really doing all I can out here. I think I am doing my best though and that is what matters!  Something funny that happened last week was when we went to a soccer game on Monday. We walked into the stands where the home team's fans were and they all started cheering and clapping for us! We joined the crowd in singing songs and dancing. They weren't speaking English, so we had no idea what we going on! The people were all super drunk. We even ended up on TV! Teaching the gospel is going well and I am getting more of an idea of what I am supposed to be doing. I remember when I was in the MTC and I had no clue what I was doing haha. No

Maseru, Lesotho Area - Week 25

Elder LaHue, Tebang Makutoane, Refiloe, Elder Adams! Just some normal, solid missionary work this week. We had 2 baptisms on Easter  Sunday !! Their names are Refiloe and Tholang. They were taught separately but are both powerful woman that have strong testimonies! Even more special was the fact that they were baptized on the day that we remember Jesus Christ and His Resurrection. Now they have made a covenant with the Lord on his day! Leading up to Easter, we have been sharing the new LDS Easter videos with people. They are called #PrinceofPeace. I will link the main video in. They are all about feeling peace in our lives through what the Savior has done for us. Each time I share and watch them, I feel a sweet peace in my heart. I hope you can all take 3 minutes out of your day to watch!  More videos at  https://www.mormon.org/?cid= HP_SU_9-4-2017_dMIS_fMORG_ xLIDyL1-A_ Not much else is going on. We are going to a soccer game later today! I've been g

Maseru, Lesotho Area - Week 24

Elders Adams & LaHue, 2tah & Thato! This week has been super powerful! On Friday we had zone conference, so we woke up at 4:30am to make the drive out of the border of Lesotho to Bloemfontein, which is 2 hours away. I got to see some missionaries I haven't seen in a while, including my trainer and close friend Elder Dos Santos. It was so nice to see him!! He has been in Rocklands for almost 6 months now and is doing a great job leading the Bloemfontein zone. We had fun catching up! During conference the theme was "yielding our hearts unto God". We discussed about motivation to do missionary work, being bold, and using our time effectively. The whole day was a learning experience and I'll try to apply what I learned to my work here. During  Saturday  and  Sunday  we watched general conference at the chapel. 11 of our investigators came to church  on Sunday  to watch! It is a unique opportunity for all of us to hear counsel and wisdom direct

Elder Adams, Thato Mohapi, Elder LaHue Sorry for the short email, there was a problem with the internet shop here. I haven't seen General Conference yet because I'm in Africa. I'll see it this weekend! Life is good here. We have about 8 people prepared for baptism  so hopefully everything works out! This is the happiest I have been on my mission so far, Lesotho is really an amazing place! Here are some pictures from the fun hikes and good times we have had so far! I love you all!!
