Baptism coming up & its hot!

Hey Everyone,
Not much happened this week, but I think this is the fastest week that went by on my mission. We have done a lot of finding and trying to keep a routine and find during the week and also to keep are teaching pool fresh. Too many people are busy saying that they are cooking or they are about to leave as soon as we get to the home. It okay because as long as we are trying no effort is wasted. This week we have a baptism coming up and hopefully she will make it. She is 18 and she is really interested in the church. She understands every lesson and doesn't have anything holding her back. One of our investigators struggles a little bit with coming to church, but that's is because the chapel is outside of our area and the walk there is an hour or more from the furthest point of our area. We usually get 2 to 3 at church and it is a requirement to for baptism to come to church, but all is well we just got to keep truckin.

Some discussions are amazing the spirit is really strong and the people just say the perfect answers and when I say something and after I am done speaking I can't recall a single word that I just said serious. He has mysterious ways of revealing His truth to us, we just need to be able to recognize the message. The most remarkable thing on how the spirit works and how it teaches through us, we really are the Lord's instruments. One guy's name is Selebogo and he is about late 20's and plays cricket and understands everything, but hasn't come to church yet. This other guy's name is Sabelo, he is about mid 20's, very powerful and has tons of questions and he just needs to come to church as well. That seems to be the biggest struggle with investigators.

It is getting so hot here, it really is unbelievable. I can barely take it any longer, when we are in lessons I am just looking like I went swimming because the houses are metal shacks and they just attract heat!!!!!

Everyone have another good week and stay safe and keep well.
Love, Elder Bryner
