Elder Hayden Rasmussen: Week 49

Gweru Zone Conference

Elder Burrows and I

Gweru Zone Conference

Jan 28, 2018

Hi!
My week was good and very busy, like very busy we didn't have much down time but that's okay.
Today we had to drive to Bulawayo for Mission Leadership Council and we have an area seventy coming his name is Elder Sitati, so that's cool. We will be there overnight and come back tomorrow.
So we taught this lady about the Restoration and at the end we invited her to pray about Joseph Smith. She told us that she had no reason to say that he wasn't a true prophet, because she can see all that came after him like all the nice chapels and missionaries from all over the world. She said that if this was a mans church it would have faded away by now but she can see that it is here and going strong. I thought that was pretty cool to hear from someone.
All of the riots have stopped and nothing is going on anymore which is good. All of the shops are open so now we can get food. I understand that why everyone was rioting and it was because the price so fuel went from $1.60 a liter to $3.30 a liter so that is like $12.49 a gallon which is so expensive.
Elder Holmes and I are doing good he is a great companion and we are working hard. I am not driving as often because he is the designated driver and so he drives most of the time. We don't have to wait in fuel lines anymore we have found a place that will take US dollars so that's were we fill the truck up and there is never a line.
We still get the same amount of time to study we may not always get the full time but we do our best to get it done. I have come to love the Book of Mormon more and more. There are so many things we read in it that are so helpful but the biggest thing is that it talks about our Savior, Jesus Christ. I really love Helaman 5:12. We need to build our foundation on Christ and if we do this we cannot fall because he is our sure foundation.
Love you,
Elder Rasmussen
