Week 58

Our Area, Shurugwi.

My Comp and I

Hi,                                     April 1, 2019

This week was great we had Zone Conference and interviews with our Mission President.
For Zone Conference the discussion was centered on the First Vision and the Restoration and Plan of Salvation. I gave a talk about our life and our purpose here on Earth, I always learn a lot when I study. I came to realize that in the pre-earth life we probably received a call letter to come to earth and to keep our first estate, it told us all the things that we were going to go through in life and what we would have to over come and learn the things God wants us to learn. Now that we are here on Earth and don't remember those things we have to try to walk by faith and not by sight. The best thing that God gave us besides life, was our agency. It is up to us to decide if we want to choose captivity and death through the devil or choose liberty and freedom through our Savior, Jesus Christ. (2 Nephi 27)









We have invited a few people to Baptism but some of them accepted but honestly I think that they really didn't mean it, they just said yes to please us. We just have to make sure that they are serious and really want to be baptized.

We do have a lady, Mrs. Madungwe and she is on a baptismal date but she has to get legally married first. That is one of the toughest things here. No one here gets married they just pay the lobola and call it marriage. All it is is buying your wife from her parents and calling her your wife. It's hard for them to pay $15 to get a marriage license and then get married. Ultimately they can't get baptized with out being married or unless they split up.
It's crazy to think I only have 10 months left and soon Garek will be out on his mission.
Love you,
Elder Rasmussen
