Dashing Around

We have been dashing around a lot this week.  

We are really enjoying teaching recent converts about temple work,

 priesthood, families, gospel learning, sabbath day, etc. 

 All three families were at church today who we have

 been teaching so that was wonderful  

Visited Nyabombe school.  These children were getting water for their families. 

The school had put up a fence to keep out cattle/goats and planted a new garden.
 They try to feed the school children once they get vegetables.
  Planted squash, rape, okra, etc.  

Teacher's house at Nyabombe nearing completion.  

In all of Africa, the church does a "Helping Hands" project in August. 

 Each ward tries to do a project for the community. 

 We helped the Lusaka ward paint one of the hospital buildings.  

A good turnout of about 30 people from the ward who were able to participate. 

Even Missionaries got involved. 

The biggest helper.

For many, this was the first time they had painted.
 They were excited because it taught them a new skill that they could
 use for a job in the future. 

We try to deliver pizza to those in our district on their birthdays.
 The Elder on the right, sent us two texts reminding us it was his birthday this week.
They all LOVE pizza!!!  

Sister Pulsipher had a new companion today. 
Sister Mau hurt her leg and has not been able to walk much.
 So while her companion went with other missionaries to work in her area,
 she stayed with us.  She's been working in the office lately. 

The very faithful Daka family, one of the recent convert families we have been teaching.
 Today they got up at 6 am, caught a bus at 7 and came halfway to church,
 then walked 6 km the rest of the way to church.  They are really a special family.
Young Jackson, passed the sacrament for the first time today.

Ended the week with a couple being baptized.
 We will put them on our list of recent converts we are teaching.
