Dear Friends and Family,
This week was a roller
coaster of emotions. It had its highs
and some major lows.
Unfortunately this week Chris
informed us he would not continue meeting with us. We love him dearly and will
continue the friendship that we have developed. He is an amazing man. The work goes on however!
This week, just like past
weeks, we have seen the Lord bless us countless times. Many members we have
spoken with this week have informed us of friends and family members who would
love to meet with us. We've had people bring their friends to church and we've
had people, who are searching for the truth, just walk into church!
This week I experienced
arguably one of the happiest days of my mission... Nearly 3 years ago as I was
serving in Protea Glen and as my companion and I walked the streets we stopped
a young man named Mncedisi. After a quick conversation and leaving him with a
Plan of Salvation pamphlet we scheduled to meet with him at his home a few days
later. Mncedisi was baptized in December 2016 roughly two weeks after I
returned home. This past Saturday I had the sacred privilege of listening to
him as he opened and read his mission call... Mncedisi has been called to serve
in the Botswana Namibia Mission and reports to the Johannesburg Missionary
Training Center on Thursday, September 12th, 2019. I wish I could describe the joy I have
received from participating in this sacred work of gathering scattered
Israel. D&C 18:15
15 And if it so be
that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and
bring, save it be one soul unto
me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father!
Sincerely, Elder Rash
