The work continues to be as busy as ever. I got the chance to be companions with two former companions this week. On Wednesday Elder Onsongo and I went on exchanges to my old area of g-west. It was sweet. I taught a lot of the same people and the best was that I got to interview Isaac Monare. He is a nephew to Lape, Bathusi's sister in-law. I also taught Isaac and even put him on baptism date just before I got transfered. so it was sweet to see him and to see the testimony and change within him. That night we also got to stop at Bathusi's place to see the family. We found Bathusi on the couch with a brace on his knee. He told us that on Sunday night he was going to see his wife in Ramotswa where she is schooling and working. On the way he ended up flipping the car and it was rolling. He ended up in a ditch. When he got out of the car he looked at the car and realized he shouldn't be alive. He then started praying. Later, as he came back to the car to get his phone and things, he found his phone, scripture bag and first aid kit sitting neatly away from the car as though someone had placed them there. If you heard the whole story it is easy to see some divine intervention. It strengthened his faith.
Well then on Friday and Saturday we had 5 baptismal interviews. So our district leader (Elder Bakker) came to Gabs to be companions with me. That was nostalgic. Anyways, the interviews went well. One of them who was supposed to be baptized into the Young Single Adult ward next week had to be moved to this week so that Isaac and her could be on the same day. So we had a baptism this Sunday. It was beautiful. Both Isaac and Esther (the one who's baptism was moved to yesterday) gave powerful testimonies. It was awesome. oh man I felt good there.
Other than that I'm still just trying to stay alive. Life is busy...but it's good. very good. :)

Greetings from Oregon,
It is nice to be able to read your blog and know how things are going in South Africa. It sounds like you are enjoying new food and growing in leadership.
Things in Oregon are good. We are looking forward to having Elder Leng home soon. He is on the border town of Eagle Pass perfecting his Spanish.
Andrew is finishing up his junior year now. He is busy with football wrestling and rugby. One sad thing is that Cosmo died a few months ago so we are adjusting to having just one cat and one boy at home now.
Take care and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers even if we have not e-mailed you as much as we should.
With Love Mith, Janet and Andrew Leng.
