The work continues to move forward in Eswatini. Caleb had another baptism this week,
3 for the district. He said their chapel is full and he doesn't know how many
more will be able to fit!
What a nice problem to have! If they can get a few more Melchizedek Priesthood holders,
they'll probably be able to create another branch.
He didn't have a lot to report on this week other than the baptism and zone conference.
I think he really enjoys seeing other missionaries. A new zone was created last transfer so
there aren't as many as there used to be in their zone, and Caleb basically lives in
the "boonies" of his area, if you will. He really enjoyed the message from
his mission president's wife.
He's put his thoughts on that in this week's email, and we indeed have witnessed many miracles!
Here are some pictures and this week's email:
Caleb with his two companions. Their names are hard for me to remember,
but he's enjoying getting to know them.
Sister Laguna, the mission presidents wife, often shares
about miracles, stating that missionary work is a work of miracles. So
she encourages us to share our miracles that we see. This week I will
not share about miracles I've seen as a missionary but instead of a
miracle thats been on my mind recently. In January of this year, my mom
had a medical emergency, to the point that we weren't sure she would
live much longer. At the time I was at college two and a half hours
away. But the first small miracle was that I had packed bags already
because I was planning on going home that weekend, and unlike usual I
packed ahead of time instead of the day I left. And then right before
losing service in the canyons leaving ephraim, my sister called me and
gave me more information and let me know that I needed to pick up my
brother-in-law. And when I arrived I found much of my extended family
already there with loving arms. And of course the largest miracle of all
is that my Mother lives to this day. There were many miracles in this
experience both large and small. I have a testimony that the Lord is
still a Lord of Miracles today, they didn't cease in the scriptures.
