this week was full of some interesting times. on tuesday we got a call from the mission president, he informed us that we would be taking a new missionary under our wings for about a week. the new missionary is named sister ndahalele from namibia. she was called to serve in the kenya mission and will be reporting to the mtc this week wednesday. her parents were VERY against her coming on mission and as the time was getting closer for her to come, she was facing more and more danger. finally the Spirit told her it was time for her to go early. basically she packed her bags, and snuck out of her house in the middle of the night, and went to the senior couples in her area at home. the senior couples contacted president omer (our mission president) and she was given special permission from him to join us for the week, until she can safely enter into the mtc. she was set apart that night, and then put on a plane, on wednesday she was with us. I really can't believe she hasn't gone to the mtc, i feel like she is so much more experienced at missionary work than my companion and i! she will be very missed when she has to go to the mtc.
this week is transfers, my companion and i will be seperated (sadly) she will be training and i will be going to the neighboring area. you know you are a sister missionary in the botswana mission when transfers consists of you moving closets and beds!
anyway, the work is sweet, pray for us,
love you
sister blum
