Dear everyone,

Today marks the start of a new transfer! My old companion, Elder Musgrave, flew to Malawi yesterday. Elder Woldemichael and I took Elder Zulu to the airport to go to Zimbabwe yesterday as well. The only airline flying into Harare anymore is Air Zimbabwe. Zambia, Malawi, and South Africa don't fly there anymore, haha.

The week was good for us. We taught a good amount of lessons despite having zone conference. One investigator that we are very excited about is Suy Jado (pronounced "sigh"), the one from Angola. He is wonderful and very committed. His wife doesn't speak any English unfortunately. He works everyday except Saturdays and Sundays. On Saturday we taught him the second half of the gospel, baptism and confirmation and enduring to the end. He loved it and told us that the desire of his heart was to receive the Holy Ghost someday. Cool!

The work is moving forward. Our hope is to have 4 baptisms on 26 July. Things are looking good for that now.

I have been studying Jesus the Christ by James E. Talmage recently, and wow what a great book. I started from the beginning a few months ago and now I'm on chapter 35 or so, just at the Atonement. I really have to be "in the zone" to study it or else I don't get very much, but I have learned a lot from it about the life of Christ, His parables, etc. I recommend it to all.

Sorry but time is out so I gotta go.

The things I am teaching are true!

Love,
Elder Mckay Moline
