What an amazing weekend! I don't think I can really write out all the wonderful things that happened to us these last few days but I'll try. Yesterday was the baptism of Sithembile and Thabiso, and I was given the opportunity to baptize them both. What an amazing feeling. I was a little nervous because their last names are Nxamalo and the 'X' in Zulu is a click, you make it with the middle of your tongue sort of like the click you make when your calling a horse. But everything went perfectly, they were so excited. There was a special sweet spirit there the whole time, especially when they bore there testimonies afterwords. They are so very strong, and Coach, Sithembile's husband afterwords told us that he wanted to be baptized as well and would work hard to make it happen. I don't know it's hard to explain the feelings I felt during that time, and what it meant to me to say that I had been "commissioned of Jesus Christ" to baptize them. It was something I will never ever forget. I know this work is true, and when I see the way it's changing peoples lives right in front of me, I mean temporally as well as spiritually it astounds me. I also know that I have very little to do with it, as long as I do my best to invite the spirit in my teaching thats all I can do, the rest is up to the communication between the Lord and the people through the Holy Ghost. And we deserve no credit, I know it seems cliche to say but I can't feel embarrassed for saying it because I'm watching it happen. Right before my eyes. There's so much more I'd like to say but I'm out of time. I love you all and love to hear from you,
Love Elder Scott Brazee
