A Visit to Sister Dorothy's

Dorothy Sashani was baptized not long after we got here.  And she is such a sweet sister.  She was very generous with us at Christmas and probably spent more money on us than she should have.  Anyway, this night was only one of many visits to her flat.  This is the building she lives in.  She has a little flat behind this one.  This is where Sister Shumba, the RS President, stays,  She is the one who introduced Dorothy to the gospel. To get to her house, we drive through these trees and it is a one-way road.  We waited for the mini bus (main source of transportation here) to come through the trees.

Shortly after she as baptized, her nephew, Jacob (she calls him her brother.  Everybody here is a brother or sister regardless of the family relationship) moved in with here to teach school.  He started taking the lessons too.  He is such a happy and special person.  We're glad we got to know him too!

We took them the conference Liahona and were just looking at the picture of the general authorities in the center fold.   She is really a beautiful woman!

The picture below is after a FHE. She had invited her neighbor and is already being a great missionary.  With Elders Abasai and  Shabalala. 

   

We feel like our faces are just too plain white when we are with these beautiful and wonderful black people!  They really are beautiful!

These children stay in her complex.  They are playing a game similar to jacks, but they play with rocks instead of a rubber ball and metal jacks.  They are quite creative in their toys and games. 

We love Sister Dorothy and are so happy she has accepted the gospel of Jesus Christ.  She is looking for a job and won't consider any waitress job that has a bar!  She is so faithful!!
