This was a very special Sabbath day here for the Potchefstroom branch. First 72 Saints gathered for the regular block of meetings. Sacrament meeting was especially memorable because sister Mogapi spoke about how the atonement was personally meaningful to her. She spoke from her heart and read only a few things from a paper. It was a very moving talk.  After the block we had a baptism – Gomolemo Tladi Sebokwane which is pronounced – Ho Mo Lay Mo – Clod E – C -Back – Wana – was baptized by David Rampai. David did an excellent job but had to do it twice as he did not get his head all the way under the first time. His family was present so that was good also. Since next week we will have conference, we had the confirmation after the baptism. I had the privilege of confirming him a member of the Church.  During and after the baptism, the Relief Society sisters and others were busy setting up for a surprise social to celebrate the Kwaikwai’s marriage. Luckily the president had a number of interviews he needed so he was in his office while the final preparations were being done. They kept telling me that they needed more time so I kept feeding the president interviews – they would say 10 more minutes and I would get them 20 but then they wanted more. Of course when they were ready, the president got into a long interview and everyone had to wait. I was sure the president knew what was going on but he told me he really did not – he did not plan to have a party until their 1st anniversary. Why I think he may not have known is that when they asked him to speak he got completely tongue-tied and only spoke for a minute or two. He mentioned that this was unusual for him since he loves to talk too much.
