2019 July 21 Mbombela District Presidency Reorganized

President Leavitt and I traveled to Nelspruit on Saturday and did interviews with our missionaries that afternoon. We had dinner with President and Sister Maleka and President and Sister Manjate later that night. 

On Sunday, 21 July 2019, at 9 am, President Leavitt held a half-hour Mbombela District Conference in KaNyamazane and then the branch continued the meeting with a half-hour sacrament meeting and Sunday School class. The Nelspruit branch held Sunday School at 9 am and then President Leavitt held a Mbombela District Conference for a half-hour followed by a half-hour sacrament meeting.

Formed Lydenburg Group -- Pres. Sibanyoni will conduct and preside at most group meetings in Lydenburg (an hour and twenty to forty minute drive to Nelspruit Chapel down a windy mountain road which members have been faithfully driving for 14 years). The Lydenburg Group will start meeting on 4 August 2019 at the Roeloffze home.

We have found a flat for our missionaries to stay in Lydenburg to work there for three days and to work in Nelspruit for four days until we receive more missionaries to send a dedicated companionship to Lydenburg. Another companionship serves in KaNyamazane.

President Leavitt and I drove the four hours home (one construction delay and two large trucks stopped in the middle of the freeway at different places) after all the extra meetings afterwards were completed.
