Family Home Evening with the Qinisile's and Elders Ramat and Pennington

We went to teach a lesson to an investigator this evening with Elders Ramat and Elder Pennington.  The lesson was a family home evening at the Qinisile’s.  Brother Yonelani Qinisile is a member of the bishopric in the Queenstown ward.  Sister Qinisile’s sister, Odwa is the investigator who has a baptismal date set for this coming Sunday.  We sang an opening hymn, showed the video of the restoration and then each person had the opportunity provide a testimony of what impressed them. 

Then we played some cadence games.  You can see Elders Ramat and Pennington really concentrating on getting it right.  I will have to teach my family the President, President cadence game when we get home. 

It was Brother Qinisile’s birthday so we also had cake as well.  They have a tradition of pouring water on someone for their birthday and this was done about halfway through the evening by his Sister-in-law Odwa.  You can see his shirt is still wet in the upper left picture.  Sister Qinisile also provided us food as well. 

Sister Thomas took over their daughter and held her for most of the evening and did quite well during the games even with the baby on her lap. 

Odwa will make a strong member in the church and she certainly has strong family support around her.  We will watch her with interest as she grows in the gospel.
