wait..... Wasn't I just emailing?

Love that smile and those eyes and this nice lady.....love it all

Hello, it feels like a just was emailing yesterday..... like really.......... I think the mission goes by faster and faster as it goes on......................

This week was great though. We have a couple people that are progressing towards baptism coming up this week on Friday. The first is Patricia. She is awesome and has been coming to the church for a long time. She works at a fast food place called Ponnus. They have nice chicken and chips! The other is Sister Debrah. She is a sister to a recent convert. She loves the church and the gospel and was asking us when she was getting baptized! She is from South Sudan and it seems like a lot of South Sudanese are coming to the gospel right now! They should both be baptized this Friday! So we are excited for them. We also had 2 investigators that were going to be baptized this transfer, unexpectedly move and won't come back for some time, but all is well They will be baptized eventually........... 

This week we have been receiving a lot of referrals. Even from our south Sudan friends! They gave us some people to teach that have a lot of potential! We also did some finding this week on Wednesday and we found some success, but as we were heading back to go somewhere else.... A women stopped us and said "where is the Kingdom Hall" We were like ooh we are not Jehovah's witness we are from the Church of Jesus Christ! She was like ohhh. So we gave her our contact and invited her to church. The next day she called us and we met with her and her brother! They are awesome and definitely a tender mercy from the Lord! 

On Sunday we had Stake Conference and it was awesome... I am not sure how many people came, but it seemed to be a lot! The spirit was there for sure and it was good to see some of the Entebbe people. I also got to go to Entebbe after the conference and visit a few people! Which was awesome and I love the people of Entebbe! Some great memories there! Today we just chilled and cooked a chicken. It was nice! 

here chicky chicky....time for din din

Just enjoying every second right now! Mission is great! Going to have another great week! I hope everything is good back home!

This week what I liked was when me and my companion were attending the BoM class at the church during the week. We were studying the book of Mormon and I feel like I know the book of Mormon pretty good, but I learned so much just from that simple class! I was surprised and I realized that knowledge is endless and that we can never stop learning and we should never stop trying to learn and gain more knowledge. I also learned that there is so much joy in learning new things, especially from the scriptures and about the gospel!

“The gospel is a fountain of knowledge that never runs dry. There is always something new to learn and feel.”—Bishop Gérald Caussé. 

Have a great week. Love you.

Love Elder Beck

a bucket of happy right there

MOM QUESTIONS.....

1.  Do they eat sweets in Africa?  If so what is a typical treat? (I think I already asked this but I'm running low on questions)

Ya they have small hard candies and lolipops and carmels and stuff like that. But the candy in America is better. Mostly the kids eat it, but sometimes I buy some. hahaha

1b. Como estas?

Bulungi nyo!  (huh?  a small small in African lingo??)

2.  How is it being in a ward with 140 plus people?

It is great! It is unusual and it is hard to remember people that you meet. hahaha. I feel like I will never know the members here. hahaha.

3.  Do u want to go back to Africa some day?  I would like to go

Ya I can go back some day.

4.  What do the people do for entertainment? Movies, dance, too busy to play?

They love music here. You can always here someone blaring really annoying music or music that you want to dance to, but can't. haha. They also love these translated movies. They translate it into english, but it isn't just a translation of words, but they even explain things that are  going on. so even if it is completely silent you can still here a voice translating what is going on. hahaha. They also like to dance here. If you ever go to a wedding reception here. You will see what I mean. hahaha.

5. Bike ride when you get back....you wanna?

I am excited to go on that bike ride when I get back up into the mountains....
