Hello. This week was a nice
week. A bit hot, but still nice.
Tuesday was a good day. We met and taught a
refferel from a member. Super nice to get refferals from members. Makes the
work easier and more effective. On Wednesday, we had a nice DDM and even I
shared a ST about facing trials with joy and looking forward to difficulties
because you know it will be for your good or it is for Christ's sake. It is
something that has stood out to me. I want to be the person that has a smile on
his face when challenges hits and always has a great attitude. THe funny thing
is in the afternoon that day we got bounced a ton and it seemed like everybody
we taught was super stubborn and wouldn't even let us talk to them. Funny how
the Lord works sometimes. ha We also taught a nice family. They seem humble and
it was a great lesson. THe thing is they are not legally married. ALso got to
try white ants for the first time. It was white ants and cabbage. It actually
was really nice. It probably helped that it was dark and I couldn't see what I
was eating, but I thoroughly enjoyed. ha Then we had a really nice dinner with
Elder and Sister Grundy. Reminded me of a nice meal back home.
On Thursday.we had a good day. Had a few
bounces, but did some finding which was good. Also taught two powerful
families. Sunny and Jennifer and Peter and his family. They are out two
progressing families right now. They are really cool people and really want to
learn. I am hoping and praying for the best right now. On Friday we were on
exchanges with the ZL. WE were with Elder Kgomo. He is from South Africa. He is
hilarious and makes missionary work fun. We met with some less actives and some
recent converts. We also almost got ran over by a huge cow, but luckily the
lord blessed us. THen we got chased by a drunk guy all the way home. hahaha.
THat guy was not easy. Also got some awesome refferals. SUper nice.
On Saturday we did a lot of finding. Everyone says
they can meet with us on Saturday's, but then they can't. Weird how that
works.ha. But we had some good lessons and found some nice families. On SUnday
it was a great Sabbath. We had 57 at church and we had 7 investigators at
church. 3 families there. It was awesome. The branch was really getting
involved and welcoming them and geetting to know them. The spirit was on fire!
You could feel it. We also found some really nice families after church and got
some nice mangoes from the tree. With the help of some accurate throwing
Ugandan kids. Man I need to bring them back to the USA and start a baseball
team with them. They have some arms.... ha. Kids are funny. ALso had another
version of white ants. THis one was mashed up into a paste dipping thing. It was
not as nice. Kinda tasted like dirt....
It was a great week. Reallly excited for this
upcoming week. The Lord is blessing us in this work. It is fun. I have been
studying through Alma this week and really about the missionary work of Alma
and the sons of Mosiah. Great examples to all of us. I have been really
grateful lately for many of the things that are going on around me. It is one
of my favorite things to do is to be grateful. Especially being grateful to my
Heavenly father. YOur relationship will grow with your father in Heaven as we
are grateful and we realize that we are sons and daughters of him. That he is
our father. I know it to be true. It is something so simple, but yet so
important to really understand. Have a great week everyone. Love you.

Mom questions.....
1. How are your allergies?
My allergies haven't really been a problem. I
have never even taken an
allergy pill since I have been here. I sneeze
sometimes, but other
than that nothing much. (A miracle! Tender
mercy)
2. Do you have a cell phone yet?
Ya we got a cell phone. It has been nice to have
one. THe phone is a
basic Nokia phone. Just the brick ones.
3. What kind of cell phone do they give
you? See previous
4. What is the language that they speak in Gulu?
Other than English that is...
They speak Acholi up here. IT is a weird
language. It sounds like
Chinese or something when they are having a
conversation. I have
learned very small since I have been here.(very
small? I think he is speaking the local slang language now??)
5. How do you feel about Poky baseball beating
highland?
Wow that is
cool! And about Hunter pitching.
Thanks mother for the email and the love. You
are the best. Love you. (My favorite part of every email)
