Um…Well….
I probably put that subject
like 12 times by now and it’s always because I never remember the week when I
start, but as I write it comes back to me….
So, an Elder in my apartment is
going home next week after 2 full years so it’s exciting for him and distracting
me. haha.
The Week was good! We finally got our new meeting house and so
we had 6 investigators come to church! 5
to Sacrament and about 10 or 12 people we haven’t taught, but were invited by
members to come! Among them were 4 of
the village Elders (The villages here have Chiefs and Elders.) (The Chief wasn’t
able to make it so he sent his Elders.)
As you can see, MEMBERS ARE HOW MISSIONARY WORK MOVES FASTER!! It was a cool time. The Sacrament Hall
reminds me of a prison. It is a church built facility that we are only using
for a small time so they didn’t put full walls up. It is just 2 full walls and 2 half walls with
a roof. But people could hop in and
steal the chairs so they but metal bars up to fill the half walls, so it
reminds me of a prison. It’s a HUGE
place! We can fit about 100 people in
there if we use the chairs right and our branch only has about 20 people and
half are children (actually more than half, but still!) We are expecting and hoping for growth.
And then we come to today! We
had a zone activity at the beach. We played beach football--2 hand touch. (the
real football) and it was great. I felt
like I was all grown up playing in the turkey bowl--but on sand that is hard to
run on! Kyle and Jordan, you'd be proud
of me! I got a pick (almost) 6. It was a fun time. We also got zone shirts that are really
tight!!! So, I look like a buff guy, but
I’m not.
Also, during study this week (or
maybe it was last week) (or maybe it was when my companion was sick--I don’t
remember!) I was singing hymns in the apartment alone and I sang hymn 97 (one
of the best hymns ever!) I just love it!
Especially the last line in the first verse. “One step enough for me.” I don’t need to know everything, just enough
to keep going. I just need to know where
next to step and trust the Lord that I’m going the right way. Of course, I know the destination I want to
go, but when you look at the whole road you really don’t need to see where you
will step 45 steps from now, just where
you will step the next step.
Alright I think that’s it.
I hope everyone had a great week!
I know I did!
(this computer has a virus so I can’t send pictures. Sorry!)
love you all!
