Hi guys!
Thanks for
your letters this week. It looks like you guys had a nice week, even though not
much happened. Time is really flying, summer is over and Jacob will be back in
school soon. Wow, I will be there before the end of his school year…hard to
believe that I have been here for more than a year but it doesn’t feel like it.
This week
was pretty good. On Tuesday I did a division with an elder from my district,
Elder Palu. He is from Oakland, California. It was fun walking with him in his
area and getting to know him and the investigators and members in his area. I
think doing divisions with the other missionaries is my favorite responsibility
of being district leader. I get a chance to know each of the elders in my
district individually and be able to help them if they need it. On Wednesday we
went to the mission office for a leadership training given by President Kretly.
It was a really good training, he and Sister Kretly answered questions that we
had about different topics. I always love hearing trainings from President
Kretly.
For the
remaining time this week we did a lot of contacting and setting up lessons,
and teaching lessons, we had appointments fall through, just all that normal
stuff. We had a few problems having lessons with members present because every
time we set up a time either our member or the prospective member was not able
to attend. But it's all normal stuff for us. It could sometimes be tiring and
frustrating, but we can't get too frustrated. We are still being very blessed.
We have a good number of families that we are currently teaching and they are
progressing well. We have the goal as a zone here in Matola to find and teach 5
new families every week. It's definitely not an easy task, but it's possible.
I'm really enjoying the work here in Matola 1; it's going very well overall.
And time is absolutely flying by! We have transfers again in 2 weeks from
today! I'm pretty sure I'm staying here, since I just got here, but anything
can happen. For now, I'm enjoying my time here.
Anyway, I
love you and am super happy to hear that everyone is doing fine.
Have a great
week,
Love,
