Week #17 Merry Christmas






"I also got to meet some people I have never met before like Elder Rees. He's from Kaysville and went to the same high school that I went to. I got to mess around with him so that was awesome! I love Elder Rees!"  - Elder Hayden Grange

For part of the mission activity we had a spiritual conference part. We set up tables and had different rotations with trainings for the missionaries on Preach My Gospel sections. It was great! We also did some other activities and played some games. It was weird because we were allowed to wear normal clothes.  It felt soooo nice haha! The next day we went to an orphanage and did a service project! The orphanage is on a lot of land and some of us helped trim bushes and lots of other yard work. It was really dirty so there was a lot to do. Other missionaries cleaned up others things and made lunch for the kids that range from kindergartners to 12th graders. We got to eat with them, played with them, and then did a talent show! It was a lot of fun. We got to wear normal clothes again which was awesome.

Week #49 - Church News in Mozambique - July 29th, 2019

Short and brief this week!  I am staying in Beira for another transfer!!  They brought me your package! Thank you, Thank you ! I cannot tell you how much it meant to open it up.  A bunch of missionaries had already looked through it, but I don't think they took anything.  The shoes are AMAZING!!  I feel like I am in heaven when I wear them in the area.  The basketball hoop is the highlight when we come back home and I am trying to stretch out the food!  Please tell Benjamin thank you again for bringing for me!   I had tons of splits with different missionaries this week.  My companion had other responsibilities.  Our Bishop has set up for us to only mark baptisms for every 2 weeks now.  I think that will help them keep up with all the new members.  We are still teaching a ton and people are progressing well. Here is the Church News Article that they wrote.  My companion and I are in it.  The couple that wr...

Week # 23 - The Voice of the Spirit

Thanks to Elder Thornton - We have Pictures of CJ and the Nacala Squad!! (It took over 12 hrs for his family to receive these pictures!)   Well, the internet stinks and is not that great!  Still very slow and still no photos. This week has been lots of lessons and tons of walking. My feet have tons of blisters on them, and now my shoes are getting holes in the sides because of how much we walk.  I have been way tired and I am always hungry, but it’s been good.  I’m picking up on understanding the language, but still very difficult for me.  Please keep me in your prayers. Thanks for all the pictures and advice I love every one of them.  I’m trying to offer lots more prayers.  It has definitely helped.  I haven’t done a prayer silent or out loud in english since the MTC, so I hope they are still sincere and God knows I’m giving my all. About Nacala The Nacala Squad (4 Elders) is sweet!  The four of us get along so well...
