Week # 22 - A Powerful Interview!

Image
Elder Grange sent out this picture of the Davis Missionaries!!  CJ Rees, Hayden Grange, Johnny Thornton Hey,  Nacala is crazy and I’ve been loving it!   C ongrats with Kaden going to the temple and with his basketball game! I told him shooting the 3 is the best! We finally have internet, its nice.  It doesn’t work well enough to send you pictures though. Well I don’t know what to say.   This past month has been insane.   It has been really hot here, like all the time.  We got tons of rain this week - that was really nice, but other than that we are just teaching lots of lessons, so that’s fun. Portuguese is hard, but coming along slowly. I’m starting to understand a lot and I feel like I can read a lot better than last month.. but ya I’ve been getting tired really fast, but I’m trying to overcome that. Our first week in Nacala we had 14 people at church ... last week the four of us (Elders; Francom, Thornton, Latu, and I) brough...

Week # 21 - Pres, Senna sent a message

No Communication from Elder Rees again this week:(   Some (more experienced) Missionary Parents reached out to President Senna and then we received this message.  So grateful to hear anything from CJ!!   --------------------------------------------------- Dear brothers,  Elder Rees is well. In the city where they are they have not found an internet to write to you. I asked them to send me a message for you. Pres. Senna - MMM Hey I am doing well. Nacala is sweet. The work is great. The internet is not very good here, that's why I haven't been able to email you all - Élder Rees. Enviado do meu iPhone

This whole week we have just made a ton of contacts and taught lessons.   We set 2 people for baptismal dates and we now have around 8 investigators.  Ya, it’s crazy here teaching the people and to see how open they are and how they love to hear about the gospel.  We teach about 3 lessons a day so not terrible. I try to drink lots of water, but it is harder to find. This whole week we have had no water again. I'm fine. We just go to the store and buy lots of fanta and coke. I am showering from a bucket.  It’s the greatest - jk. I don’t really like it.  It is just Elder Francom & I still up here in Nacala, but today we are planning to pick up Elder Thorton and his companion.  He was the elder that helped translate for me when I first got to the mission home.  He is from Davis High.  He is so cool, I am excited.   The bugs are terrible.  I actually found a cockroach in my bed last night crawling on me haha. I ...
