Week # 27 - Their Faith is Amazing!

Delmar is being baptized by my Companion, Elder Francom

Life is pretty good here. We have been doing lots of lessons this week, so grateful!  We had a baptism this week which was amazing.  We baptized down by the beach again.  It is a younger man in his early 20's named Delmar.  He felt interest just seeing the church and the missionaries.  He is really cool and has a great testimony of the gospel.   

 I still get tired really easily so thats kinda hard.  We are doing tons of walking still.  This week we had a lesson that was at least 4 miles round trip.  It took forever to get to and it was really late. My shoes are holding up, they will be good.  They are cracking and getting worn, but they have not worn all the way through.  They are still waterproof!  I'm so thankful you got me a nice umbrella, it is way useful, thanks. 

Last week I hit my 6 month mark on the mission.  I can't even believe it.  Something really funny happened.  This week Elder Thornton and I thought we could make a snack and it turned out terrible, haha.  We used sugar, flour , milk, and chocolate powder, haha!  It was a bad idea, but it was way funny when we ate it. 

We are still trying to run at nights.  It's really great with the little area we have to run in.  That's really my week.  Nothing crazy happened.  I did teach primary again that was fun.  I just showed the kids pictures of the family and we talked about the importance of families.  The book that you slipped in my bag before I left was the best thing ever,  I show it to everyone.  I love it, I just wish it had more pictures.  

I hope the Hogans are doing well, been thinking about them a lot.  Also, I have been really praying for people in the family that need prayers.  

I'll still work on calling you cause that would make my week!! Eventually we will be able to talk.  We have had some pretty cool lessons this week teaching lots about the evagelho de Jesus Cristo (the gospel of Jesus Christ). and the first lesson its been real good.    

com amor, Elder Rees

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...
