Week #40 - Keeping the Commandments brings Blessings!

I'm much better this week, my head doesn't hurt anymore, so ya tudo bem... estou tudo bem 
This week has just been teaching and finding people.  Elder Jennings got sick on Saturday, so we stayed in the house.  This week the work was pretty tough.  We are teaching people and then they have been drinking.  It's so sad to see people so close and then they just drop it all for one drink or one sin. It breaks my heart and sometimes just makes me frustrated.  We had 4 people on date this week to be baptized and 3 drank this Friday and the other one just didn't come to church.  

We had an awesome zone meeting about goals and we talked a lot about praying for the people to help them to be strong and keep their commitments.  That is something I really need to work on is praying better for our investigators.  Our goal this month ( of June ) is 4 baptisms and its totally possible but we just need to send out more commitments and be more firm with people about keeping the commandments and what blessings will come to them.    

but ya thanks, 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...
