Week #42 - Please Pray for the People!

This week has been good, nothing crazy has happened.  Just the the normal.  We will have a baptism this week com certeza (for sure).  Ours this week fell through because our person, Tanya, left to Beira.  She will return next month so hopefully she wants to progress to Baptism at that time.  That was hard to see her leave.  We are still working hard every day to make it work to find people and teach the lessons we are supposed to.  

 I need lots of prayers for the people here.  We baptized a lady last week and before we confirmed her in church the following day we caught her drinking at a bar so we were not able to confirm her. This area is very different then Nacala.  Everyone drinks.  So now we have two major issues we are working to help the people understand and follow so they can be blessed.  Thanks for your prayers and thoughts.

My Portuguese is doing so much better.  My companion is great and we speak it exclusively now.  I'm starting to feel pain in the top of my feet.  I have worn out the soles inside and I think it is messing with my feet a bunch.  We are working and doing our best.  
It was a highlight for me to talk to Madison last week.

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...
