Week #69 - This is the Best Mission!

Elder Rees was able to call briefly and he mentioned he wrote a letter, but lost it when the energy dropped.  So this is the brief information CJ relayed:

 1.   The Maputo, Mozambique Mission is the highest baptizing mission in the church for 2019!  
Manga & Beira Zones
 They have increased significantly from when President Senna began serving.  He said that Pres and Sis Senna are incredibly driven and hard working people.

 2.  They had their special Christmas Zone Party and Conference.




  They had fun decorations, really nice food, games, and instead of going to see real animals - they brought in The Lion King movie and watched it in Portuguese!  CJ said he even got some of the jokes!  The missionaries loved the movie!!

 3.  The picture with CJ in the hole.  This is what they have to do to bury garbage.  He likes some of the physical labor.

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...
