Week #70 Natal Chegou Cedo (Christmas Arrived Early)


Tuesday- Got an emergency call from President Senna.  Had to do divisions with some missionaries all day. There has been lots and lots of rain today, but some great work! These missionaries were having some problems in the area. 

Wednesday- Woke up at 4 am to take these Elders to the airport because of the problems happening. Afterward we switched out for our new car!! ( photo )  Maputo received automatics, but we still have stick shift - getting pretty good at driving one now!

Thursday-Worked in our area and held interviews. Did an interview for a family of 15! it was incredible and they were all baptized this Saturday. But other than that it was a normal day of great work.  It was a way long day, but we dropped 3 baptismal dates with Dinnho and Palmeira and Joao for the 11th of January so we are getting really excited for them.

Friday- Our scheduled baptism with Ancha is leaving for Tete today and isn't returning so it was kinda sad to say our goodbyes after working with her for so long but, she'll do great and get baptized in Tete.

Saturday- Had to do some work with the zone dropping of things and taking pictures of the houses for the office.  We did that until about 2 then had the ward party.  It was so good.  We watched lots of talents and at night we ate with George, a worker for the church living here.

Sunday- Church it was great! Learned about the birth of Christ and afterward went home took a nap, and went back to work in the area and taught our English class.
This next week we have 6 batismos ready so we were just getting them prepared for their interview, Tuesday on Christmas Eve!  

 This is the best time of the year to celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ!  I'm so thankful to be serving the Lord and the people of Mozambique at this time of year. I love you all and Feliz Natal!!!!

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...
