Merry
Christmas!!!
Well it really doesn’t feel much like
Christmas when it is super hot, but Christmases on a mission are awesome! You
are focused on your purpose and on Jesus Chrust all the time. I have never had
a December go by so fast in my life and I probably never will again.
This week was super nice. My new companion,
Elder Jarvis, is awesome. We worked super hard and were able to find 3 new
families to teach. We also helped Abreu get some of his other
documents
for marriage. They want to get married and baptized February 8th. As a family
they have already almost finished the entire Book of Mormon. They are already
halfway through Mormon. And did I tell you one of their daughters is named
Beyonce! Super nice. They are progressing super well.
Also this week we talked to Andre and
Maria about baptizing their other son, Stenho. When we baptized them they
wanted to wait for him to be baptized because he has to go out and live by
himself at school in a super small town outside of Matola until he can transfer
to a closer school. But he is only going to be gone for like a month in February
so we are going to baptize him next week. This week we taught a law of chastity
lesson to a couple who had a bunch of doubts and Andre and Maria came with us.
One of the best lessons I have been in on my mission! Having members who have
sacrificed, repented and changed bare their testimony invites the spirit so
much into lessons and our recent converts love teaching so its a win win win
situation.
Yesterday we watched the first presidency Christmas devotional and after that all
of us missionaries here in Matola and the Kretlys did a small Christmas
presentation with songs and narration for all the members. Tomorrow we
have zone conference and I will call home Wednesday.

Elder Bigelow
