What's up??
This week we were able to help get Stenho, Andre and Maria’s son, ready for
baptism and he was baptized on Saturday by Andre!! It was awesome! I will have
to send pics next week. We spent most of our p-day table shopping here in Maputo and we still have to
get back to Matola. But also Elder Shumway and Abel, in my district, baptized
and married a family and their neighbor that was contacted in the street in my
area by Elder Ebmeyer, my last companion. Pretty cool! I got to do their baptismal
interviews and they have super strong testimonies.
Today we played ultimate frisbee with a bunch of elders here in Matola and
Stenho and Jr., Andre and Maria's kids,
were able to come. It was a lot of fun. We are really trying to work a lot more
with the members and create more unity between the members and missionaries. We
also found a super cool guy to teach named Joao this week. Married in the
register with no church!!! But there always has to be catch right? - so he
works Sundays right now and his wife doesn't like us …Yet... But he is super
smart and read the restoration pamphlet and asked some of the smartest
questions I have ever heard. Also Samuel (like in Samuel and Maria well anyways)
he got the Melchizedek priesthood this week! Super nice.
In
other news: There is a wall in our house that has a huge hole and rats have
been getting in this week, so our house has been a warzone lately! But it is
being worked on as we speak. Good thing I practiced mouse stomping with David
and Tyler on that old Saint Johns
road! Also we are finally getting a new kitchen table - the last one is super
gross.
Also I
am going on divisions to the zone leader’s house this week. The first time I
will sleep in another house in over 6 months. Kinda pumped. But things are
going great - working on helping an inactive family get married and come back
strong
Love all you guys and if you love me you won't judge my spelling! [Don’t worry, Ryan, Mom edits for you!]
