yep. i said it.
heloo friends! this week went by fast. i don't know what to
say! whatever comes to mind in scatterbraind order ready go
so we went exploring to try and get to know our area better
cuz there's no maps of all the bush roads so we went exploring. we found the
dump! if anyone who reads this who is in waste management, they need you help
here. like. i dunno know to describe it. there's just. a gate. everything on
the other side is legal and designated place to dump stuff. but it's not a land
fill. it's just lil mountains of plastic and metal. and like one of the daily
activities for people here is to sift through the new stuff that arrives
basically hourly for food for pigs and for anything useful. i don't know how i
feel about it. just a different way of life i guess.
while exploring we found a ton of people! and got lost but
people here are nice and directed us back to the road. side note. lost
missionary is a great conversation opener for finding efforts.
something kinda humorous but awesome that has happened
multiple times this week. we go to a return appointment for a couple people.
all family but like. extended family. kindred. i dunno how to describe it. so
then one or two out of the couple people we had previously met are there. sit
down and start a lesson/message/story whatever you wanna call it. and then mid
story. other people just. come and sit down. but not directly infront of us but
like. out to the side or behind us or in the kitchen close by. and so we like.
face the people we originally had a appointment to but then dude off to the
side asks a question. it's just. so great but so hard to manage/direct the
lesson... so yeah!
we had a baptism this week! a progressing investigator from
the time of the previous missionaries. such a great mama. so passionate about
the truthfulness of the gospel. we're probably gonna start to teach her
daughter and/ or her neighbor. w00t.
stake conference is coming up! area seventy coming probably!
some more people on baptism date for this month! busy!
another thing kinda funny is that the mama's in our ward.
our ward is split in two cuz it's a geographically huge area and we couldn't
possibly handle the whole thing. so we made two separate dinner
feed-the-missionaries-if-you-want calendars which im pretty sure has never been
done before. anywho. the calendars are posted up at the church and one mama
signed up and immediately bragged about it to everyone. and then some more
people signed up. heheh people are the best.
also our solar got fixed! so our fridge works! and our
washer! and we don't have to use candles anymore! huzzah!
that's all for now.
