So Monday was fun, we went to a park for a barbecue with the zone for our last p day all together. It was super fun, and it was amazing weather! We had some hot dogs and played all the sports you could at this park. Soccer, football, basketball, tennis! It was a good time!
Tuesday we pretty much had to spend a good portion of the day cleaning and packing, but we were able to teach a lesson to a new family! Some of them speak French, some speak Swahilli, and most of them understand English. They are from Uganda, and they have already been to church 2 times! They let us in to teach them finally and we had a translator, one of the siblings help us teach. So that was pretty cool!
Wednesday we had transfers. So that consisted of driving people to the church, waiting for my new companion for a loooooooonnng time, and then driving back home to help him unpack. We had a really good lesson with our man Steve, and he said his whole family wants to start coming to church! Then we had soccer and dinner and it was rally good!
Thursday we had weekly planning and figuring out what we were going to do for this transfer. So that took us a good while, and then we had some time to go out and do missionary work. So we stopped by a couple of people we have met in the last little while and it was dead. Nobody answered the door, so that's annoying, but life happens.
Friday we met with the refugee family again, and this time we brought a member who speaks French! It was really cool to see how much help that was. For the family members that understood French, they got so much more out of it, it was awesome. They said they would come to church this week so that was super cool, and we are really excited for them!
Saturday was my birthday, so you already know it was a party! We woke up a little early so we could get some good soccer in, and then we went on ahead and had a pretty normal day of work. There were a couple appointments in the morning and they fell through, and so that was lame. But then we had our studies and lunch! Then we did a little bit of finding, a member of the ward suggested that we knock the doors on their street because someone had just passed away. Hopefully we were able to do some good while being there, but not a ton of people were home. Then we had a dinner, and they had cake so that was nice of them! And we had calls and that was the night, then we got surprised with a pizza delivery thanks mom (;
Sunday was great! Sadly Steve wasn't able to make it because he had to go to work, hopefully next week. But the family of refugees were all able to come! They seem to really enjoy church and all the people that they have met love them! It is really cool, so hopefully they can keep coming and learning! We planned our zone conference training, had a bomb lasagna dinner from a member. Oh, we had to go up and give short talks today! One of the members bailed so we were the last minute call up. There were 4 of us that went up there so it wasn't too bad, but it was fun to get up and share my testimony with the ward.
IT'S EASTER NEXT WEEK! THIS WAS THE LAST WEEK OF CHRIST'S MORTAL LIFE. Try this week to remember Him for something a little more than you do most weeks. Commit to follow Him in a new, better way. It will change your week. Love you all, Happy Easter!
