CRAZY TO THINK ITS ALREADY FEBRUARY!

Well the Christ-like attribute for the month is Charity and Love and

from day one the lord started testing me...wow this is gonna be an

interesting month haha but i have received some council from the lord

in my P.B. that i need to develop charity and i have been told how

just need to put it into practice but ya gonna be saying lots of

prayers this month trying to develop that love of the savior. Had a

few experiences that really tested my love for my fellow men already.(

i know its a strong word but i can say "persecution" in a degree) But

my companion Elder Sinayobye is doing well, learning lots on his first

3 months of mission haha if the pattern continues after im done

training in 4 weeks ill get transferred on March 5th. and be in my 3rd

area and if i stay there for 6 months again i might only have 4- 6

month areas on my mission, crazy! but things are good we had a great

week this week, lots of fasting and LOTS of prayer paid off had 8

investigators at church found 5 new people to teach and a couple

potential families and things are just going great after the

trials/storms comes the blue skies :) loving mission and all the

people and experiences sorry i dont tell you more about it, so much to

tell and not a lot of time on mondays haha, but we have started

implementing an idea we were thinking about for a while- Family Home

Evening groups- because lots of people dont know how to do it or are

not motivated to do it on their own so we have started grouping

families that live close in the same section and started organizing

them, hopefully this can be something that stays around for a while

and will do some good for the familes here. ITs really so different

here in Africa traditions and culture make living church/gospel

standards very difficult for people especially youth who a lot of the

time are on their own in the church. We just keep trying to help

establish the church and build peoples faith in the lord and savior

Jesus Christ! :) Hope all is going well with you all and that the lord

is watching over and protecting you :)

LOTS OF LOVE
