Week 17

Monday
 Today was a good day we had sports day and we played soccer and to be honest im getting tired of soccer so maybe next sports day we can play something else but the reason we play so much soccer is because there are so many African elders and thats all they want to do all the time. We then went into Jinja Town and had tons of fun there, then came back to the church and had our 2 appts and they both went really well. I love doing the Lords work and bringing people closer to the truth each and everyday it is the best and so the work is the best no matter what happens because it is the Lords work.

Tuesday
 Today was tiring we did a lot of walking because we had service and such for service we went and planted cactus for Jaja Kuba because of the trouble she has been having with cattle breaking through her fence and eating her garden. Today was good we spent the entire day in Walukuba West and teaching people and so im tired but i know that i will sleep well tonight because of that. Also im hand washing right now because our washer's plug burnt out so we are waiting for Godfrey the main guy here in the mission to come fix so hopefully he will come soon and fix hand washing is not fun at all.

Wednesday
 Today was a good day slow but good. We had DDM  and had lots of lessons today which was good. I met my first Jehovah Witness today and he said that he had some complex questions for us so we will see if he shows up on Saturday im kinda exicted for it but also i dont want to get bible bashed the whole lesson so we will see how it goes.

Thursday
  Today was a good day overall we finished planting the cactus for Jaja Kuba. We came back and got ready hoping that Godfrey would be able to come and as we were finishing up a lesson we got a call from Godfrey saying he was here and waiting for us to come and open our apartment for him so we flew back to help him get inside we turned a 30 min walk into a 15 min walk including getting stopped by Salvation Army people who were asking some pretty dumb questions about us like if we have jobs or not. Also we got a referral today which was really nice to get one instead of giving them out to other elders.

Friday
 Today wasnt the best day at all we had a plan for 6 lessons but only ended up having 2 lessons because everyone decided today to bounce us. But today was still good because we cleaned out our area book so lets just say that the elders before us here werent the best at cleaning out the area book we had stuff in there from like 2012 so yea our area book is a lot thinner now. Then Mama G had us over for dinner so that made the day even better i love getting fed on the mission it is the best.

Saturday
 Today was fun we got to clean the chapel which basically we swept and threw water down the hallway so yea that was actually really fun. Then we had a normal day pretty much and we actually played a card game today that is basically Ugandas version of UNO and it is called Matiu and you play it with face cards it is actually really fun im definitely going to play it at home with the family. Also i learned that Lawrence one of my old investigators with Johnson will be baptized on April 1 and he wants me to baptize him so im super excited for that because i was the one who found him and stuff.

Sunday
 So today we were late to church but luckily they hadnt started by the time we got there so that was nice. Also it was Missionary Sunday so we got to do everything in sacrament meeting which is actually really fun to do. So church was nice and we had 3 less-actives there so thats good i guess theat will be our miracle in this miracle of transfers is reactivating less actives which im ok with. Also we learned the they are moving the stake center to Walukuba so that is awesome but they first want Walukuba to become a ward which they are really close to, they need 4 more priesthood holders. Also we went to Mama and Vanessa's today they are a part member family and we played Uno which was actually really fun to do.

Week 14

ADD AUDIOS

Saturday
Today was a good day we had exchanges within the district, so my comp today was Elder Burnham who is from Arizona. I was in charge of the day and it went really well we were busy never had any down time at all. We contacted a lot of people so we will see if anyone is interested in hearing our message. But we had Christmas for missionaries today we got supplies from the Mission Office which is nice because we were running low on everything that we have. Also I got 3 more letters from Grandma and Grandpa Brady which are super nice to just sit down and read at the house and they are from January 30 to February 6  so the ones from earlier in January are lost i guess but that's okay because I'm getting ones now.

Sunday
Today we woke up to rain so that was nice because it was cool just like home, and everyone we saw were bundled up in coats and stuff that we use for winter at home so i guess its cold for them. But it continued to rain even as we went to church and when church started we had 2 people in the congregation but by the end we had 51 people there so that was good. We had some baptisms planned for today but they didn't show up because of the rain so we just ended up pushing them back a week. Also something funny today we saw a random guy wearing a garment top as a shirt and we wanted to blast him, but we felt prompted not too so I guess he will have that on his mind when it comes to judgement day and besides he didn't know so we just let it go and I forgive because of that and I'm sure that Heavenly Father will too.
