These
week was a vacation for me! I don't mean that in an Apostate Missionary way,
but I will explain what I mean...
So
the week started out like any other week. Monday and Tuesday rolled by, and
Wednesday afternoon I got a call from Elder Larsen telling me that we would
need to go back to Mozambique the NEXT DAY to renew some documents! So we got
everything ready, and Elder Larsen, Elder Nunes, Elder Payne and I all headed
out for Mozambique on Thursday morning at 5 in the morning! We had a road trip
with all the BOYZ back together, we got there, did some documents, then we had
all day to do whatever we wanted. So Elder Larsen and I went on a date and
skipped down Memory lane. We went to lunch together, ate ice cream, and then we
went to walk in our old areas in Maputo to visit our recent converts and our
old families. We first walked in Magoanine for Elder Larsen, then we went to
T-3! I can't tell you guys how happy I was! I spent all of my time at Jose and Felicidade's
house visiting with them! The whole family was home! Including 2 new additions
to their family! Apparently Felicidade became pregnant shortly after I left
T-3, and gave birth to two twin boys 2 weeks ago! Crazy! After I left T-3,
Marcos and his 4 kids were all baptized, so was Joaquim- the Son of Jose and
Felicidade. I was also able to call Elder Parker in Mascarenha and found out
that Bile and his wife were married and his wife, daughter and son were all
baptized! Also, Joaquim (that 11 year old boy that we baptized) we had been
teaching 5 of his friends and they were all baptized! Also, there were 2 other
baptisms of people I had helped find there in Mascarenha, and Lorenzo and
Amelia will be having their wedding in a couple of weeks and will be baptized!
Whoo hoo! That made me so happy to hear! That all of our hard work there in
Mascarenha finally has paid off! That trip made me so happy!
We
came back late Friday night, and I miss Mozambique so much. I love Swaziland,
but I miss Mozambique...
We
also had a service project on Saturday with the Martins. We cleaned the Yard of
Easter and Zelda! Their wedding date is the 27 of August! Whoo hoo! I am so
excited for them! They are finally progressing very well!
Well,
I'm out of time! I love you all!
