Happy Birthday Mom!!! What is it now, 29?
Funny story, I meant to write a p.s. last week saying that the baboon thing was a joke. Sorry, I hope that you haven't told too many people.
Yeah we are really excited for Christmas. On Christmas Eve we are going to a children's home to play with them and to sing to them, maybe even give them a few toys to play with. I can't wait of that. It will be fun.
That is really sad about Julie. I can't believe it. She will be missed. She was a great lady.
That's good to hear that you got the power in Milford Dad. Don't worry things will work out.
"...let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith..."
-Hebrews 12:1-2
I found this scripture while studying, I hope it helps.
Alice's baptism was powerful. It was amazing. I couldn't stop smiling. I tried to send some pictures but the download keeps failing. I'll try again next week.
We know have 24 baptism dates set. There are a few that we aren't seeing a lot of progress with so we might have to drop them. But most of them are progressing really well. We have had 12 investigators at Church each of the last two weeks, but it break my heart when the rest don't show up. Our lessons just keep getting better as I have been getting more comfortable teaching. We now teach with very good unity. Things just seem to flow much more smoothly now.
The time is flying by, I can't believe that half of the transfer is already over. It is crazy. We are going to figure out what to do with that money that the man gave me today. So I will have to tell you on Saturday. We do know that we are going to buy a few things for a family that feeds us a lot, the Makuneys. One of them is turning in his papers today, on his birthday, so we are going to get him something to help.
It's funny, as we ride around all of the little kids start yelling, "Marungu, marungu." It means "white man" in Shona. I think that for many of them it is the first time seeing a white person. I have only seen two other white people besides the missionaries. So we were right that the 1% of whites in the country are missionaries.
The power company is called ZESA. Zimbabwe Electricity Scarcely Available. At least that is what we think the acronym means.
Talk to you Saturday.
Love,
Elder Cecil
