Well I am still in Lilongwe like I thought but I am not training like
I thought. There were only 4 new missionaries in the mission and all
of them are still in Zimbabwe. My new companion is named Elder Gonza.
He is from Bulowayo in Zimbabwe. So har he seems powerful. He was
serving in Zambia before. Elder Maxfield went to Bulowayo so Elder
Mahachi's new companion is Elder Barlow. He is crazy, like really
funny kind of crazy, not the psycho kind. You should hear people here
try to say his name, it is hilarious. There was a lot of changes this
transfer to get ready for the split. We now have two sets of AP's.
One in Zim and one in Zam. Elder Clark my baboon buddy is now an AP
in Zim. My old area in Chitown, Seke, doesn't even have missionaries
right now. I think that it will again soon but there is just a lot of
people working with branch and ward missionaries, like Elder Sefatsa
for example who is now in his 5th transfer in glenview (He has been
there since I came on mission.) is working with a ward missionary.
Ruth was baptized on Saturday and confirmed yesterday. I was really
happy for her because I know how difficult it was for her to even be
allowed to be baptized let alone to be ready to be baptized. This week
has been really hectic with all of the transfers and other things so
we really haven't even had much of a chance to go out and work. Which
I'm sure contributed to us not having any investigators at church.
But we do have like 4 powerful investigators right now. One is named
George, he is a referral from a recent convert named Robert (I really
like Robert a lot, every time that we see him my day just gets a lot
better.) he was a church last week but since we never got to see him
this week he wasn't at church. There are three other guys that are
all friends. Richard, Moses, and Rafiki (the spelling is probably
wrong here but it is pronounced like the baboon on the Lion King.).
They were at church last week as well but again we didn't get a chance
to see them this week. Brave had to go to a funeral last week so that
is why he wasn't there. But he was there again yesterday. His
brother, Bright, wasn't there again but I didn't get a chance to ask
Brave about him because I had to leave early to go pick up the other
elders at the airport with Elder Mahachi. I shouldn't have said
bigger city but more industrialized and it has more branches. It is
actually a district now. We are still under the mission here in
Lilongwe.
That is cool that Chase was able to get the record finally, I'm sure
that he was happy about that. Tell him congratulations for me. I
figured that the track team would probably win region, that is normal.
I hope they do well at state. I will say that the baseball team did
a lot better than I expected them to this year. But man Enterprise
won the State Championship, things must have been hard everwhere in
the state. I'm glad to hear that the Braves are doing well and that
Chipper is playing. I just had this thought that it must be weird to
not have Bobby Cox on the bench. It is also nice to see that the Red
Sox swept the Yankees. That always brightens my day. Anyway that was
my week. I love you all.
Love,
Elder Cecil
