Well we had a really nice week. We were able to get some good
referrals and also we were finally able to get some members to allow
us to serve them. They seem to feel that we are not capable of
serving or that they wouldn't be good hosts or something. But we
helped a less-active family with there washing of furniture covers.
Then we helped our branch president to move some things out of his
computer business. JJ and Sam (Lameck's friend) are on track to be
baptized on the 17th, as well as the children of the sister who
married our branch clerk, Brother Phiri (the h is silent). His wife
will get baptized but wants to give it a little more time. We also
could possibly baptized the son of a recent convert name Brother
Kalonga. His son is only 8 but he has been coming the last two weeks
then he told me that he wants us to come and teach him. When I taught
JJ yesterday after church with a branch missionary we were teaching
about the word of wisdom and he told us that he had already quit
drinking and smoking because he wasn't ever happy and that he felt
like he was just wasting his money. Again I say that he has been
prepared for the gospel. But anyway we just had a really nice week.
Oh and we did find a few new people in Mandevu so we will see how that
works out. My companion is great I really enjoy being around him. He
has been more talkative this week which was strange but good. The
reason he doesn't really like bikes is because he just learned how to
ride them on when he cam on mission so he is still really
uncomfortable on it. Especially bacause of the road conditions.
I received the package you sent me on Saturday. The ties are
powerful, thank you. Also the oreos are still cookies so that is
great. I really appreciate the support. Collin emailed me telling me
that he got his letter. He said that he found a family that drives
him to church that is 40 minutes away each week. So he sounds happy.
I think that he is starting to get used to being away from home. I
found it funny that everyone in their emails told me that Chris
actually won the last hand of cards. Congratulations, Chris! Now do
it again so that I know that is wasn't jsut a coincidence. Mom
Zambeef is kind of like a butchery/grocery store but has limited
groceries. We get our meat there. I haven't heard about that guy
though. Dad a mzungu is a white guy sorry I thought I had told you.
Well we don't really see that many mzungu's besides missionaries but
most of the time when we see them they are like shopping so they
aren't paying attention. We are going to a game park today called
Mundawanga so hopefully that will be fun and then we will go back to
the Lusaka Chapel and have a braai and sports. Well I will give you
more information next week we are kind of in a rush. Much love. Oh
and in case I forgot last week, Happy Birthday Padre!
Love,
Elder Cecil
