How are things? Well this past week kind of had ups and downs. We
only got to work for three days. My companion spent two of them with
a stomach running faster than it had strength. And the other day we
missed was Thursday with the meeting with Brother Tracy Watson. That
was really cool. He talked about how every thing we teach and do in
the Church goes back to Faith, Repentance, Baptism, the Holy Ghost,
and Enduring to the End. It made total sense. All of the
commandments and the history of the Church can be traced back to The
Gospel of Jesus Christ. He also spent a lot of time teaching us about
finding people. The way we contact was a big focus. We have already
seen some things change as we have talked to people, it has given us
more opportunities to teach them. We have gotten appointments set
with quite a few people this week. I am looking forward to finally
having a week without interruptions. Oh and I also found out that
Brother Watson was David Williamson's Mission President. As a
district leader I have to prepare trainings for district meetings on
Tuesdays. I have to report with all of the companionships in the
district on how they felt their week went and what they can improve
on. I also conduct baptism interviews for the missionaries in my
district as well as for the zone leaders. I have conducted one
interview before when I was in Lilongwe because Elder Gonza was at a
leadership training in Blantyre. We haven't seen or heard from Felix
at all. We did find out where JJ went though. He was in Ndola in the
Copperbelt. But we haven't seen him yet because he never came to
Church. Right now our most promising investigators are the
grandchildren of a sister in the branch named Sister Zulu. That mom
is so powerful. She is such a funny lady. The names are Andelina
(yes that is spelled correctly) Chilemo, and Audrey Shachingandu.
They are both around 16-18. I hope that things will work out with the
people that we contacted that last few days we really are running low
on people to teach. My district only has Elder Inzabula and his
branch missionary in it but when we have meetings one of our Zone
Leaders and his companion will be there.
That is too bad that the LSU and Bama game was boring. I guess that
all of the conference changes has been more fun to watch than some of
the games. An African suit is not like a suit you where to church. I
think that I have a picture of a missionary in one in the pictures
that I sent you with Elder Roberts. If I remember right he is sitting
in a chair. That is crazy about all the stuff about Mitt Romney. I
wish that things like that didn't happen. Friday is my one year mark.
It really hasn't felt like a sacrifice. The whole time has been more
like a dream to me. It is weird I feel like my lifeat home was just
put on hold. Well that is all I can think of right now.
Love,
Elder Cecil
