This week has been somewhat normal compared to last week. Elder Musarurwa is getting better fast, he is on his feet and walking around so we took him to the easy parts of the area so he could walk but this week went well :)
Ya I have to say that even I would like to see the looks on our faces when we saw the water. I am glad that I am getting some good stories. :)
As for me I'm alive and very very well :) working hard! and the new guy Elder Kiggundu (my comp) and me are really starting to click. :) We are working hard trying to help the branches. We are looking at having some baptisms soon but still most of our work is working with the members to help them become true latter-day saints. We have run into a lot of problems, Satan is really trying hard to stop the work here. We have run into branch presidents stealing church money, using tithing to by the town alcohol, and even bring ladies into the church to brake the laws of God. So Satan knows what this place can become and he is using all he can to stop it from becoming the powerful place it can be, but the work is moving forward.
As for the bike and how far we go. It depends on where we go but I would have to say that we go about 5 to even 15 miles a day, now of course I am counting there and back. so don’t think we are going to far out there but every push is worth it. Even if its up hill and let me tell you on a big heavy bike that only has one gear going up hill SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!! but it’s all for the Lord. :)
So the basement is coming along. :) that’s great! I bet it looks good. especially if you are still watching the home improvement network on TV :)
So not much snow? that’s sad but I am glad you are enjoying it! :) and thank you for enjoying it for me too :) I also hope that the other package gets here soon so I can use the stuff in there :) but thank you for what I have gotten so far. :)
Thank you so much mom sorry the email is short today but know that I love you!!!! I remember all of the times that I would come home from school and we would watch Opra and Ellen and all of those fun shows, those were good times that I will always remember!
I bet these trainings are amazing to go to!!! The PMG is amazing to me! I wish that I
knew what was inside before I came it is something that I will study my whole life and I will always learn from it! It really is amazing! You ask how you can fit in with these people!!!?? You might call them spiritual giants but there is something I want you to know dad, that is you stand as tall as they do. I know you do fit in. I know that I have always looked up to you and how strong you are! God has placed you among the Giants because you are also a Giant.
DAD I can look back a little bit of my life and you have always been there for me :) you have always helped me and there are no words that can thank you enough. I remember the days that we would go out to lunch together. :) those are special to me and I will always treasure those times.
So to answer your questions, I am doing GREAT! There are some good days and some bad with my comp and all but we can always keep going, so I am doing great! :)
I do love the people!! :) It is impossible to not fall in love with people you teach like this. I never thought it would be this easy to love them. When you see them as a child of God and you want for them what God wants, all you can feel is love for them :) it’s amazing!!!!
There are many people that do understand me but then at the same time there are many that don’t understand. They say my English is "deep" but I know that if they know English they can understand if they try but that is a problem sometimes. A scriptorian? what I can tell you is this… that I have found a deep and very strong love for the scriptures. I know that they talk to me and that they are the words that God wants me to know and have. I study them every day I always wish that study time would be longer. but I don’t know if I can call myself a scriptorian. I don’t know enough. I have only taken one cup out of the ocean of learning that is found in the scriptures, but all I can do is keep drinking.
I really love you all!!
Elder T. Hodges
