This week has gone by super fast!! But I have just found that is part

of mission life. It is just going by so fast. Transfers are coming up

soon and I feel like I am going to be moving to a new place. I am

almost done training Elder Kiggundu. He is becoming a great

missionary!! He knows a lot! I am really proud of him. :)

As for me this week, has gone well. :) we have been trying to work

more with members because that is a problem here. We need strong

branches to take investigators too, so first we need to make the

branches strong. So that is really what we have been working on. We

saw a lot of members this week. That took a lot of peddling on my good

old iron horse. But it was worth it. We have found that over half of

the members in this area are inactive. So we are working hard to fix

what we can. And it is going well! I now have a stronger testimony of

the organization of the Church and how every calling is really a VERY

important thing. If one person does not do their job then a lot of

people can go down a wrong path. But you can see when people really

love each other and try to help them by doing their calling,

everything works out the way the Lord plans it.

I am doing great as always!! I am still fighting the fungus but I
think I am winning :) and the sandals really help!!! I wear
them everyday!! So my feet don’t burn up in the crazy hot sun here!! :)
And your right missionary work is hard, or it should be!!! I was
talking to one of the bogus missionaries who said that the work is so
easy that it is not hard for him anymore (this guy had been out like 3
months) and I told him that if its not hard then your doing it wrong!!
He didn’t listen, but he is working still but I'm sad because if he
thinks like that he won’t get as much out of his mission. But, oh well.
By the way he is the same kid that crashed on his bike.
I need to say THANK YOU
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are so amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really am looking forward to the iPod and the sauces :) I really
just kind of asking for a lot of the sauce. You can also tuck in anything
that will make food better! AKA: more sauce's or things like that into it. :)

You are going to have a great time at the temple open house! And I too am looking forward to conference. But I will get it a lot later than you guys… lol…. it takes time here.
Logan good job working on the eagle! But also remember the lesson is
not in the prize. The reward is in the road that you walked down to
get it! And ya we could make some teaching aids. What we do is we just
draw things in the dirt. It works well here :) but they do help :)
Parker. Not going to lie man, I hated getting home work over the
brakes too. But I know that you are smarter than I was, so you will do a better job in doing your home work :) then you can have as much fun as you can :)
 Libby: I am looking forward to hearing you play the violin :) I bet
your really good :) and you need to stop growing until I get home! Then you can grow all you want!! :) lol  KC: I’m going to have to see your super cool tricks when I get home! I
can’t wait to see you out on the floor winning the gold meddle at the Olympics :)
 keep strong :)
