Hi Everyone 6-13-11
I am in Entebe, Uganda right next to Lake Victoria! so that's really sweet! There is a zoo here also that we will probably go check out today! Right now I am emailing you and enjoying that for sure. The branch is amazing the members here are so strong we met the bishop and their counselors this week. Last night we had family night with the Balyjusas and it reminded me of home it was really fun and nice. The flight to Uganda was like 4 hours and it wasnt bad just slept and read my scriptures. The mission president and his wife are super nice and really cool. They were wondering if we knew a Eric Hildreth I think is what they said. My first sunday was great we had i think seven investigators at church and we have only been here four days. Everyone here in Uganda are so nice and they all know Jesus Christ. My companions name is Elder Cook and he is super duper amazing and has taught me so so much. We are working hard all the time and walking pretty much everywhere. Our area is huge! I think our area is bigger than Billings, ha probably not but it seems like it. Ill try to get more pictures of our area today I've just been busy doing the lords work so it's hard to take pictures. So today I will try to take good ones. Thank you guys for all the support. I know the Lord loves us and to tell you the truth I didnt expect to see any investigators at church but the lord blessed us with some investigators which was amazing. We will continue to work hard. So far Uganda is absolutly amazing and its beautiful over here. The apartment is nice and we wash our own clothes. It also seems like my shoes get dirty like the second I walk out the door ha. They are just covered in red when i am home. We eat rice and beans like all the time and bread. I'm too much of a chicken to eat any of the meat. My ipod i had to put in the safe along with my temple recomend drivers license byui card the cash and a few other little things. I will get it all back when I come home. Thank you so much for your emails! I am loving the mission if there is more you want to know i will tell you. The weather is really hot and humid and I'm sweating all of the time. Saturday it rained and it felt so so so nice i love the rain. I have also been trying to learn a little bit of Lugandan I pretty much only know how to greet. The little kids will call me a Muzungu it means white person and there always asking me for money like i have some ha. One day I think it was friday I had a bunch of little African kids following me around giving me high fives it was fun. The missionary work is going good we are trying to contact many people and bring them to Christ everyone here is so willing to listen to our message. I really am loving it here! I miss you guys. Nkwagala nnyo that means I loveyou very much in lugandan. and I love all you guys. How is jesi doing is he coming to church? How is kaden doing?. Also ask the Andrews how kyle is doing. Thank you so much

I forgot to tell you we have some members from the church like Habib who is helping us find referals and people. He is planning on going on a mission soon. He is really cool and sunday there was no water so he kept going back and forth getting water for the church. We also go help from Rodgers Balyjusa who is an RM. Me and my companion are whitewashing an area so we are both new here. So it was great to get the members help. I feel blessed to be here
