We are trying to find some of Gods elect

Hey everybody! Everything is going good here in Entebe Uganda. This week was a great week we had many lessons and we are trying to find some of Gods elect. My testimony of prayer keeps getting stronger and stronger one day this week I forgot the day exactly but we got bounced by these two people we were supposed to teach so my companion told me to say a prayer so I did and within a few minuets they showed up. It was great and even the lessons went well. I know that Heavenly Father answers our prayers if we are sincere and ask with real intent. So also one day this week we didn't really know what to do because we were bounced but we felt prompted to go to this house kind of nearby and we found out that there was a less active there and that her younger brother seemed really interested in the church also so that was really cool and a blessing from the Lord. So I think it was last week I found this guy named Fredrick and he is super cool and he came to church with us yesterday and he wants to be baptized which is wonderful and so now we need to teach him a few more things and maybe even he could be baptized next week which would be amazing! There is also this referral we got from actually one of my brothers Elder Bailey if you remember me telling you guys about him well any who they taught
this girl named Evelyn and she is super powerful and is already making friends with the ward members and she also wants to be baptized. She didn't come to church because of work so hopefully she can come next week or we will have to tell her the importance of the eternal matters and how that matters way more than worldly matters.Also this Saturday we did a service project even last Thursday and we do it for Sister Kilama the Bishops wife and what we do is clean the chicken place and last Thursday I only had my church clothes which wasn't good so this Saturday I made sure to bring other clothes so we cleaned the chicken poo and there are like two levels and both are pretty small so its difficult to clean. So we are working really hard and we are also having a fun time while doing it. I am so grateful to be on a mission.
   The houses here well its strange most houses are different I guess some are super small lets say we are in Boyd's room and you take out the closet area and you divide his room in half and that's what some people live in. I don't get to see really anyone's house past their living room so I don't see much of what is inside. Just the living room. Houses here are kinda hard to describe ha so ill just send pictures sometime. Its pretty hot here in Africa but one night I had no blankets so I got pretty cold which is crazy right? Nope I got cold and it was super weird so now I sleep with cover at least. The nights are warm but I think i am getting a little more used to the weather. If there is anything else you want to know ask.
   Thanks so much for the email and I love hearing how everyone is doing and it sounds like everyone is doing wonderful and that's great!  I love you all and I cant wait to hear from you.
   Love Elder Hildreth
