Entebbe is doing good. It is actually raining here now and I had to run through some rain to get here and there was a lot of it too. I was even without the rain jacket. So that was really fun. I really like Entebbe the Ward is wonderful and so are the people. The week went pretty good we were focused on finding the recent converts that are lost and we have no clue who they are and also we are trying to get people to want to come to church it isn't very easy to get people to commit to do anything here. Today for Prep day we don't have much planned but it will be fun maybe we will make a cake or some burritos or something. Speaking of food Mom can you send me your recipe for cookies and for brownies if you could also frosting. That would be wonderful :) I really am loving it out here the people are great and one thing I also got to do was go on exchanges and I got to see what the other side of Entebbe was like with Elder Munkondya so that was pretty fun and interesting they have some pretty good prospects. It was also nice to see how he taught so I could learn from him. He is from Zambia and has almost been on mission for 6 months and the same is for Elder Seabolt so we are a young district. We are doing good though and working hard. I had an experience last week where I lost my wallet so my companion and I prayed so we could find it and I found it a few moments later and I lost it a few days back and had been praying to find it myself and I couldn't find it. So it just adds testimony to the more people you have in the prayer the more effective it can be. I feel so blessed for answered prayers what a blessing. The Zone Leaders came this Saturday to interview Evelyn who was going to be baptized Sunday and she ended up being ready to be baptized and she wants me to baptize her so this will be my second baptism. Now we need to get her to endure and not become a lost sheep. It makes it hard on other missionaries when tnew members aren't taught to endure to the end because Elder Cook and I have a lot of work trying to find 40 some recent converts who just disappear ed. I know we can find them through prayer and that we will also find those ready for baptism. We also had about 6 investigators at church which is good and most of them seem interested lets hope they stay interested and continue to want to follow the path our Savior set for us. I know that the Lord will bless us for our obedience to him and as long as we are obedient we are more likely to receive the blessing that he will give us.
I know that this is the Church of Jesus Christ and that it has been restored back to its original form when Christ was on the Earth and how great is it to have a Prophet like Joesph Smith that was able to endure all those hardships to make sure this work continued to move on. What a great blessing is it to serve a mission? it is way great and even to bring one soul to the eyes of God will bring us much joy! I know that I am here to bring people to follow our Savior Jesus Christ and that we should all strive our best to serve him to what we are capable. I have seen what a great example of what we should be doing at home and to help the missionaries. The people here are usually willing to help the missionaries when they ask which is great so will I. I know that always being a missionary is super important.
I am so grateful to the family I have and that they have helped me so much to become the person I am and even that you guys continue to encourage me and help me out! I am so thankful and I have much more to thank you guys for. I love you all. Thanks Mom for your Emails they are amazing and I am so grateful that you always write me and help me I love you.
I love all of you.
Love Elder Hildreth
