Hey Everyone! 10-17-11
Everything is going great in the wonderful city of Entebbe. My new companion is Elder Shinga he is from Zimbabwe and he is one of a kind he has an amazing spirit with him I feel honored to be his companion for the next 3 months, yes you heard me right they are doing this new thing for trainers that when they train they will be with them for two transfers so I will be in Entebbe for awhile. I love Entebbe though so there is no problem with that I am just so glad I can be here for another few transfers. Well we didn't really get much of a chance to work this week because of trainings for the new missionaries and for the trainers and we were gone from our area for three days. When we watched conference it was awesome I felt the spirit so strong as I watched and listened to them. One that was good for me was by Carl B Cook on looking up if you remember that talk, however, all the talks really touched me and at the end I was sad because they were over and I loved the spirit it had brought. On Saturday we didn't have anyone come to conference, but on Sunday we had seven people come and man just by looking at them after conference I could tell they were touched it was so powerful! Even before it began Elder Shinga was talking to a guy we contacted earlier and he said "so how do I become a member of this church?" It took Elder Shinga by surprise because he wasn't used to it. So we told him and even a few others there we talked to about the church and baptism. We have an investigator named John and we have a baptismal date with him and he wasn't so sure about our church at first, but when he listened to conference he knew it was true especially I think after he heard the talk on the Book of Mormon and whether it is good or bad no in between. He also liked hearing from the prophet. I know they felt the spirit I know everyone that was in that room felt it. On Sunday, we had 90 people there to watch the first session once the first session was over a lot of people left except like four of our investigators and a few members. The reason some of our investigators left was because they had to go to work. I am so excited for this week to work with Elder Shinga and I know we will work hard and have fun. He has a wonderful attitude and is such an amazing guy I know we will do good in working together to bring people to Christ and I am excited to do work with him. We have a few families and people to see this week. John for sure being one of them and also all those that came to that conference cant let them go I know they were able to feel the spirit.
I am glad to hear how everyone is doing. I am glad you guys are all doing good and enjoying. I am so grateful for this gospel and how much happiness it brings. I know that this gospel can bring so much happiness, it brings happiness to our spirit which will bring us physical happiness too.As we follow the Lords path for us we will be blessed. I know the Lord loves me and all of his children. I know Jesus Christ died for us and that he paid for our sins, I know he lives and he showed us that we will live again. I want to spread this message with everyone and I know all of us are Gods family and we are brothers and sisters.
I love you all and I miss all you very much. Thanks for Everything!
Love Elder Hildreth
