Hey
  My new area is doing great and I am getting to know it well and I have really liked this area it is very hilly though always seems like I'm walking uphills and I like it. I really don't know my address people don't really use addresses so I'll try to hopefully find out next time because it isn't easy to find out. So it has been a great week for me still learning the area the people the recent converts it has definitely been a great experience. It's been pretty crazy sometimes, we definitely have a lot of finding the lost sheep to do. We had an unexpected family come this Sunday which was really great we visited them last week and they seemed fairly interested and this week they came and enjoyed it so we hope to continue to visit them and see them at church they are refugees from Congo there are actually a lot of them here in Uganda right now. David and Cathy didn't come which was sad, but I know that they will. We also have like three wives waiting to be baptized right now, but cant because they aren't married to their husbands and their husbands aren't married and we have been trying to get them to talk to Bishop, but the husbands haven't which has been a struggle, but all is going good. This week went by super fast as we have tried finding those that are ready for this gospel and it has been a good experience in general. I love the missionary work it has been such a blessing to me in my life to grow and learn from the leaders here and from those that I teach. I am grateful for the spirit that guides us and directs us where to go. Thanks so much for all your emails they have been wonderful. I love the the talk you gave to me about the oil and I will use it in my district to help it grow. I am grateful for the family that I have been put in and that you guys are always willing to help me and strengthen me and email me. It has been such a blessing to me. I love you guys and am thankful for all you do hope you have an awesome week. I know I will being here serving the Lord!
