Hey
I am doing great this week. Just enjoying missionary life. It has been an awesome experience. So I'll first tell you guys about this Sunday we were blessed to have fifteen investigators at sacrament. Out of those fifteen we have had two families we are teaching. Both wanting to be baptized. So that was awesome John Mark and his family are truly awesome and have really been enjoying having us over and he came to me yesterday saying I want to be a member of this church and it was so cool to hear that from him because just a few days ago we taught them and he wasn't because he didn't know if the Book of Mormon was true so we gave him some things to read and he came to church saying he knew it was true and that he wanted him and his family to be baptized. So that was awesome they are a Congolese family. There are actually tons of Congolese here in Uganda right now. So its pretty crazy. They are ready for the gospel though and they have enjoyed it so far. Also David and Cathy were able to come to church with a friend and David sacrificed a ton to be able to make it to church and they did and it was so awesome to see them there! They have been taking lessons for awhile, but they finally came and they enjoyed it very much and the bishop was very excited to see them. We also had four Congolese come they were young and are refugees from Congo and they said they were led by the spirit to come to this church so we taught them and they were so powerful they even came to church, but now have been kicked out of the country and have to go to a refugees place, so we left them with a Book of Mormon to read and told them to wait for the church to get there. I sure hope those guys will be able to join they are super nice and have great potential. Also Cornellious finally received the gift of the Holy Ghost which was good. So working with the ward has been great and there is definitely an excitement for missionary work in retaining those who were lost and finding families. They are ready to help the missionaries so its going to be awesome! Obudu got lost as he was coming to church so that was sad, but he will come once again next week I am sure. Daniel, a recent convert brought us his brother who is now interested in the gospel and Cornellious brought a friend also so things are going well and even Robert talked with Bishop with his wife there so they can be married. I was also able to see the wedding of one of the friends I have made here his name is Tadio and he got married and so I got to witness that and it was pretty fun to see and even Bishop Kyama and his wife gave a powerful speech. So things are going great so far. The weather is warm it is dry season now and we are headed into the hottest part of the year so that will be fun. It is pretty different lots of houses and nice places and there are some pretty crazy houses of course it is a really nice area though and we have an American store here that I just found so that was interesting ha. It is a nice place I haven't taken many pictures, but i'll do better at that. It's been a great experience so far and I love it here and the time continues to fly by. This week Elder Reunland of the Seventy comes to come speak to the missionaries so that will be good I am excited for that and for the work to continue to go forth. I am glad that you guys traveled safely to Utah and back and I am glad all is going well with the family. Thank you guys for all you do and I love you all so much and hope you guys continue to be safe and well. Love you all lots
Love Elder Hildreth
