Hey,
I am doing wonderful it has been another wonderful week. 

That picture of the food I sent last week came from an Ethiopian restaurant and it is pretty good. The reactivation project is going great we had it after we had the wedding for Robert and Scovia which went really well. We got them a cake and they had a good humble wedding. The book "Rawanda" that Grandpa and Grandma Nelson gave me before my mission is like a lot of the stories here in Uganda there are a lot of interesting stories from here. 

My new companion is awesome and I have learned many great things from him already and yeah I am still the District Leader so that is fun and the District is doing awesome we as a District this Sunday had eight baptisms. 
Elder Rennie and Elder Kasue had 4 and we had 4.  There was Fred a guy from Burundi and Oscar who is from Congo, Jude who is Ugandan and really needed this change in his life and you could totally see how different he felt after his baptism, and last Allen who is Daniel's cousin Daniel is a member) Allen was very interested and they are all so great and were so prepared. 
Oscar has a wife who now wants to be baptized and Fred has a family of 4 and his wife who now want to be baptized also, so it was a great day yesterday. Plus we had a family John Mark the father Ntasha the mother, Ammy the daughter, and Amet the son and they are such an awesome family They were so excited to be baptized.
 I was the one they wanted to baptize them and I have a funny story about John Mark I had to do it three times because he wasnt completely down the first time and the second time he comes up he is like "powerful" and then he found out he had to do it again it made some others laugh. So that was a good experience they all told me they felt so pure and clean after and it was just an awesome experience. 
So the reactivation project that's going on is going great we had 119 people at sacrament actually more probably and it was just super awesome we had 12 people come to church and some more after sacrament meeting. So it was a great week and it continues to look up. As our District theme is "A perfect Brightness of Hope" As we continue to seek the Lord and do our part the Lord will do his. So all is going well the only thing that is the problem is that we don't have much space for all those people so we are hoping and praying that they can receive a chapel so they can fit everyone. Well thanks very much for the update it was awesome.
  I love you guys very much and I am grateful for all you do and continue to do for me I love you all and miss you.
Love Elder Hildreth
