Hey,
I am doing good and I can't believe it has been another week time is flying by so fast its crazy! It feels like I just got here in Uganda. Thanks so much for the update on everyone.  This week was an awesome week we are doing great the District is doing great and the missionary work continues to roll forward. This week I had an interesting dream I was back home and I thought about being in Uganda and I thought how much I truly missed it. Not that I felt like I didn't do enough just that I missed being in Uganda. It was very good for me it made me so glad to actually be here because one day I will be home and I will miss it here so now I should make the best out of it and enjoy it while I am here. Also we had an awesome referral family this week, they live super far from the church and walking to church took about an hour. They are a great family the husband Calvin is super interested and he bore his testimony this Sunday about he got hit by a boda boda and still managed to come to church walking and he is such a nice guy. He has 7 kids right now and 3 are below the age of 8 and all want to be baptized which is awesome they are a great family and it will be great to teach them. They were a great blessing from our Heavenly Father. Another thing this fast and testimony John Mark Natasha Aimee and Aimont all bore their testimonies and they were all so good and great to hear. Yesterday it was mainly a day for the recent converts to share their testimonies and even one got up his name is Oscar and he is like ok everybody lets get out our scriptures and can I get a volunteer to read this and we were like oh boy. The Counselor told him not to do that, but it was good. It was just such a great day and our week has been going great, full of hard work and walking. It is such a blessing being able to share this wonderful message to the world.  I also watched that movie on John Tanner and it was so inspiring to me how he could go through so much and give all he had to the gospel it shows how converted he was and how willing to do anything for the Lord and his servants it really wants me to be better. I love how much the Gospel of Jesus Christ can bless others and strengthen our relationship with our Heavenly Father. I am so grateful to know that I have a Savior who died for me and all those willing to accept the gospel. He knows us and loves us all so very much! I was looking at my Patriarchal blessing the other day and I knew that this was me and it truly showed that God knows me personally and every single one of us and that is such an amazing blessing for all of us. I love you all and I am grateful for all you do!
