Hey,
I am doing great. I am really loving this area and Uganda the people
are awesome and very friendly. I am glad you guys enjoyed the article
it was interesting and I liked it. So on my side things are going very
well. Calvins family are getting ready they weren't baptized this week
so we will see about the next and I have a great hope that things are
going to go very well with them. The Lord has truly blessed us because
of our hard work we were blessed with some new people at church who
came and they really enjoyed it and even one who is Andrew is ready
for baptism soon and he stays in our area which is great. Sister
Scovia Oluka is doing good she just had her baby and it is a girl. So
that's some new news. We have been teaching some college boys from
Busia and they seem super interested in what we have to say. Also a
family guy named Patrick he hasn't yet come to church we are working
with him though he seems sometimes fairly busy on Sundays. He seems
interested though. We had a family from Mbale come they have been
taught by other Elders before and I hear the father is pretty
stubborn, but the wife she is super interested so that is what keeps
her coming. One of our recent converts came to church which was such
an awesome thing she hasn't come for awhile she is the wife of brother
Charles and he always comes with the kids, but the wife is somehow
busy sometimes so that was so awesome to see. So one of the spiritual
things that happened for me this week one being when I met with a
recent convert named Daniel I think I have told you about him. He just
told me how much he needed church and how when he had nothing but came
to all the activities he was much more happier then now that he has a
job a car and all those things and can't come. It is so awesome how
the Lord works he can truly make us happier when we have nothing and
when we do our best to keep the Lords commandments. I know that is so
true we could have nothing and be more happy than those who have
everything if we keep the commandments of God. Another was from the
Calvin family and they had a daughter who wasn't sure if she wanted to
be baptized and we shared with her and the spirit was so strong one of
them Fiona knew she needed to be baptized with her family Sister
Gloria she was kinda stubborn hardening her heart, but it was softened
by the love of a pleading father asking her child please come join the
church of Jesus Christ with us and be baptized he handed her a the
Families can be together forever pamphlet and it was something I saw
that was so special the Love the father has for his children and that
he knew the truth and wanted his family to come so bad to be with him.
They have been a testimony building family with me along with the John
Mark family even though they are struggling they continue to feel the
joy and happiness that comes only through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Well Its been an awesome week and I am loving the time that I have
here. It is Elder Cumaios bday today which has been awesome. Elder
Kasue, Elder Birch, and Elder Cumaio have been great examples to me
and have helped me a lot. Its been a great building experience for me
to be here in Nsambya.
I am grateful for all you do and I love you all so much until next week.
Love Elder Hildreth
