Hey,   

I am doing great today. Had a good preparation day we went and played some tennis which was pretty awesome. My companion is awesome he is a hard worker and I am very blessed to have yet another great companion.  This is his first time in the city he has mainly been in the villages and now for the first time is in the city and a new Zone Leader so it has been really great to be with him. He is about 11 months on mission so he is almost as old as me. So everything I know is going well. The Zone is doing good there are a few places that need extra encouragement and I know that those things happen. I have had a total of three south African companions so it is I guess something that I am good working with ha I don't know. We found a lot of new people this last week which was pretty great we really went out and worked hard. We have a lot in our teaching pool Last transfer we didn't have so many and so this first week we really wanted to focus on finding lots of people. We have Eric and James which were pretty awesome they came to church this Sunday. Sister Vicky gave us a referral family of four which was nice the mom named Lucy came to church and she said she liked it and she accepted to be baptized. Also brother Poggy came to church and I am hoping that his wife has the desire to get married then be baptized. We also have a few other like Christopher and Ronnie. Gerald also has a baptismal date and is willing to be baptized and he even came to church which was great. We met a guy named Patrick yesterday he was a Catholic, but as me and my companion both agree it was a very spiritual lesson and that guy was very willing to be baptized we found him yesterday after knocking many doors. It shows that if we are willing to do all we can that we can find those that are ready or even do what is required of us.  Truly the Lord helps us in any tasks we go through.We do have more but those are the ones that are doing well right now. We have four people in the apartment it is pretty good.  We have my companion, and Elder Stewart who is one of my brothers from the MTC and  Elder Blades and they are all great missionaries and they have a great excitement for the work. I haven't tried any new foods lately yet I don't think they are unusual to me anymore, they are all pretty normal now ha. It is pretty cool over here we live right next to the lake which is pretty nice and it is nice and cool in the mornings I like it a ton. It is a wonderful area. Everything is going good and I am loving being here and loving to serve the people around me the missionaries and the people of Uganda. I know that this is his work and that he helps us through what we all go through and he loves us so much each and every single one of us.

It sounds like it is a busy summer and that they are all doing good thanks so much for the updates and I am glad for your continued support and love. Love you

Love
Elder Hildreth
