I am doing wonderful. We have a nice small apartment I like it a lot. We should be getting lots of new missionaries and I am super excited because this mission hadn't gotten many new missionaries for a while. Now it can start getting young missionaries again. I am so excited for the growth that is going to happen to the missionaries serving and it should be great. This week was a pretty good week. This week we found some new people and most of them seem pretty great Henry who was recently baptized showed us some new friends Jeremiah and Frank and they seem very interested in the gospel so we are excited to teach them and I know that all will go well. This Sunday was probably my highlight of the week though. We had a Southeast Africa conference and it was super awesome it was a broadcast to all here in Southeast Africa. In this conference President Thomas S. Monson gave a great quote 'If we don't try we don't do and if we don't do why are we here?" It made me think about missionary work and continuing to do our duty I loved it so much. The quote was awesome sometimes we may fail and fail and fail again, but just as Nephi knew the Lord when he commands us to do something or if our Leaders tell us to do something to just try and one day we will succeed we look at Nephi and it took him three times to get the brass plates. It takes patience, but if we keep persevering we will come off conqueror. Also Elder Crayk one of the missionary couples gave a great talk also that was very inspiring it was about sustaining our leaders and what I got from it was this if we don't do what our Leaders ask we are not sustaining Christ as our Savior so when our chosen leader asks us to do something and we don't try to fulfill it we are not sustaining Christ as our Savior. Yes sometimes we make mistakes but I know that through Christ all things are possible. It was a pretty good Sunday we have a few people progressing and being prepared for these coming weeks to enter into the fold of Christ.
It is great to hear about Butte High Football I am glad they were finally able to pull it out it shows when we put our hearts together for something as a people we can accomplish many things. Also it is great to hear that Haley has a great coach who understands and that shows great faith just to ask such a great question I am grateful for their faith to ask. Many people here in Uganda are so scared to ask their bosses for work off on Sunday it is sad so it is hard for them to come to church sometimes. I am grateful for Haleys great faith to ask now she doesn't have to miss seminary! Well this week is Thanksgiving week and I would like to wish Everyone Happy Thanksgiving!! I would like to give thanks to such a wonderful family who are always there for me willing to help me be better! I am thankful for the friends who have been such a great influence in my life! And I am most grateful for Christ our Savior in his Atoning sacrifice for us that we may become clean and that all pain sorrow or suffering we go through will be helped be the sacrifice he offered for us! I love you guys and wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving!!
Love Elder Hildreth
