I am doing wonderful and had a great week. I am loving Jinja and still having a wonderful time serving the people here actually I love it here so much. They people are very friendly and they are like normal Ugandans very kind, but commitment very hard for them. We have started teaching some new people just the other day we contacted a man who has been taught before with his family and told me he came to church several times and told me you might be the one to convert me. I was surprised to hear that so hopefully we can teach him and the spirit will convert him I am sure he seems pretty ready. Also we did have a baptism that old man John was baptized and it was a really great one I was very excited he came to church for several weeks and finally was baptized so that was nice and next week we are hoping for sister Joyce to be baptized this next and upcoming week. Also their are some others that we are teaching in Kimaka, but we are hoping to find out if they are serious enough.
We found some new
guys Robert, Moses, and Charles they were pretty nice guys and we are
hoping that they will progress. So we are still finding some people and
even there are a lot of people who come every day to the church to study
for school and we are hoping that we will be able to teach them they
aren't yet member, but we know that if taught that they will be ready to
progress they seem smart and they said it was the spirit that led them
to study in the chapel. Our apartment is pretty small I will send some
pictures. I like this apartment a lot it is really great. Every
apartment I have been in has been great and I have liked them a ton. The
Branch is doing good we are still striving to get more people coming to
church for members to do their home teaching and get some more things
going.
Also we are hoping to get these big group meetings going on at
the church so we can have many investigators at
the church at one time. So instead of just teaching one or two at a
time we will be teaching in big numbers. That is another thing we are
striving to make it and bring many to the church. I am grateful to be a
servant in the vineyard and to be sharing with these great people. I can
only hope to be the servant Heavenly Father needs me to be at this time
I am striving to be a more effective and a great messenger of this
wonderful restored gospel. I am just so grateful for the talents that I
have been given and I will strive to be a greater servant. So for the Ugandans maybe you can make some bracelets for them with some gospel principle like endure to the end, faith in every footstep and other things. Also some ties or something I am not sure, but those are some little things that I believe you can send with any other idea that you have. I am so thankful for the email I loved it so much little children have eternal life as my last companion would always say and I cannot deny that. I am so grateful to have been blessed with such a great family and friends who continue show their love in prayers and give strength to me. Thanks I love you all!
Love
Elder Hildreth
