Hey,

I had great experiences this week. We have been staying pretty busy as you know teaching and progressing all of the people so it has been going great. Yesterday we were able to have four baptisms with Nelson, Clementine, Yves, and Oliver. Yves and Oliver are the children to Cecil and they loved the gospel and have been coming to church for a long long time. They were all great and they will all build the church so that was really good. I had a pretty interesting interview this past week as I interviewed Pascasie's family for baptism the kids they did well, but when it came to sister Pascasie she had a very interesting story behind her and actually even the kids have an interesting story. It has to do with the genocide so I will have to tell you later. They were also able to tell me that the name "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" has a very special meaning like we know it does, but in K-Rwanda it has a very great meaning. So it was a good interview and all four of them passed. As a Zone last week we were able to have nine baptisms four from us four from Kigali 2 and one from Kigali 3 so were able to have a good amount of baptisms. Something else that happened this week was there was a pretty big storm it hailed and was pretty interesting we were in the church but as we went out some trees were knocked over and even some houses were damaged it was the biggest storm I have seen since I have been here. I am grateful to serve and to be on the Lords errand and I hope to continue to bring joy and peace to everyone I see. Still waiting for the church to be recognized here. We hope it happens soon.  Well I am doing great we are working down here and there is much more to do. 

Thanks for the wonderful email I hope you have a great week and that all goes well. I love you all and hope you have a great week.

Love Elder Hildreth
