This past week has been good.
Yesterday, we had a ton of people show up for church!! Usually in the
branch here, only about 50 maybe 60 people come every Sunday. But
yesterday, we had about 125 people there for branch conference! Thats
awesome! There is definitely a lot of work to do here with the less
actives. We are also starting to find some new investigators, so we will
keep trying to find more.
Also, this morning my companion
and I pulled/destroyed the weeds in our yard today. When the people here
pluck/destroy weeds, they use a machete. Thats right, kind of like
Clayton from Tarzan who cuts through the thick African jungle with his
machete. I kinda felt like that today haha. Mom knows that I enjoyed
that! My companion is great too. We get along great and we teach pretty
well together too.
Just so you all know, I really enjoy playing the
piano now! I play every week in sacrament meeting. And yesterday I
played for the choir that sang too. It was so special and everyone was
so happy to hear the piano.
I am so blessed by my heavenly father. So
many opportunities to develop my gifts and talents that the Lord has
given me. I'm so grateful to be a missionary here in the best mission in
the WORLD. Thanks for all your love and support. Have an amazing week
in the work of salvation!!
Thats good that your feeling better dad. Just so you know, that is also
one of the many things that I have learned here in the mission. That
the worldly things don't really matter that much. And that the gospel is
everything! Love you so much, keep doing what you need to in order to
get better!
lots of love,
Elder Strate
