Week 29 Bardege, Gulu with Elder Ankrah
We had Mission Leadership conference at the Mission Home this week. So, because of that we didn't spend much time in our area-Bardege. Only a couple of days. Miraculously we still found 12 new investigators. We drove all day on Thursday to get to Kampala and then had MLC Friday. I really enjoyed MLC, and I never thought I'd ever say I'd enjoyed a five-hour meeting. I just loved all the trainings and the spirit was super strong the whole meeting. I got to catch up with Elder Millecam, my trainer, so that was cool. I also got to pick up all my homemade weights. In our area we have a neyabo named Gloria and her sister Prossy that are getting close to baptism. Another thing we are working on is that I've been teaching Elder Ankrah how to drive. If he passes a driving test the mission will pay to get his license so I'm helping him learn. It's a serious challenge though because not only has he never driven before but he has to learn driving a manual shift in the most driver unfriendly country on the planet hahaha. I learned a good lesson from the Porsche incident and always keep my hand on the e- brake. Dad will be so proud. Elder Ankrah is a really great guy, super fun and super humble. We get along great. I really like him. By the way, each of those spiders? Ya they're bigger than my hand. The new house is so nice compared to Lugazi. I would actually bring you guys back to this place. However, the bed is terrible. I think it has bed bugs… Along with my comp I live with Elder Newman, from Ogden and Godfrey, from Idaho.

Hello how are you?
ReplyDeleteMy name is Emilio, I am a Spanish boy and I live in a town near Madrid. I am a person very interested in knowing things related to the culture, the way of life of the inhabitants of our planet, the fauna, the flora and the landscapes of all the countries of the world etc., in summary, I am a person who enjoys traveling , learning and respecting the diversity of people from all over the world.
I love to travel and know all the aspects mentioned in person, but unfortunately, since this is very expensive and my purchasing power is quite small, I came up with a way to travel with imagination to all corners of our planet. A few years ago I started a collection of stamps since this activity allows me to know in an original way some aspects such as fauna, flora, characters, monuments, etc. of all countries. As unfortunately, every day it is more difficult to get stamps, some time ago I started another collection in which my goal would be to get at least one letter from each country and territory with postal autonomy in the world. This modest objective is feasible to achieve in most countries, but unfortunately it is impossible to achieve in other different territories for several reasons, either because they are countries at war, either because they are countries with extreme poverty, they are territories with small population or because any reason, their postal system is not working properly.
For all this I would like to ask you a small favor:
Would you be so kind as to send me a letter by traditional mail from Uganda? I understand perfectly that you think your blog is not the right place to ask this, and even, it is very probably that you will ignore my letter, but I would like to draw your attention about the difficulty that I have in receiving a letter from that country, besides, I do not know anyone or where to write in Uganda in order to increase my collection. A letter for me is like a small souvenir, it's as if I had visited that country with my imagination and at the same time, the arrival of the letters from a country is a sign of peace and normality and an original way of promoting a country in the world. My postal address is as follows:
Emilio Fernandez Esteban
Calle Valencia, 39
28903 Getafe (Madrid)
Spain
I would also like to invite you to visit my blog: http://cartasenmibuzon.blogspot.com there, if you wish you can take a look at my collection and in this way understand in a more graphic way why I make this request.
Finally, I would like to thank you for the attention given to this letter, and whether you can help me or not, I send my sincere wishes for peace, health and happiness for you, your family and all your loved ones.
Sincerely
Emilio Fernandez
