Week 80-Iganga, Uganda with Elder Bukasa



Our week was really busy. We had a lot of people who came to church last week and we've been working really hard on finding people so this week we narrowed down our focus on those who are prepared for the gospel and are serious. Tuesday, we went and taught some of the people who came to church and realized that they still believe in the law of Moses. They don't understand that it was done away with in Christ. So, they don't actually live the law of Moses themselves but because we don't "live the law of Moses" in our church I guess it was a deal breaker for them. The explanation was over their heads. Kind of weird that they believe Jesus Christ was the Savior and they still think they live the law of Moses. I tried to explain that the law of Moses meant if they broke the Sabbath they'd be put to death and they said they understood. Then I asked them if that meant they would need to be put to death if they didn't come this Sunday… they said yes if that's the law of Moses.... They also didn't come... We won't be teaching them next week... I won't say if it's because they were put to death or if it's because I dropped them....
 This week we had an awesome experience with this sister we are teaching. We invited her to pray about the church and the things we are teaching her. She had a special dream where someone in white robes confirmed what we were teaching her and told her she needed to be baptized. She and her three sisters came to church on Sunday and are now preparing to be baptized. Iron Man is not progressing, and we will not be teaching him again. Shocker. We're feeling super blessed right now as this is a tough area, but we feel very successful. I'm loving the book of Mormon more and more all the time and my testimony of the truthfulness of that record continues to grow. I've been reading a lot in Alma about pride and have really focused on developing humility. I know that probably made you giggle and go ya right. love you momma!
