My week went by fast.
Tuesday was a normal day, and we actually had a really good day that day. We
found 6 new investigators that day which is good because it ended up being our
only full day in our area. We started teaching this members Grandma, we call
her Jaja, and she's the coolest lady ever. I love going over and seeing her,
she always makes us laugh super hard and treats us good. She loves fishing too!
Her and grandma would get along really nice. She's one of my favorite people
I've met here without a doubt. Wednesday, we got a call in the morning from the
AP's, they wanted us to drive down that day, so we could go on exchanges
Thursday before MLC. So, we did, we drove all day Wednesday and then ran some
errands in Kampala in the evening. The next day we spent all day working with
the AP's and had a lot of fun. I don't mind working with them, they're
good guys but it makes it kind of hard to get work done in our own area. I
don't like where they proselyte, it's in the slums, and I don't like the
slums-they are sad. I worked with Elder Gwatdizo, it was my first
time working with him and I love the guy. We both really like business, and
finance, and the stock market and stuff like that. We also worked
with Sister Jannett, and she just returned from serving a mission in
England -She's in the second picture. That day we got to go see Mama BuFatty,
the lady who smacked Elder Gilbert for laughing during the prayer the last time
I went on exchanges with him. That's me and her in the first picture. She fed
us sweet potatoes and ground nut sauce, which is one of my favorite dishes
here. Friday was MLC, and we talked a lot about following the example set by
Jesus Christ which I liked. I had the impression I needed to read Jesus the
Christ again and study his life more. We tried to drive home that night, but we
couldn't because traffic was so bad. I've never seen anything like that in my
life. It took us over three hours to make it 6 miles. We had to come back to
Kampala that night and stay again. We left the next morning, Saturday, and
drove all day and then went and saw members that night. The next day we finally
got to watch conference and there was a lot that I loved about it. I think the
Sunday session was one of my favorite sessions of all time. I again had the
impression I needed to study the life of Jesus Christ more as the
brethren talked and encouraged us to follow His example and become more
Christ-Like. I had a lot of favorites. I loved the talk by the guy from
the 70 about the attributes of Heavenly Father. And President Eyrings talk as
well. When he talked about is wife it hit me hard. I love when the brethren
talk about their wives. I also loved Hollands talk. The prophets talk was good,
I loved how bold it was. It was a good correction and kind of funny. After
it happened I realized that it made sense and wondered what took so long. I
have realized that sometimes the Lord waits until we ask to send revelation. We
need to do everything we can, then ask, and we'll get our answers. Kind of like
Joseph Smith and the word of wisdom. I loved how much focus there was on Jesus
Christ. I came out of conference wanting to follow his example and become more
like him. That's what I loved so much about it!
