Week 63- Entebbe with Elder Budu
The best part of my week was on Sunday a man
named Rogers who we'd never met before just showed up to church. He loved the
service and said it was like nothing he had ever experienced. Sitting next to
him I realized that our worship is so unique and special. Especially when done
with the simplicity that it's done here. The sacrament really is the focus of
the meeting, and there was such a good spirit. Another highlight was in our
priesthood class we had a good lesson and a good discussion. We we're talking
about Elder Ballard's general conference address from October about D&C 138
and we were talking about missionaries in the spirit world. Budu brought up a
really good question. He was wondering what degree of influence Satan has on
those in the spirit world. Because there has to be some sort of opposition for
those beings’ decisions to have meaning. Now this discussion went over most
everyone's head, but I got a lot out of it. I know it's hard to answer that
question exactly, but I was thinking about how we take our habits with us into
the spirit world including our struggles. It just made me think about how there
is so much progression for us to go through even after this life. Low of the week was going to the hospital to visit a member who just had
a baby. It was sad to see so many mothers and babies who were having a hard
time and not getting the treatment they needed. And not seeing any fathers at
all. Still trying to find people to teach, that's a real struggle in Entebbe.
Exciting news for my companion, he's on his very last transfer!
