Week 98- Iganga, Uganda with Elder Bukasa
Monday,
I had an interview with president Chatora. We talked a lot about discipleship
and about how the end of my mission really doesn't have to be the end of
anything. He encouraged me to continue to strive to become like the savior and
live righteously. It was great. Tuesday was zone conference and I bore a
departing testimony. We had an extremely spiritual lesson this week teaching
brother John about the book of Mormon. He had lots of questions and really
wanted to understand it. We left him to read 3 Nephi chapter 27 and when we met
him later, he told us that when he read, he just absolutely knew it was true
and really felt the spirit. It made me really happy to see someone get so much
joy out of the book of Mormon because of how much I love it. Hopefully I'll get
to see him be baptized before I leave. Two sisters we have been teaching,
Olivia and Alice, came to church for the first time this Sunday and really
enjoyed it. Last week we had two baptisms and this week William and Dorrine
were confirmed. William especially is so so happy to be baptized and confirmed.
It's been a long time coming for him, we've been teaching him for 6 months. On
Sunday attendance was 110 people. When I first came here to Iganga 6 months ago
it was in the 40's. It's been a blessing to see the ward here grow, and the
members grow as well.
