Well, I will be totally honest. My first transfer as a Zone Leader is over
and, boy, I was tired to the max but I knew there was no way I was doing it
alone! This week has been an interesting one.
We had a heat wave and everyone
went crazy, exclaiming, “it's too hot” but then I remember where I am from and
that I needed to show love to those who are not accustomed to the heat, like I
am. To top that off we will be welcoming our new mission president. President Foote is going to be here to give the boot to the adversary. I like him already and I have not even met him. Yes, the Lord knows his servants well.

We had a rainy week as well here so it has been something
else and then we got caught up one day in a very weird situation. This is how it went down. We were out looking
for this investigator the sister missionaries referred to us. Unknown to us, the address was not correct
and we spent half-an-hour trying to find the investigator. Eventually I made up my mind to knock the closest
apartment door to the address they gave us. Upon doing so, a gentleman
approached us with a Bible in hand and asked who we were. When we told him, he
got excited and said, “please come into my apartment. We are having a prayer session.” We then were ushered into the apartment which
was only lit by one small light coming from the kitchen (yep, talk about scary)
where there were about five persons in the room. The guy who let us in just
stood by the door as if guarding it and then someone started to pray in a super
strange language. Then the other guys started
to shout “amen” and “praise the Lord” in their own language. It was at this point I saw one of my
companions look at me with the look of confusion and amazement (poor lad). Then they asked us to pray, so I did and then
we got out of there in quick time. By that
time we had figured out they were all from Ethiopia and the language they were
speaking was a tribal one, but they believed in Jesus Christ and so as you can
guess, we are going back!
Hey, I always remember the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ
is for everyone and though one of my companions thought they were not so good
they turned out to be. It helps you to see how the Lord is preparing His
children to receive this gospel from all walks of life and that I will gladly
share. As always I encourage all who
know that it is true to do the same.
