Missionaries sang as they walked and walked and walked and walked and walked.

So as you can see from the subject we have traveled pretty far this week.  I have talked about transport a little.  To explain more Matatus work kinda like taxis except you gotta to get the right one.  In our farthest part of our area it's about an hour walk and it is extremely hard to get a matatu to and from.  Unless you are at the stage ( area where they load and unload) so we end up just walking most the time.  It is pretty fun except right now is the start of the rainy season so we have either mud puddles or dust, no inbetween. Its great, I like to splash in the big big puddles, then sometimes I lose my shoe under like six inches of mud.

Lets see for stories. I will give one fun, and spiritual.

Story #1

So we were visiting with this less active member and she loves church history.  So she got the Mountain of the Lord video about the building of the Salt Lake Temple.  She told us we could watch it while we waited for the food to finish cooking. Most people start cooking when you arrive. So we were talking and half watching the film, and it was at a part where they were cutting the marble out of the canyon.  The Sister turns to me and asks " So do they have rocks like this in your homeland?" I have told her I am from Salt Lake several times. Kindly I say "Sister, that is my homeland, that canyon is about twenty minutes from my house." And she was in awe, like "oh my gosh so this is your home!?" " Yes that is the Salt Lake Temple.  I am from Salt Lake, hence I know the temple and the canyon."  She was very impressed for some odd reason.

For spiritual

We have an recent convert who received the priesthood last week.  Then he was assigned to bless the sacrament. We visited with him and taught him how to bless the sacrament.  What everything he will do represents, showed him Moroni chapters 4 and 5.  He blessed the sacrament yesterday. It was one of the best sacraments that I have ever had.  Because to me it showed that I showed this man the restored gospel; so that he could repent and return to his father in heaven.  Now he is the one blessing the sacrament to give that blessing of repentance and the atonement of Christ to the whole branch!  It was just an awesome feeling!  He only messed up once, so that was great.

Anyways internet is being crazy bad right now so no pictures this week, sorry I know all of you just love to look at my beautiful face.

Till next week, stay blessed.
