Colby in Kampala: Another great week

Hey guys,

Finally, finally a really great week! We got a lot of missionary work done. A build up of all those weeks not being able to proselyte was let loose this week. We saw some good success with investigators and other things.

So we found 5 new investigators this week. Some better than others but all good. We can really thank the members on this one. We have been pushing the members to be more active in the missionary work. Investigators are much more powerful coming from members. A recent convert from Meganagna branch moved to Shiro Meda in our area. He has been teaching his mom the discussions without telling the missionaries and the other day he brought her and a friend to us. We taught them and they loved it. Happily accepted a baptismal date of December 3rd as well! It is awesome. The next investigators are named Betty and Atseda. They are helpers of Sister Weynshet, the blind lady in our branch. We didn't teach them at first though they sat through some discussions with Emiyu. They have been coming to church the last two weeks and so this week we started teaching them. They are great. Just progressing them slowly. Some others are a Jehovahs Witness investigator we found street contacting. His intentions are more to prove our church wrong than join it. We still give him a chance lucky for him.. Hahaha. We had a great week for investigators. Woo!

I have made a pretty good relationship with the US Embassy families living in our branch boundaries. It has some real good perks with it. First, both the Moores and the Francoms are just soooo awesome. Really fun families. I ate dinner at the Francoms on Tuesday. They made us enchiladas and some other few things. All of it was tasty. On Saturday we saw the Moores while proselyting in Kera. They picked us up and took us to a Korean restaurant. Ohhhhh my word! It was super duper expensive first and second the best dang food ever. I miss nutrients in food. Injera and other local foods just aren't good for you and it is making me skinny and weak again. Hahaha. So when we get real food with real meat its just a shot to the veins and wakes us up again. On Thursday we are going to the Francoms for Thanksgiving. Cant wait!

That is about it for the week. Oh by the way I have strep throat right now... .ahhh. It is okay. We hiked a little mountain to overlook Addis for the day. It was really fun. Some creepy worshipers at the top. Hahaha.

Have a good week guys. Love you all!

Love,
