Happiness........spending the week seeing all my friends in Kampala and Ntinda!

Hello!

Woosh another week! This week was a really fast one... Unfortunately we hardly spent any time proselyting in our area due to Mission Tour in Kampala... All around though it was a good week!

Wednesday morning we took the 6 hour drive down to Kampala for Mission Tour. It was sooo awesome because we got to stay in Ntinda!! And Elder Kubheka is serving in Ntinda right now so I got to be with one of my best friends in a former area! It was a fun few days. Wednesday night we attended institute and I was able to see all of my friends and members there. It was so great! Thursday was Mission Tour with Elder Koch from Brazil! That was a really fun time. He is very powerful and direct so we were taught well. His teachings were centered on finding the elect and then how we progress them. His wife speaks very little English. She struggled with the language through her training but Elder Koch didn't hesitate at all to just correct her English and make her say things properly. This was only to help her learn English better so it was out of love. After Mission Tour was over we were able to go and see more people in the Ntinda area and even eat a meal at one of my favorite member Josephine's house. That was a blast. Thursday morning we got ready, ran some little errands and headed back to Bardege. So Wednesday, Thursday and Friday were just taken up by Mission Tour.

Saturday we had a good day. We had a lot of catching up to do on people we weren't able to see due to our trip to Kampala. In the evening we found a family of 5! Walter, Jennifer and 3 kids. They are super powerful. They loved our first lesson. Walter and 2 of his sons were able to make it to church yesterday too. The whole family accepted a baptismal date for the 29th of September! Our area is slow but sure!

Church was good. We had a turn out of 5 investigators! Walter and his kids, a neighbor to Walter and one other man named Morris. Morris is a super smart man who works here at the internet cafe we email at. I believe I told you about him last week. He is still doing great and progressing well. 

My companion is great! He is really outgoing and hard working. A fire ball of energy. Loves making people laugh and cracks jokes all the time. The Bardege Branch loves him and so our relationship with the members is great. I'm pretty lucky when it comes to companions. 

Great story......Elder Akrong (Nana) is the former companion of my companion Elder Godfrey. Before Elder Akrong was transferred he traded ties with my comp. One morning I woke up and saw him and was like, "Godfrey I had this same tie back home!" We then put two and two together and figured out it was given to Akrong by mom!! ahhahaaha 

          

         

Well, I think that is about it for me. Hope you have a good week!!! I miss you all and look forward to seeing you very soon! 

Love,

Elder McLain
