My time is winding down!

Hello from Gulu! 

Wow another week down. My week was a bit slow. One of the slower weeks I have had up here but that's okay. I still enjoyed it. Not the best but not the worst. The week started with me being a little sick. Nothing bad, just an upset stomach and frequent bathroom trips. The hard thing about that is proselyting.... Even if it isn't too bad it is hard to get out and get some work done. Gulu isn't like most places. Bathrooms aren't the easiest things to come by. Hahaha. Through it all we were able to get some work done. The end of the week was a little better. We mostly spent it visiting members and seeking referrals through them. Finding in Gulu isn't as easy as it is in Kampala. The best way to do the work is through referrals from members. Fortunately the members here are pretty good at helping us. 

Walter's family is doing well. They actually didn't make it to church this Sunday and we aren't sure why. But his brother Bosco came. That was a big surprise! Bosco told us he saw Walter and the family on the way to church but I guess they just never made it. Hmmm.

We were also able to get a hold of Vincent and locate him! He was in Kitgum for a few weeks with his family and finally made it back to Gulu for work! He was happy to see us and we were also happy to see him and start teaching him again. He has received a baptismal date too for mid October.

Lastly Morris. Morris is still doing really well. We are still consistently sharing with him and he is progressing great! We plan for his baptism this Saturday! 

We have other investigators that are struggling to keep commitments or come to church. Just working through with them...

I heard about those fires... that is really sad! I can't really believe it. How close are they to our home? Seems like it is kind of burning everywhere around us? I dunno. My companion has had family from Elk Ridge get evacuated... Sad! I would just about die if I couldn't come home to our house!! I hope they get them under control very soon.

Well everything is good here. The work is going well. My time is winding down! Looking forward to coming home but I am gonna miss this place. Don't worry Africa, imma be back in full force soon enough!

Well, that is about it for me again. Hope you all have a great week. I will see you soon!

Love,
Elder McLain
