Hello, hello, hello friends and family. Transfers have come and gone like usual. I woke up Sunday morning to extreme confusion because my name was not on the transfer board.
Why is that?
Because my new area is going to be in:
ETHIOPIA!!!!!!!
That's right. After six months spent in Kenya, I will be returning to the promised land. The Exodus is beginning. The Lord is taking us back to the land of our fathers. There's a group of 10 American missionaries that are returning to the country this week and I am lucky to be a part of that group. I'm going to miss Kenya a lot though. The members, our recent converts, the work, and the atmosphere have been so great. I never thought I could make such strong relationships in such a short amount of time and I've learned so much about the Gospel, missionary work, and just life in general.
If anyone wants to come back to Kenya in the future and go on a safari with me just let me know I'll be ready. 👀
But I'm excited to take those skills for another shot at the work in Ethiopia. I don't know where I'm going or who my comp will be. As far as I know we will spend some time back at the original apartments for COVID tests and paperwork and we'll leave later in the week.
As for the work here in Kenya, it definitely felt like things were wrapping up. We taught some good lessons to our progressing people:
- We miraculously found a lady named Carol whose number we
somehow got. We thought it was a duplicate for another person but we called and
it was her and she so happened to live nearby and wanted to meet, so a bit of a
miracle. She brought a bunch of her friends to our lesson and even loved church
this week.
- We also visited the South Sudanese family to teach one of
their friends but he just kind of bashed on us which was no fun.
Other than that, it was business as usual. This week I took time to read the Pearl of Great Price and I loved how God invites Enoch to walk with him. In fact, God invites all of us to walk with him by keeping his commandments and inviting his Spirit to be with us. We can choose to have the power and influence of God with us at all times and anywhere we go in life. I don't know why you wouldn't want that. Walk with God this week!
እግዚአብሔር ይመስገን!! Have a fantastic week! I love you all! God is real and Christ lives!
