እንደምን አደራችሁ ወንድሞችና እህቶች!!!
Good morning brothers and sisters!!!
We are back in Ethiopia! It feels like I fell into a black hole a week ago because everything this week was very familiar but the circumstances drastically different from what they were before, almost like a Marvel-style different dimension or timeline.
I got picked up in Embakasi early Tuesday morning and got taken back to Serene Valley Apartments where I stayed before for three months doing online work! Right after we dropped our bags off, drivers came back and took us to the mission home in Kenya. We had a send-off lunch with President Mdletshe and talked about our favorite Kenya moments.
In the three days we stayed at Serene Valley we didn't have much to do. We discussed ideas we could integrate coming back into Ethiopia and had a Zoom call with President Dudfield. Other than that, we mostly just chilled and hung out with one another! With the ten Elders there it was an absolute blast! And shout out to Elder Larson... I finally got to be companions with him even though it was only for three days while we were there.
The travel to Ethiopia was a smooth as could be! We all stayed at the office apartment and there I met my MTC Amharic teacher from 16 months ago, Wendim Beyene in the flesh! There have been a lot of great reunions with missionaries and members all around.
On Tuesday I received my assignment. I am now serving in Bekulobet, which is pretty much the opposite side of the city from where I was before, and I'm serving as a ZL with Elder Ayre from North Salt Lake. This area is a nicer part of the city with lots of foreigners. The members are very strong and there's good work to do. Now I just have to un-rustify my Amharic and we'll be smooth sailing.
Quick funny story, we called a member Sunday night to ask about some of the people he had referred, but before we had a chance to say anything, he sent us a random number and said call this person at 7. Turns out it was his 12-year-old niece who used to come to church, so we shared a quick Book of Mormon story with her. The work has already begun!
That's about it! Have a good week everyone! The Atonement is real! Remember to rely on its power.
