This week was a crazy one. During the second half of it we didn't have a free moment because there was so much to take care of. Part of that had to do with the fact that mission conference was on Wednesday! The remainder of the missionaries stranded in Kenya finally made it back to Ethiopia! We had a huge meeting and it was so fun to have everyone back. I couldn't help but smile the whole time.
So, now we have a bunch of new missionaries! Our zone went from six missionaries to fifteen, so a lot of business came from getting organized and helping everyone out.
We put Tekaw on date this week for July 3rd! That guy is prepared. I've never had an investigator be such a friend and so genuinely engaged in the Gospel. We always have a good time with him. Tesfaye is still doing well and found a job, but has two weeks until he starts. Those two weeks will be hard from him. So, we shared some scriptures about deliverance and faith knowing God will help him. Keep him in your prayers. Finding was hard this week, but we got some good referrals that we are excited to teach this coming week.
The Sisters had a baptism and we were able to enjoy the experience of that. I was able to participate in the confirmation and that is always a special treat. That, along with the sacrament, got me thinking about ordinances, and how D&C teaches that godliness is manifest in the ordinances. The ordinances bring us closer to God and are powerful reminders of our covenants as well as awesome spiritual experiences.
One of the Sisters from my MTC group goes home this week. I'm starting to feel old.
Oh yeah and we were caught in the middle of a scandal this week. Long story short, a man took advantage of our free English classes and started passing out his own flyers for it, advertising that we would give people jobs and scholarships when we definitely are not, and then he would make money off of it. Not so good.
I hope your week this week goes better than that!
Happy Father's Day too!
