Come one, come all. Another weekly email that hopefully I can make interesting and spiritual because I don't have too many ideas today but I'll just keep typing and see where it goes.
Early this week we went on exchanges to Arat
Kilo, the second district in our zone, and spent twenty-four hours up there
with those Elders. We had a good time with them and I had some cool
experiences. I was with Elder Hedengren from the US and Elder Sampson from
Nigeria and worked in their area for the day. We had some time and I had a
contact, so we met up with Nyamal if anyone remembers who that is. She is a
South Sudanese girl that Elder Burke and I were teaching nearly 10 months ago
that has stayed in contact and recently moved to Arat Kilo, so we went to her
work and I introduced her to the Elders there. She came to church on Sunday
too! I don't have a picture because now I'm terrible at taking pictures. I need
you guys to hold me accountable on taking pictures.
We taught some other awesome people, one man named Yosef really wanted to know if this was the church he should join so we helped him to understand how he could know that by praying and coming to church. Other than that, I had the coldest night’s sleep on a bare mattress because I severely under-prepared.
We also had interviews this week. I always enjoy interviews. It's just a short time to discuss with President and Sister Dudfield and wow I always receive tons of personal revelation during interviews and leave enlightened.
We met with a man named David this week who spoke really good English that we met on the road one day while proselyting. We met with him and explained what we do as missionaries. He seemed to really respect it and wants to meet again with a friend. We taught another new person named Muluken who is the nicest and happiest guy. He came to church and liked it so we hope we can continue to help him.
Tesfay blessed the Sacrament this week. It was super cool to see. We also had 71 people at Sacrament meeting which is the most I've seen since coming to Beklobet.
Now time for the headline story. This week Elder Burke sent us a referral for a dude named Bereket. We called him, and when he said that he was a musician and that he had read some of the Book of Mormon before, everything clicked. He is a famous Gospel singer in Ethiopia and I've listened to a few of his songs before. He has met with missionaries before and I got to talk to him.
Scripture of the week!
3rd Nephi 5:13
Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the
Son of God. I have been called of him to declare his word among his people,
that they might have everlasting life.
