Hmmmmm how did this week go? Honestly it was kind of a blur so I feel like I will remember more as I keep writing, but no promises.
Elder Folau and I had to make a post for the mission Facebook page "Come Unto Christ in Ethiopia". It's definitely a masterpiece (just kidding please don't watch it) but I guess if you want to hear me try to speak Amharic then there you go.
We also had MLC this week. President Dudfield talked about our knowledge of the scriptures and demonstrated just how in-depth we can study. Sister Dudfield talked about uplifting leaders around us. The APs shared a message on self-discipline and, woof, that was a good one; something we should always be working on. I always come out of missionary meetings motivated, but this one especially did it to me considering I'm about to enter my last transfer and there are changes in the mission coming. Endure to the end!
On Thursday, we did a District Finding activity. Now usually I don't enjoy street contacting very much, but I cannot deny that it makes you feel truly like a missionary and that feels good. We had a good time! We went to a park and expected heavy foot traffic, but there wasn't, so instead we moved around and blitzed to talk to everyone there!
On Friday I went on exchanges with my boy Elder Ferrin in his area. In the morning, we taught a girl that was actually found during the activity! She was a little bit flirty with Elder Ferrin, but nonetheless we were able to deliver a powerful message on the Gospel. I had a lot of fun talking to people on the street with him!
Tekaw has been out of Addis for work so it's been hard to contact him. We tried to meet with the lady who fed us on the holiday, but she was just not interested.
On Saturday, we had the baptism for the golden boy Kebebew! He was so happy and so prepared for this day. He kept telling us how happy he was and how he is living a new life. Then, to top off his spiritual feast, he was able to watch General Conference the next day at church! During that time, I was able to sit by Tesfay and help answer his questions during the session.
This week, 3 Ethiopian youth got their mission calls! It's so cool to see missionaries come from the branches here. Sister Moyers always says that shows true growth. No unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing. This is God's church and his work.
Let me know how you are doing!!!
