Hello everybody!!! It was another
great week out here in the city of Springfield!!! Things were a little slower
this week actually and it has been a little hard with only covering one ward
now and trying to find work for the whole ward, but we have seen some really
awesome miracles too!

The first one would definitely be
our new investigator, Frank. After praying and searching and getting pretty
exhausted trying to find we got a text from our bishop saying that there is a
new part-member family that just moved in and that we should call them. So, we call them and the woman Tammi,
said that her new husband needs to be taught and baptized hahaha. We asked where they had moved into...
Our same apartment complex like a 15 second walk haha. We taught Frank three times this week
and he is ready to be baptized any Saturday! He has been taking the lessons for
a long time over the phone because he is a trucker with his wife so they are on
the road a ton!
Another awesome story was we had a
recent convert (Elih Kalamba) a refugee that was baptized in the Southern Hills
Ward come up to help teach our refugees this week. He speaks English and Swahili! For the first time we were able to really just sit down and
communicate with all of our investigators and it was so nice!! It was a pretty
tender moment for me when they voiced that they were grateful for us teaching
them about Christ and that they were grateful for their friend Kijani (that is
Green in Swahili and that is what they call me ) haha. It meant a lot to me because sometimes
it feels like a waste of time trying to teach and baptize them because it is so
slow but I was so happy to know that they appreciate the time we have spent
with them!
Well there is so much to say but I
have a lot to do today! I am sorry.
I love you all. Thank you for the birthday packages Mama
and Aubs! I have been able to use
those new clippers to give a lot of nice haircuts! Also thank you so much Grandma and Grandpa and Lani
and Cindy and Kathy and Scott and Fiona just the whole clan I love you all so
much!!! Have a great week :)
