This week I had to go back down to bentonville to go on splits with the assistants and they are both really good missionaries and I learned a lot as well as had a lot of fun seeing president and sister loveland and being back in my old stomping grounds of bentonville! Then we came back and had the traveling assistants (elder wilcox and my main man mgd83 degooyer) with us and we went out and had a lot of fun teaching with them. We have two more elders coming in tomorrow to come on splits with us!!!
Our investigators are doing really well, and frank received the aaronic priesthood this week. The refugees are good and we are really excited to see what this swahili speaking branch in SLC can do to help us with teaching them. 5 or so have asked us to baptize them but we are holding off until we can have a translator to really teach them the best we can and hopefully should have some really awesome things in this area soon. We have so much support from everybody around us which makes it so awesome and we also found 7 more refugees who want to take the lessons this past week!
I hope you all have a really great week, I studied in Ether a lot this week and realized an interesting concept. God prepares the brother of Jared to cross the sea by helping him make his ship very tight, because in order to get to the promised land the lord must send fierce winds which cause large waves to push him accross the sea. I think it is a great analogy for when we go through hard times that maybe the lord is sending the winds to get us to the promised destination he has for us.
Love you all!!! Green
