Dear Framily and Friends,
There are just
somethings that I love about serving in Uganda. I love the diversity for one.
You can get missionaries from all over Africa serving around you. I've met
people from Kenya, South Africa, Zimbobwe, Malawi, Tanzania, and Madagascar.
It's pretty sweet having such diversity, and so many different cultures in one
place. Hearing stories, and making friends with people all over Africa is
pretty sweet.
We had
transfers once again and just like before I'm staying in Lira, except this
time I'm also keeping my same companion, Elder Cobabe. So basically no
changes for me.
Elder Cobabe and
I have met some pretty awesome people this week, who I am excited about. One
thing about this mission is that (especially in these younger branches
like in Lira) we are searching for specific kinds of people, ones who
will strengthen the branches and help to stabilize the branch. Basically the
most important thing that the branches need are families, complete families.
Father, Mother, and children. And It's a bonus if they have a
steady job and are well educated. That's why Elder Cobabe and I felt so
excited this week when we met someone named Simon who has a family of 5,
has an excellent job as a building supervisor and is just an all around cool
guy. He accepted a baptismal date the first time that we met him and he's
just a very elect guy. He's exactly what these new branches in Uganda
are looking for. It's so difficult to find a complete family and baptize them
but when you do It's just awesome.
Look forward to calling you
guys Sunday. Can't Wait!
Love
Elder Grilliot
