This has been a
nice week. I really enjoy the area that I'm serving in right now. I really like
the branch that I'm in, and the people here as well. It's the will of God, but
if I were to choose, I would like to be able to finish my mission from here.
I've been working hard this last week, and I've been focused on the work. We
are teaching some nice people, and I would love to see some of them get
baptized.
The couple that
we are teaching (Isaac and Jenifer) are doing really well. The marriage thing
is a small problem though. They are both willing to get married, but the wife
wants her parents to be there and for her to wear a nice dress and for there to
be rings. The husband doesn't have money to pay for any of that (he barely will
have enough for the transport to Lira and back). It's causing a bit of tension
in the family, because the husband wants to get baptized super bad, and he
doesn't care about any fancy stuff at the wedding and he can't afford it. The
wife wants to get baptized badly as well, but she wants to have a nice wedding,
and doesn't want to have one that is unmemorable. It's just a difficult
situation.
Otherwise things
are going well, hope everyone back home is alright.
Love

I don't know my
release date but I do have a clue. My last Sunday will be on the 26th of
October. That's what I figure anyway because my final transfer ends on that
day. Usually they do the farewell dinner for missionaries on a Wednesday or a
Thursday that week, so chances are (and I might be wrong) that I will be flying
home on the 30th or the 31st of October. I will get a more accurate release
date in the weeks to come.
Good to hear the
family is doing well.
