This week started off well with a devotional. We had the opportunity to hear from Elder Kacher from the 70. He talked all about using the Book of Mormon in missionary work. He also spoke about forgetting your personal concerns and focusing on what the Lord wants. The whole meeting was like a mini multi-zone. We got to see two other zones and I saw some MTC friends.
We also had the chance this week to do some service for our ward mission leader Brother Sacky. We helped weed all around his house and we were rewarded with some chicken and rice. Brother Sacky has two kids, Mormon and Eden, and they are both full of energy. They love the missionaries and I think I've had some pictures in past emails with them.
The last thing of the week was a 24 hour fast. We decided to fast for the people in our area because we have been struggling with sacrament attendance. The fast wasn't easy but it has already started to work with 5 new people coming to church on Sunday. Breaking that fast was amazing. Water and biscuits have never been so good before.
Everything here feels normal to me now. Even all of the naked children and breastfeeding women. This week I had a new record of 4 women breastfeeding during lessons. The food isn't the best but I like some of it now. Water and sunscreen are my new best friends, as long as I don't get Malaria.
I'll see you all next week!
