So, President and his wife and the Assistants and Secretary's went up north to open a new area called Nacala. Alright no problem, but.... the only people left here in Maputo with a car and the ability to do all the mission chores..... yeah it was us. So we ended up taking care of two groups that went to the temple, we received tons of people in the airport for a Christmas activity that will happen here in Maputo with all of the missionaries. We bought food and cleaned houses to prepare for these groups, went to bed at 1:30 most nights and woke up at 5:30.... it was a joy. hahaha We also had some missionaries come in that had to go to the hospital..... actually a pretty hard week.
We also participated in the baptism of the Sisters in Sommerchield because their District leader was also in Nacala so.... we also did interviews and helped out with the baptism. Buuuut during all of this we only spent about two or three hours in our own area. so..... not much to say. But we are still teaching Alberto and still planning on his baptism on the 29th!
Just wanted to share a quote I came across. It says, If you are ever questioning when is the time to serve, the answer is when you are called. Man that hit me so hard and I stopped complaining so much. I was called to serve. And that's what I am doing. I signed up for this so what right do I have to complain. I was called. So i will serve how and when is needed. I love the gospel and the peace it brings. Merry Christmas next week. Hahahah Christmas, No one knows what its all about here, they call it family day.... but that's why we are here. Great teaching opportunities. Love yall!!
