Transferred

So, this week was transfers so that was pretty interesting. Only one of the districts in the mission stayed the same so it was pretty crazy. All the Elders from Beira and the cyclone are serving in Maputo so all the areas there have a ton of people.

As far as Nacala, the work here is going really well. We are looking to have a baptism with 7-9 people this week. From our side we have either 3-5. The first two are named Ancha and her son Paulo. They have been coming to church for about 2 months now and have come to a lot of activities. She just had a hard time accepting baptism.  Paulo has wanted to get baptized for a while now but we were waiting so they could be baptized together.

We also have Famito who was invited by Amisse to get to know the church. He is excited to be baptized and has been making big changes in his life.

We also had a miracle happen with Pascoal and Henriques as Pascoal was someone we were teaching in our first couple weeks here but he fell of the face of the earth. Then he showed up to church one week with his friend Henriques who decided he wanted to change his life and start coming to church. So Pascoal became super excited to help him out and teach him about Joseph Smith. So they are both getting ready to be baptized together!

Oh yeah and the Nacala squad is staying together no one here got transferred.

Other thing, Amisse, Felizberto and Delmar all passed and blessed the sacrament here this last week that was pretty awesome:)

Love ya'll and have a good week!

(Just as a side note, we did get to talk to Jonny last night!!!  The first thing he said was he wasn't doing too good.  When we asked why, he said their meter ran out and it was sooooo hot and the mosquitoes were so bad that they didn't get much sleep...They have to pay each week for how much electricity they use....I guess they used more electricity than normal and it ran out Sunday afternoon.  He explained more about some of the couples they are working with and how hard it is to get married. He told us about the transfers, where some of the Elders were transferred to, and what he knew about the cyclone.  Most of the information on the cyclone they got from people in Nacala.  It was so good to hear his voice.)
