Jonathan's Mozambique Mission 2017-2019: Jessica e Euclides (and Amelia)

So, another awesome week here in Nacala, as we worked hard to do our best and be our best. We had some changes happen as Elder Rees left for Nampula and Elder Hancock took his place. President is also emphasizing a new rule for the mission to teach 10 people every day and make at least 30 contacts. Its been proving to be very difficult but we are trying to get better every day at doing it. We found a lot of great people this week that have a lot of potential to be great Disciples of Christ.

At the end of this week we had a great baptismal meeting with Euclides and Jessica getting baptized along side the daughter of our first baptism here (Elvira) named Amelia. We have also been very impressed by the way the recent converts of the church
have been bonding together and creating a strong unit here in Nacala. Also several of the men that we have baptized over the last months received the Aaronic Priesthood and are excited to administer the ordinance of the sacrament.

Coming up this week we will have our zone conference meaning we wont be able to hold baptisms this week but coming up on the 25th we are planning on having a large baptismal meeting.

I love this work and I love the opportunity i was given to serve God through my service to the people here in Mozambique.
