Week 78 I am loving Chimoio

February 23, 2015

Hey family how are you this week? Today it is raining and cool. I still don't know my area really well because I have been here only 1 week but I am loving Chimoio!!! We have been working hard and having lots of success we had 5 families at church and have found really nice families this week!! We found this one family by accident because we got lost and had to ask for directions and we contacted the guy and then he came to church and him and his wife understood everything about the Restoration it was sweet!


So tell us about your new area, it is mountains, desert, hot, cold, poor, more Americanized?  Do you like it?SO MY NEW AREA IS COOLER WITH MOUNTAINS NOT AMERICANIZED AND KINDA POORER
Are there lots of cool African animals there? I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY
Did you go out and meet all the branch members?  YES I DID Are they called wards now that they are a stake.NO HERE IT IS STILL A BRANCH BECAUSE WE ARE FAR FROM EVERYWHERE
How is your new apartment or house?IT IS GOOD
Is it just the two of you that live there or do you share it with other Elders?IT IS JUST THE TWO OF US
What is your new Companions name and where is he from?HIS NAME IS BRAIN WOLLEY FROM BOUNTIFUL UTAH
How long has your companion been out? THIS IS HIS 5TH TRANSFER
Has he been serving in Chimoio or was he transferred also?  HE ONLY HAS 5 WEEKS HERE
If you have other Elders that live with you where are they from?
  Did they pull all of the missionaries out of Swaziland?LIKE 90 PERCENT OF THEM ONLY 2 STAYED
 Who was at the organization of the new stake(church leaders)? ELDER ELLIS ONLY
Was there any special things that happened at it?NO
Did the missionaries get to play any role in it at all, like sing or anything?NO WE JUST WATCHED
 Tell me about your mission reunion (stake organization) with all your companions? IT WAS GREAT I GOT TO SEE ELDER PALU AND ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT I KNEW
Did anything exciting happen on your 20 hour bus ride to Bieria? WE GOT A FLAT TIRE
 Was it crowded and people standing all around or was it more like a greyhound bus. THE MISSION RENTED A BUS FOR ALL THE MISSIONARIES A NICE BUS
How come they didn't fly you over there? SAVE MONEY BUT IT COST US MORE BECAUSE WE HAD TO PAY 800 MET TO GET FROM BERIA TO CHIMOIO
What was the best part of your week? GETTING OFF THE BUS!!  HAHA NO BUT IT WAS YESTERDAY WHEN WE HAD 5 FAMILIES AT CHURCH
What are you doing for P-day?WELL ITS RAINING SO WE ARE JUST GOING TO RELAX
What are some interesting facts about this new area you are in?  I DONT KNOW
How much is gas there? Ours just went up to 2.14 I DON'T KNOW
How is your Portuguese doing? IT WAS A LITTLE RUSTY BUT ITS LIKE ALL BACK NOW
Are you still doing push ups everyday? MOST DAYS
 I LOVE YOU HAVE A GREAT WEEK AND BY THE WAY MY SHOES ARE DYING SO I HAVE TO BUY A NEW PAIR!
