Transfers came this morning. They said that the transfer will be 8 weeks and that me and Elder Majawa are staying, again! This will be our 4th transfer together here in Gulu. Pretty crazy.
Well, this week was pretty good. Just a couple interesting things that happened this week: we got in a debate with a Nun and we had a family come to church!
So about the Nun... haha. We went to this lady named Rose, who always gives us water and snacks, even though she isn't really interested in the church. When we go occasionally her friend who is a Nun is there. Usually we just talk about our days and things like that, but this day was different. Elder Majawa asked her what the Catholic Church believed (even though he was a member of it for 18 years of his life). To make a long story short, we had a long discussion on some doctrine and she ended up asking for a Restoration Pamphlet.. haha.
The Family is the more important and more exciting part of the week. Here in Gulu the two biggest obstacles are marriage and people coming to church. We had three families this last week who were all married and had a great chance of coming to church. Unfortunately only one came, but that is still super awesome! Their names are Jimmy and Pheobe and they have 2 kids. This was the make it or break it week for them. If they didn't come we would have to drop them. Luckily they came and I am super excited. They seemed like they really liked the church and we have good teachers who got them involved during the lesson. We had a baptism date for them, but we are going to have to move it back since it took them so long to come to church. I am excited for what the future holds for them.
Well, not much else to report on. I love the work and Uganda. Thanks for all you guys do.
