Well, it was a pretty good week. The first week of the transfer is always kind of slow.. But it was a good one! We were able to get some good work done. It will take about 3 weeks for Rosemary and Habib to get married, and it will take Amos much longer, since his wife lives way out in the west. But they will make it through. We have some people coming up in the next two or three weeks. Have a guy named Charles, who was being taught, but then went to the village for awhile, but now he is back and is on track for baptism. We were teaching this guy named Julius, and he would be baptized soon, but he had to go work in the garden in the Northwest for like 20 days, but when he comes back he should be good to go. Mukono is doing great!
One thing President Collings has been having us do is focus more on Christ. We have been doing the Jesus Christ Topical Guide challenge and then he challenged us to memorize The Living Christ last transfer, and it has had a great impact on me so far. One scripture I like this week when I was studying "Jesus Christ, Relationship with the Father" was John 3:17. The verse before is very famous, but I like this one added on. It talks about how Christ Came not to condemn the world, but to save it. I feel like sometimes we forget that. We feel like we aren't good enough, or that we will never measure up and that Christ is just looking for any small thing so he can decline us entrance into the Celestial Kingdom, but he is actually always stretching his hand out beckoning us to come to him and be saved. Even as we look at others, we have a tendency to judge, condemning them for their sins.. but instead we should look at them as Christ sees them. That they have the potential of repenting and being saved. Just a small thought.
Well, I love you all. Keep being awesome!
