Week 79

Well the weather took a break this week so that was nice, only had about 2 or 3 days that were deathly hot, the others were fairly nice. This week was pretty uneventful. We had a full week of just work. No meetings, no trainings, no nothing, just time to work which was nice.

The area... lets just say Ive had better haha. Actually this week was an historic week for me on the mission. It was the first time Ive had 0 investigators show up to church. Ya it was a little bit of a slap in the face. We finally thought we were getting somewhere with these families, but we are basically gonna drop everything and start from scratch this week to start the transfer fresh and let the Big Man work some miracles to help us hit our goal of 7 baptisms this transfer. Sometimes you just gotta put your nose to the grindstone and keep pushing forward. Read a great quote from President Howard W Hunter: "With your life and faith centered on Christ, nothing can go wrong permanently."

With the lack of progressing investigators Ive got lack of things to say haha. This upcoming week we have zone conference which will be nice. Oh also some big news for you! The last Sunday of this transfer, Feb 21, Elder Anderson is coming to Maputo! He is having a general meeting with the members in the morning, and in the afternoon and meeting with just the missionaries in Maputo, so like 30 of us! That will be super osum!

On a chapa ride this week I met the Mozambican Lil Wayne. The dude rapped to me for like 10 minutes right in my ear, and when he finished he started like playing his hand like a flute and going buck for like 2 minutes. Everyone in the chapa was plugging their ears and I was just busting up laughing. I think the guy took that as my approval so he continued until he got off at his stop. It gave me a nice little laugh halfway through the day, Im sure you'll like it too.

As for the transfers being moved up a week, they will just even out as we do 7 weeks this transfer so my release date is the same no stress. As far as planning through the mission the APs still haven't gotten back to me so when I know Ill let you know as well.

Much Love,
Elder Hruby
