I feel like these emails are very comparable to scripture when Moroni or Mormon or whoever is writing says they only include a hundredth of what was going on. I only have so much time to fill you in on everything. So here are some highlights:
On Wednesday I got a random call from the sisters up in my old area in north stake. They asked if I knew a Srey Mian and I told them she's my old investigator. Turns out she came to church and told the sisters she wants to be baptized, but they didn't know who she was. But now she's coming back. Yes!
We got to meet another cool Pakistani family on Thursday. My trainer, Elder Schiefer, found them in his area up north and showed us their house. Then they came to church on Sunday as well and we are going to go teach them on Tuesday!
Thursday was also the week mark training meeting for the new missionaries that got to country last week. The meeting went well and carried over from Thursday night to Friday morning. Seems like a pretty solid group of missionaries. They weren't too enthusiastic, still just in shell shocked mode I think.
Found out Pizza, our potential investigator, actually isn't Pizza. Told us his name is Chickikelechukwu Donatus instead. Bummer, Pizza was such a cool name
Sunday was busy; which is good for us! We had Kena, Ivan, Osada, Moses, Burnadette, Cheryl, and Ron come to church. Also had some more people move into our international branch so we are now up to 70ish people attending church.
Spiritual thought of the week: I was reading in Ether and as members we often think of Ether 12:27 talking about our weaknesses being given to us from the Lord and how he will make us stronger. As I read the chapter this time I saw more of a correlation between hope and faith. I'd invite everyone to re-read this chapter and think about it, but I'll just share one verse that I liked:
Ether 12: 9 Wherefore, ye may also have hope, and be partakers of the gift, if ye will but have faith.
May we all be partakers of the Lord's wonderful gift for us.
Love y'all!

I'm just going to attach a bunch of old photos from the past transfer because I've been bad about keeping up with photos
