(email dated March 7, 2016)So my name has changed from Sister Burt to Sister But here… for some reason R’s are silent here sometimes, so when people read my name, all the little kids laugh haha. They get it a little better after I say it. I think it’s funny
This week it rained a LOT! So it was hard to contact and stuff because it’s pouring and muddy and people go inside, but it was ok! Another exciting thing this week was electricity…. we didn’t have any for 3 days straight then it came back off and on, but it has been more likely not to have power than to have any haha thank goodness for my super flashlight! I’ve never been more grateful for a flashlight haha. This week was great though and I have been thoroughly enjoying personal and companionship study! It is so fun to search the scriptures for answers to questions!! I have learned a lot and noticed a lot of things I never noticed before about the scriptures! It is so much fun!!
There were a few baptisms this weekend which ended up being pretty interesting… out of the 6 people who got baptized, the only ones who didn’t have to go down more than once and ended up literally in tears, were the last 2 guys who were so late that we had already done the closing things after the baptisms. So it was interesting! But good.
Brother Madondo is doing well and wants to be baptized asap, so hopefully things can get worked out with his wife!! And Mia Lisa told us yesterday and told us that her husband doesn’t want her to join the church because he doesn’t like it, so we’ll visit her again this week and see what’s going on. Other than that, we’re continuing to try and find people who want to learn, which has been hard, but they are out there somewhere!
Thanks for all of your examples and kind words! I love you all!
Sister Burt
