11/30/2019 -- we used the Bible to help her understand

11/27
We got lost. We went to the dentist today, but got lost for a long time. Fortunately, I planned for this, so we still got to the dentist an hour early.

So. Much. Wasted. Time.

We were supposed to see this guy today, but he decided not to come, so we were sitting at the church for three hours waiting for the baptismal font to fill (need to fill it days in advance since you can’t be sure when you’ll have water) which was supposed to be a good use of time, but then this guy bounced.

Aside from that, we were able to see S. Emmaqulate and S. Esther.

S. Esther’s visit was a very interesting one. She had some family attacking her over her new religion, and we used the Bible to help her understand the points that these family members were attacking. It was a fun visit.

We got transfer news today. I’ll be staying here and my new companion is Elder Tolbert from USA. E. Mukendi is going to Eldoret.

E. Madsen is getting E. Ikahihifo as a companion, that means there will be four Americans in one flat.

We rushed out first thing and saw some people, our morning was completely full, but the evening was completely empty. Kinda sucked, but what made it worse was that the member we texted to see if we could come over responded over an hour AFTER the appointment was supposed to begin – long after we’d given up on seeing them.

Felt like a bit of a waste.

Well, yet another busy morning. We visited three people in the space of a few hourse, the first was a visit to Benson and Georgina (Less Active Recent Converts) to drop off a Kiswahili Book of Mormon.

Then we went to see a Brother named Steven who is a Recent Convert, but he’s well on his way to being less active now – he hasn’t been to church for a while.

After we saw Steven we went to see a pair of sisters named Kate and Serena. They’re doing well and they have a lot of questions, but his is only our second visit with them, so we’ll see if they’ll actually start progressing.

I tried to video call home, but the mic wasn’t working, so that sucked.
