"jabale!
Hey everyone! So this week has been the fastest week of my life! A lot has happened. We baptized a guy named Brian, he is awesome! we were supposed to have 2 but this ladys husband said she couldnt get baptized which sucks! but we walk a lot like 7-8 miles a day. i got a blister on my lil toe lol but i killed a rat that was in our food storage that was huge and then i burned it! umm i also rode a camel this week which was really cool! i have a hard time understanding the people but im slowly learning! they say i talk fast so i talk really really slow and i feel like a weirdo but they cant understand me when i talk normal! They all speak lugandan and when i walk down the street they all yell and dance and say "mzungo bye bye" which means "bye bye white guy!" Lol the kids always run up and want to hold my hand, they are so dang cute i love them all! we have a lot of people that we talk to! we had one guy that was being so mean and wasnt getting the pristhood, and just was so dumb. So i stood up and boar my testimony to him! it was awesome like the spirit was so strong! but he was still a jerk! but we left and he wants us to come back but we probably wont because he just wants to bash! but when you bear your testimony in the name of Jesus Christ the power of the spirit overpowers you, and you know that you are gods puppet. you say what he wants you to say, i love it! but anywho, the food is good they have stuff called posho. it looks like mashed patatoes but it isnt. it has no taste, its just a filler! we go to the same resturant everyday, and the kids name is denise. he wants to go to america with me! he is funny but i gave them a cinnimon tooth pick and he freaked and loved it same with my comp lol so if you know how to make them tell me, or send them to me!
umm the church is very small here but the people are awesome. but the place is called bugembe where we tract umm its a very small town! there are shops everwhere! people are really nice and always smile and wave! the poverty here is undescricable! its sad people live in mud huts and yeah its sad. kids have ragedy clothes ive never seen so many naked babies running around.
the children are crazy they are walking so soon, they are carrying their simblings on their back when they are just old enough to walk!! its crazy! the kids here are amazing! i have to hide my water so kids dont steal it and drink it! we never go back to the apartment so i have to carry my water around but its sad.
umm im loving it here we have a lot of investigators! we are supposed to get two new inv. everyday which is hard to do because we have to find those with certain requirements,which is sad but the president said we are setting the foundation so we have to find the elect! oh goats, chickens, sheep,cows, dogs and cats are everywhere!! seriously everywhere!! but idk what else to say.
if you have any question just ask and yes my comp is awesome! we get a long really good. he thinks im hilarious because of my accent and the things i do but i love you all and miss you i hope you have a good week!
P.S. read the book of mormon! I know it to be true and it is the most pure book on the face of the earth! i would like to invite everyone to read it especially 3 nephi 11 that is the most powerful scripture and probably my favorite! i love you and miss you!!
love elder stewart"
