Magoanine has treated me well this week! Weather wise it has
either been suuuuuper hot or a big thunderstorm it has kind of been
unpredictable! Water and energy has been the same way!
Yesterday we had
stake conference and they created a new ward, it was honestly so cool to be
there with the whole stake of Maputo and to feel the happiness and excitement
about the growth of the church!
Elder Macanige and I are still working hard! We are still
focusing a lot on our families that we are teaching right now and I am honestly
so lucky to have these amazing families in my first area. We are teaching this
one family (Ceisa and Laura) and we hadn’t met with them in a while and we came
back to follow up on the Book of Mormon and we come to find out that he read up
to 1 Nephi 15 and I was pumped!! We have another family (Benidito and Amelia)
and they have come to love prayer after we had to help them get over some type
of shyness they had about praying. This week we will only be baptizing Vicente
but it will be a big baptismal service so I am really excited about that!
This week is Thanksgiving so I just wanted to end with some
of the things I am thankful for. I am thankful for showers, air conditioning,
cloudy days, sunsets, this opportunity that I have to serve the Lord, the
gospel, my friends, and most importantly... I am so grateful for the family
that I have and for all the love and support I have and always receive from you
guys! Super bummed that I will be missing feasting with yall this week but (and
I can’t remember who said this... I think it was Cait) although I won’t be
there we are going to be closer than we have been especially over these first
holidays.
Love you all so much!
And I hope everyone has an amazing Thanksgiving week!
Elder Chipman
