60 Weeks in Angola Sept

Ola Minha Familia!!
So this week flew by, let me see if I can remember
anything.
I think just the cool thing that happens is that me and
Elder Merkley have been having small little cool miracles every day. Like we’ll
make a cool contact and forget to get his number or name , and then they’ll
call us back, or we’ll be looking for a house in a area we don’t know and the
first random door we knock is that right person. Its just amazing the miracles
that make every day worthwhile, and one of our families who are waiting on
marriage finally the dad got a job this week, he’s been unemployed, since January
and this week he got a really good oil platform job. So that’s really
cool.
Other than that I can’t really think of any specific things
that happened to us this week. We were out of power and our generator didn’t
work all week so we had to sleep with the doors open and all the mosquitoes
loved my blood. Over 75 mosquito bits just on my left arm,,, I didn’t have a
net over my bed, but it’s ok because we have energy now.
We had an awesome zone conference this week with all the zones
combined and got a ton of really cool training from our zone leaders. All about
less active and new convert work. That’s a lot of what Merkley and I do. Small
growing branch!
But ya one of the quote I loved was from President Merrill
talking about sometimes as missionaries we just plant seeds to be harvested
later by other elders with baptisms, but he said, " some plant, and some
harvest, but we ALL reap the blessings in heaven." I loved that. No matter
where we go or what we do we always have to be missionaries and set a good
example as a seed, you never know when it will be harvested for salvation!
We got to go to the orphanage today and it was amazing I
sent pictures. I love African babies/kids!!
Hope you all have amazing weeks. Let your light’s so
shine!!! but remember, we are not the light! Only the conduits that the lord
shines through! SO GO BE CONDUITS!!!!!!!!!!! love you all
have a good week!
com muito amor e beijos,
elder montgomery
ps dad and mom just before I forget make sure you take
pictures of the fhe tomorrow so I can see next week! I wanna see who
I recognize.
