Família,
Greetings from Luanda 2! The
largest area in the mission! It was a week of work. It was kind of
hard, I won't lie. But this week is going to be awesome. Elder Castleton
and I have been focusing super hard on exact obedience lately, and it
is paying off. I feel so good. It's also giving me a lot of faith to
find new people and set up the area for success.
The week was very slow, so
there's not a lot to write about. We taught only 11 lessons, and many
people weren't all too receptive. Elder Castleton and I have a game plan
to start sifting through the people that just aren't ready now, and to
go and qualify contact for new, prepared people. We're also going to
put a focus on just 2 of our main areas, and leave all the others for
future work. We have to lay a strong foundation fast, but carefully.
But I'm starting to have my
''Africa moments'' again. I just love to walk around and see things that
would never happen in the States. For example:
drum music 24/7, red dirt roads, street vendors, 86 degree weather (or
hotter), 0 English signs, animals running around, BIG DUSTY SUNSETS,
jungle trees, imbondeiros, funge, and anything else you can't imagine.
It's starting to feel like home (but I'll always miss you guys and our
home).
I'm doing well. I pulled out
40$ for some extra food, just like you asked, mom. But I'm hoping to
see some more meals from members soon. I've heard good things of this
branch, and they've put up a sign in the foyer to feed the missionaries.
Our branch split yesterday.
It was the first branch in Angola to split. It was really neat, because
Elder Bricknell of the 70 made a prophecy that with concerted effort, we
could have a branch here within 2 years! It was cool.
I'm doing well, I miss you all, and I hope that you all feel better! I pray for y'all, and I LOVE YOU!!!
Elder Alex Hobbs
