It was a good week. It was a harder one, as there were a lot of Zone
Leader things that started popping up out of nowhere. We did some
training, some divisions... everything. Numbers weren't the best, but I
had a really really good week.
Now for the success story:
When I was in Cassequele, I had the opportunity to help a family into
the waters of baptism. As we taught them, there was a little girl named
C who wanted to be baptized from the very beginning. However, at
the time, her guardians wouldn't allow it. Afterwords, I left the area.
For a long time, I didn't see her, and it sounded like the missionaries
didn't follow up with her for a while. But she's moved into my area, and
Elder Pimentel and I have a date of baptism set for her! Woo! I'm way
excited for her.
Also, H from Luanda II
baptized his niece! That was super fun to see him again. I noticed that a
lot of people know me here. Hopefully I'll be remembered.
We've been having some obedience problems in our Zone: people staying
home a little late, music that's just a little too fast, etc. Don't any
of you get me wrong: I'm pretty sure the best missionaries in the world
have been sent here. It's just that they can get a little distracted at
times. So we talked with President about it, and we're having a big Zone
Conference in a week. I'm excited. I believe that once I leave, the
missionaries will be able to take over without problems.
Not a whole lot of new news
here... I'm trying to remember anything that was really cool.... but
nothing's coming. But I love you all more than you can know. It's been
hitting me a little bit more lately that I only have 4 and 1/2 tranfers
left. Sometimes I think of home when an airplane flies really close to
the ground. haha. But I've been thinking of you all a lot lately, and
I'm excited to finish strong out here.
I love you all,
Elder Alex Hobbs
