Dear everyone,
Hello yet again! Things in Zambia are good. Elder Tibagalika and I have been spending a lot of time tracting and then some more tracting and then a bit more. We've pretty much dropped our entire teaching pool (which was enormous, but full of "jokers" as you might say) and we now are starting from scratch again. We knocked tons of doors this week. It's so interesting that now I look at my old area (Kitwe) and I realize how much easier it was to find people who would listen and keep commitments. It's so easy to see that success in missionary work is a gift from the Lord. We are just praying that we can qualify for the Lord's help to find the right people.
Mom, you asked if the area here is more affluent than Kitwe, and the answer is yes, but not by a whole lot. People just love to spread rumors about us and people in general are quite afraid of us (though they don't show it usually).
Our zone song this transfer is An Angel From On High (#13) but we're singing it to the tune of Rejoice, The Lord is King (#66). It should be quite powerful. I'm conducting it.
Yesterday at church Benson Kanyembo showed up in the middle of sacrament meeting. He was a recent convert I worked with a lot in Kitwe and he was in Lusaka for the baptism of his older brother so he decided to come visit me in Chainama branch. It was great to see him and talk to him about how Kitwe is doing. He said that Sister Loveness Katongo (who I taught when I was there) is now the first counselor in the Relief Society presidency. That's wonderful news to hear. I guess Donald Manjimela is doing alright, though he travels alot and as a result, misses church sometimes. It's nice to hear about old areas. Benson is now preparing to serve a mission and will be a powerful missionary for sure.
I love you all very much and I love being a missionary of the Lord's gospel today. Have a great week everyone!
Elder Mckay Moline
P.S. I'm sorry my emails are so lame nowadays. What do you want me to talk about? Feel free to ask me more questions and things so I have some more things to write about.
