Mawwaige is what bwings us togeva today

Ahhh That's so awesome! So excited for those events that have been taking place! That whole day Saturday was kind of distracting. I kept looking at the temple magazine and a picture of the Salt Lake sealing room, and kept thinking, They're probably in there right now! That's good. I'm happy and looking forward to meeting everyone.
Today starts a new transfer. I am finally being taken out of Rwanda. I leave on Thurs. and it probably wont be easy. This has been my home for the last nine months and I love it and the people so much. But I'm going to a place in Uganda called Mbale. I will be reopening an area that had been closed for a bit. And I will be training. I don't know anything about who it is yet. But do you know what that means? Reopening, white-washing again, training, and all in a foreign country for the both of us. This is gonna be big. Also Elder Er, whose training I just finished is going to be training here as well. We had a good transfer. We worked hard and didn't get to see a whole lot happen this transfer but really prepared the area for this new transfer. We've met some great, prepared people.  
Besides all this, I went to church alone yesterday. Elder Em was sick, so my companion had to take him to the hospital. So I was with one of the members all day. I also gave a talk again. Just before we were walking out the door I got a call saying the person that was supposed to talk that day couldn't make it, so they asked me. Talked about prophets and it went well and I was the time-filler at the end so I had to extend to like 20 minutes. But it's becoming easier. Just wrote down a couple scripture references while I was waiting, then just spoke. 
 
Love you!
