Week 37

Hi All,
The new area is good! It's super hot here in Masvingo aye! I continue to learn the area and the people are pretty receptive and willing to listen to us. There are 8 missionaries here and in the past there have only been 4. We are all in the same branch and we were told that they want to split the branch so we need to work hard to bring more people to this gospel. There has been no growth of this branch since it became a branch in 1991. There are 500 members but only 100 come to church every week.
Our house here is so nice. I think it is the nicest in the mission. We haven't seen any new wild life here it's pretty much like the last area. People here don't celebrate Halloween they only really celebrate Christmas and Easter. The chocolate sent from home was so good it was nice to have some candy from America.
Our President told us last zone conference to use the Book of Mormon in every lesson that we have and we have been doing that and it is going really well. The Book of Mormon has so much power and it is a convincing power that Joseph Smith was a true prophet. He was called by God to restore the true Church of Christ back to the Earth. I know the Book of Mormon is true and it is here to help us in our day and helps answer the questions that we have in our lives.
