It Almost Makes It Easy

Hey Y'all,

How is everyone this week. My week was pretty good. nbgiza chane. I don't really have too much to say so I just attached the letter I sent to president. it was a good, successful week though.

President Chatfield,

This was another really good week. Yesterday we had interviews for 4 of the people that are having baptisms on the 11th. There are still two others that are being interviewed on Tuesday. All 4 of them did great with their interviews yesterday and are really excited for baptism. I love to see the change that people go through as they come closer to Heavenly Father. It makes everything worth it. It reminds me of my family the past couple of years and what the gospel has done for us to get me and my family to where we are today. 

Yesterday we also met a really good family that shows some real interest in learning about the gospel.The District is doing well. Everyone is working hard and always looking for ways to improve and become the best they truly can be. Thanks.

Notes from Kelly - I did a Google search for "nbgiza chane." and found a blog done by someone who went to Rwanda and it says "Nbgiza. Nbgiza cyane (It’s good, very good)"

Happy Easter!

Hey Everyone,

This was a really good week. I don't really have much to say about it but it was just really good. For Easter we went to the senior couple's house for dinner. They take good care of us. the food was awesome. We also dyed eggs. It was kind of interesting dying brown eggs but we made do. We also watched more of conference. We were able to see most of priesthood session. WOW! that's all I'm going to say about it. It was really powerful. 

As for the pictures. One is of Kivagutu. basically it is rotten milk. the stage between milk and yogurt. It's not too bad but they love it here. There is an investigator that gives it to us every time we teach him. haha.

The other is of me cooking. I figured nobody would believe it. I actually amaze myself on how good of food I can make. haha. not really but it’s still edible. Love you all and I hope things are going well.

Elder Buyers, District Leader

Hello everyone.

It has been another good week. The whole mourning week thing that was going on didn't hurt us as bad as we thought that it might. At time it even gave us a better opportunity. Everyone was so focused on their lost loved ones and we were able to came and tell them how they can see them and even live with them again. 

Saturday we had a zone conference. I learned a lot and now we are just trying to put it to action. We talked about teaching a lesson in a minute. We were given a topic we had to introduce to someone and we only had a minute to introduce ourselves, introduce the topic, give a power statement, and extend a commitment. It was actually kind of hard. We also did this really interesting role play. We had four Elders that were teaching one person in a lesson. We could each only say one sentence at a time. It was really cool to see the unity that formed so fast and also how simple the doctrine was taught because we only had one sentence. It was cool.

Transfer news changed twice after emailing. I am still training but I was also called as district leader. 

Other than that not much happened. Just the usual work. Love you all and hope you have a great week.

Another One Bites the Dust

Hey everyone,

How is it going? Things are going just dandy here. There isn't much to talk about but that''s ok. It is starting to rain a little bit more but not too much yet. The rainy season is supposed to start but now it's mostly just hot.

Another transfer down. Time is just moving. It's not really going fast or slow, it is just going. We got transfer news this morning. I am staying. Elder Ndlovu is going to K1B (the other area in our district. Same house). I am training a new missionary. He will be here on Thursday probably. His name is Elder Mugwadisha from South Africa.  It should be interesting. 

Well I hope you all have a great week. Love ya.
