The week was up in the air and floated away like a balloon. So on Tuesday Elder Bandi arrived here in the middle of the day so almost our whole day that day was ruined because it can take some time to travel between different parts of our areas and so we had to stay close by. So we went and did some contacting basically all day. Elder Mathemera, Elder Breidenbaugh, and I. Wednesday we had DDM in Likoni which was very very good. We set very specific goals and are going to be accountable to each other. I have learned to really love setting goals and achieving them, or doing all i can to achieve them! But after DDM we waited FOREVER to catch the Ferry back to the other side and then I had to go do an interview for the Changamwe Elders waaaaaaaaay out in there area. Like the farthest place! With the traveling to get there and the interview and traveling back to our area. We arrived back in our area at 7:15. So that was our whole day. Thursday was a pretty good day. We had some lessons and did some great contacting and are finding some new people to meet with and teach! Friday was another halfday in our area because I had to do an interview for the Likoni Elders at 6:30 so we also had to stay the night with them. Saturday was a great day. We met with some of our investigators and we went and visited a member Sister Lydiah. She is super nice and self-reliant and actually had some good questions we had no idea the answers too!! She was the first person to also offer me some juice or ICE CREAM! Believe it or not we took the juice! Sunday was the best day of the week though!! We got a new investigator. Had 3 full and very very good spiritual lessons and they all learned a lot! I really love our investigators and am seeing the miracles of the Lord working though these people. With this girl Glory I learned to sometimes shut up. Sorry for the harsh words but sometimes i get to excited to reply that i dont get the whole message or point they are trying to get across. But i was quiet and the spirit worked in all of us in that fantastic lesson! This week will be a much better week. I love being a missionary and helping others to answer the questions of there soul. Or even to help them receive answers to there prayers. I have a strong love for everyone here. Christian, Muslim, anything. They all have touched my heart and I look forward to every morning going out in the super hot being cooked and fried all day just to even help one person!! Kwaheri nakupenda, Elder Merz
