The first thing i HAVE to say is i found a long lost treasure in one of my suitcases! So waaaay back when i was in Eldoret with the best couples ever, the Pehrsons, they gave us missionaries in Eldoret some cake Sister Pehrson calls 1,2,3 cake. You basically put like 3 scoops of the mix, 2 tablespoons of water, and cook for 1 minute in the microwave. BOOM! IT WORKS!!! And we have had some cake this week in celebration of some hard work and good days! What a blessing the Pehrsons have been in my life and they're legacy lives on! One thing i have come to dislike is people who waste my time. Some people we planned to meet with said that they would come FOR SURE and then never show up. When we try to call them their phone is off....come on guys i did not travel all the way from America to come here and play around. I have a very limited time! Oh well, try to be nice and keep a positive attitude. We have had some miracles and blessings this week. Like honestly this last week has been one of the best weeks! We met with Elias twice and had 2 really great lessons about the restoration with the help of the branch mission leader. He is understanding well about the Restoration and is in the category of a "kingdom builder" which is who we are looking for! We also got 3 referrals for one of my best friends here in Mautuma, Simon. They are 3 of his really good friends who work super close to where we stay and are so so great!! We met on Sunday after church with them and they stay RIGHT NEXT to the chapel! We got another friend there so we had a verrrry powerful lesson about the Restoration with those 4 and Simon helping us. Interestingly enough they all go to different churches but again, they are all in the kingdom builder category. (The kingdom builder category consists of these characteristics. Self-reliant, between ages 18-30, English speakers, potential priesthood holders, have a family) These 4 guys fit all of them except the family part. One is a teacher, one is a medic, one owns a shop, and the other i forgot...BUUT they are all super humble and prepared by the Lord for us! I am super excited about them if you cant tell! On Sunday Barbra also got confirmed and i baptized Baraka! He is such a great boy! I felt so honored to baptize him. We met with the parents and him and really requested that the father baptize him, but he was insistent that i baptize him! What an honor to keep that moment in time together with him. The week has been the best! Mautuma is really booming! We had loots of people there at church and i could notice that we were still missing some people! We have lots of really really great people we are teaching, as well as lots of help from members! The zone also had an incredible week! I think it was the best week for the zone combined in the whole year!! I love being a missionary! Love from ya Bush Man, Elder Merz
