The week we got a whopping 1 day to work in our area, Wednesday. It was a really great day none-the-less. But wow. We took like the only car that goes to mautuma, we hopped in and hopped it would take us to somewhere where we could get to Eldoret faster. Luckily it worked out really nicely and we got to Eldoret in 90 minutes! We had our interviews with President Msane and the next day our Zone conference. Somethings that stuck out for me is how when we pray, we must pray with real intent. That means that you are willing to act and submit to the will of God no matter what the answer may be. Whether it is a yes, no, or wait. I also liked the quote from President Benson that says "Vision without work is a dream; work without vision is a drudgery; work coupled with vision is destiny." We went and visited some members from Eldoret that i missed a lot. One in particular was sister Jane and her family. They were all super excited and happy to see me. We got fed and played/talked with the kids. It was seriously so nice. We also went and taught a really cool blind lady who is investigating the church in Huruma. SO we got to work with Elder Fraga and Ntlebi. It was a super cool experience! She even has a Book of Mormon in brail that somehow we were able to get here! We had our district conference and it was really cool to be able to see some people from mautuma be sustained to receive the Melchizedek priesthood! The talks that were given were very powerful and if the members apply the things that they talked about and learned, we will see great progress in the branches here in the Eldoret district. Thats about it for the week! Have a great week all! Love you! Sincerely, Elder Merz
