This week we got 1 day to work in our area. Saturday. We had our monthly MLC on Thursday. It was a really great meeting that we had together. A lot of it was more focused towards missionaries but i would like to share a few things from the meeting that I think would be good to share. We watched a video by Elder Uchtdorf and here are a few things he said that i liked. He said how as missionaries we are here to make true disciples of Jesus Christ. Go study and look at what a disciple of Jesus Christ really is. It has a great meaning for me. Also he talked about how referrals are important to get from members. But we "cant take the responsibility away from each missionary of becoming a fisher of men." He also stated "Should we fail at the first 2 and great commandments, we will not be successful in building the kingdom of God." It was a really great MLC and i learned a lot. Luckily i still have one more left on my mission. At MLC i also got to meet a new senior couple to the mission. Elder and Sister Turner. They are from Birmingham, England! I talked with them a lot and one of the nights they shared stories with us and we talked about England. What a place. They kind of opened up my mind a little bit and gave me some new thinking. They are such a great couple. I love people from England! They are like my old English grandparents. Traveling back from MLC was (and always is) a blast. Its so fun to travel for 8 hours with Elder Fraga, Ntlebi, and Bigirindavyi. We have all become such good friends and just laugh and talk the whole time. As well as we contacted the people around us and got them in on some fun as well. We traveled to Eldoret and the next day had a spectacular correlation meeting with President Kogo (the district President). He submitted the stake papers and are hoping at the beginning of November Eldoret will be a stake. We did our meeting a little bit different and we all brought up concerns or ideas for how we can improve and counciled about them together or what we each thought. It was a really nice meeting and it was good to see that he even had a full page of notes of things he can do or whatever he was writing. But a full page of notes none-the-less. As i said we only got 1 day to work in our area because on Sunday we had to travel again all day to do some baptismal interviews, which is always an experience that i enjoy to have. But we met with our investigator Isaac and read some of the Book of Mormon with him. We are really focusing on that with everyone here. Because both Elder Big and I saw a huge change in Mombasa when we focused on that there, and from what the missionaries there say, they still do that and it has a big lasting impact. We also met with Racheal, Sharon, and Barbra. We left them to read the Book of Mormon story book and they DID!! They are great RC's. They have really come to enjoy reading it and when we asked them to explain what they read they did almost perfectly! I am really trying hard to just enjoy each and every last thing that comes my way on my mission. What an experience it has been so far and what an experience it will continue to be! Love you all, Elder Merz
