July 25, 2016......"Elders, I sense something different about you, I like you two"

Hello!

It has been a long week. we have had referrals pouring out of the heavens. we have picked up teaching two older gentlemen this week. brother Mushamba and brother Thembo. bother really good guys and really interested in the church. we also met with some of our recent converts. one of which has 2 more children that we are starting to teach which are both on track to be baptized. we have been walking sooo much and working super hard to try and find more people to teach and it's working quite well. later this week, a young man in the ward has like 4 friends that he wants us to come teach so there are some more people and the branch president's wife has a referral as well. so the area is good. as for now me and Elder Essliflie are the only two missionaries in the entire Kitwe. so this whole city is our area. we have a pretty big area. lol. but everything is good. thanks so much for the stuff in the package. i killed the ramen in like 2 days. loll. but there weren't any glasses or belts. just your scriptures, candy, trousers, my card, seasoning, ramen, and drink flavorings. 

Hello!
so I got my new comp he's pretty chill and we're busting out work. We have one kid set on date for the 7th of August and we hope to put 2 ladies on date for the middle/end of August so we are working hard. The new mission pres is cool. I've only talked to him once so that's about it. we have a lot planned for our area over the next two months. hopefully all goes accordingly. this week was weird. i had a moment of some sort in a lesson with a difficult old man. he started arguing with us and then rather than argue back (which i promise was my first instinct) I sat back and chilled. In the end of the lesson I was able to mention to him that we encourage questions and he was so blown away and impressed cause he realized that we didn't argue with him (he had met some Jehovah's witnesses earlier the day before) and he said "elders, i sense something different about you. i like you two." it was not just  good experience but a learnt lesson for me. sometimes (i really mean sometimes) arguing isn't the answer.
