Mukono, Uganda October 14, 2013

Mommy, I’m doing fine. Getting more and more adjusted every day. I also

miss you more and more every day! I really miss your kafoomba or

cooking haha

 

End of the first transfer yesterday! We get transfer news tomorrow, so

I may be leaving Mukono! But I doubt it. This is a really hard area.

They call it the missionary slayer. A lot of missionaries get sent

home or go home while serving in this area.. I would like to transfer

haha This is a dead area, everyone says it should be closed for a few

years.

 

Ugandans are the kings of false advertising! Example. A restaurant will

have pictures of French fries, burgers, chicken, all this great stuff.

You go in, all they have is Rice beans and mutoka..

 

Calvin's new corner 7-11

 

 

There is a lot of American clothing here. Like people are wearing a

shirt of an American restaurant. One guy we talked to was wearing a

Five Guys shirt, we asked him about it and he had no idea what we were

talking about. A lot of Disney stuff here to even though these kids

have never seen Disney movies.

 

Almost got arrested this week while tracting. So big expensive houses

are usually inside gated compounds with guards. We opened the gate to

one and walked in, not seeing the guard booth. All the sudden he was

yelling at us in Luganda, shoving his AK47 in our faces, and shoved us

out of the property.. with our hands up and everything it was pretty

scary! this is NOT common, the guy that lives there must be pretty

important/rich.

 

I feel really homesick if I’m not doing anything.. So I try to keep

And try to keep myself as busy as possible if I have any free time whatsoever I read, or clean like a maniac. Just keeps my mind occupied.

 

I really miss church, a stable functional ward.. We do everything

here. Sacrament, gospel principles, Priesthood, I give the rhythm (Calvin’s word for lead the music. Haha Did I teach him nothing?) for

all the hymns and I teach primary as well.. It’s a lot of hard work..

It’s like having 15 callings.. Don’t take church for granted! Last

Sunday I taught Primary about the Nauvoo temple! And Once again my

Mommy sent a miracle. There was a picture of the family standing in

front of the Nauvoo temple that you sent with me in the magazine. The

kids loved it. There is about 10 kids total in the primary.

 

 

Calvin said, that this sweet little girls comes and finds them every day.

 

 

 



 

 

Another rat story.

So we came in last night and saw the Big momma rat, we chased her all

around but she got away. Then not 2 minutes later we found the other

one. We chased it into the other elder’s room. But couldn’t find it..

After 30 minutes of searching we check the subwoofer. Bingo! Fond it!

So we scare it out then elder Hall threw his shoe and BAM dead! Got

it! hahah

 

Well I’m just about out of time again, Mom and Dad, thank you so much

for all of your support.

 

I love you all so so much!

 

Elder Bennion!
