Cruising Around Africa in a Pick-Up Truck Preachin' the Word, Quantity and Quality and Headed to Blantyre

Hey family we had a great week here in lilongwe! First, On Tuesday I taught my first district meeting lesson which went great and then I went on exchanges with our zone leaders and had a blast with Elder Chartier from Idaho. Just to Merikan boys cruising around Africa in a pick up truck preachin the Word!
In other great news, power came back so we have been cooking and eating like crazy to put some meat back on my bones. My companion made some amazing homemade chapati's ( thick african tortillas) .We also beat our previous record for number of lessons taught in a week. No slowing down for us. What was better is that we had quantity and quality lessons. It's amazing to see how some people are somewhat shy in the beginning but as they start to feel the love of their Savior and start embracing His gospel you really see their joy grow as they build their faith and change their lives.  We had a lesson with a progressing investigator where we where teaching about tithing and he immediately began teaching us about the widows mite and the spirit of giving. I love it when people are taught by the spirit!
  Right now we have six investigators on date for December.! It will be a great month for celebrating our Savior with baptisms.  We are also teaching two 9 year old twins who are so much fun and really smart for their age and are learning a lot faster than we had planned.
 We have also been very fortunate to have members work with us and  in almost every lesson we teach there is a member with us helping us teach. The members are very passionate about helping the missionaries (and providing lunch i was feed nshima three days in a row...I really am a Malawian).  On Sunday I was able to confirm the Majamanda family. That was super spiritual for me. I just love them so much and have seen how much light the gospel has brought them I feel like they will be a very influential strength to the church here in Lilongwe as they are so passionate about  the gospel and really living it as a family. As for this week we head down to Blantyre Thursday morning and will be there till Saturday for our Christmas party/zone conference that my district has a special musical number for which should be interesting seeing as i was blessed with a wonderful singing voice.........oh well i'm really looking forward to it. sorry I dont have alot to say today but i still love you all very much!

happy holidays
