Elder Moss

Hey family - how are you doing? Well, it's been another week and I am not dead so that is just a great thing right? I have survived another week here in Africa. So I have decided that I won't make it another transfer in a single man box. I am asking president for a transfer out of
this apartment or I am going to lose my mind, not that I already haven't. Thank you for all your support and love that you show for me.  So I miss Elder Lowe.  My new companion always tells me to just figure it out! I am like just tell me what to do.  Ugh, man he hides stuff from me and makes me try to learn on my own.  It is sure a good thing that president is coming and I will get an interview this Wed or I would die because I am up to here with it.

My week it has been really crazy.  It is funny how some people can rely on you so much to do things. So I have been working hard on getting
people baptized and I have told you about the Bens family.  Well, I  got to baptize them this weekend and also comfirm them so it was a little crazy to be able to have to do all that work.  Man sometimes missionary work can be tough. Had to get talks and make sure everything was prepared. Sunday was good.  I  had the opportunity to lead music, bless the sacrament, confirm 3 people, ordain one to a priest, teach investigator class and visit with 3 new people.  Oh ya by myself cause my companion was in another place for the day.  I met some people from Kaysville, UT so that was cool.   She said that she is going to talk to you sometime this week.

Studies have been good.  I found out what a lot of numbers and colors mean in the Bible. So we should be having 4 more baptisms this weekend and 4 more the next.  We are teaching this guy he is pretty cool and he will be baptized really soon.  His wife is kinda weird though she always runs away from us.

I am getting my shirt tailored today.  He is taking off like 15 inches so thats cool.  I guess that I need to still lose more weight though because I constantly get reminded that I am a fat white man. It is nice that people are so caring ha. In sacrament meeting something new happened. I never thought that I would see a speaker stop talking and text then continue speaking but wow!  This branch needs work!  There were 21 people at the begining of sacrament meeting and over 100 at the end.  Africa, they don't understand time. I also don't understand how they can breast feed in sacrament meeting and not feel weird about it.   Ugh, man people here have like no morals.  Investigators class was good though, I just taught them the plan of salvation, very easy to teach. I really have decided that Christ was such an awesome example to all of
us.  I  like John 19: 26- 30.  It talks about how the last thing he did before he died was take care of his mother and thats how it should be. I really like this poem.

Backward, flow backward o tide of the years
I am so worry of toils and of tears
Tired of hollow the base,the untrue
Mother o mother my heart calls for you...
Over my heart, in the days that are flown
No love like a mother love has ever shown..
None like a mother can charm away pain
From the sick soul and the world weary brain.
Slumbers soft calms o're my heavey lids creap
Rock me to sleep, mother rock me to sleep

I really like this because when I am feeling down, Mom, I know that you are always there for me. And so is the rest of the family. So mom thanks for your help.  So I don't have much else to say except that I am doing ok and I will make it.  Work is good and it is going like crazy.  I love all you guys. 
 
Till next week, much love from Elder Kevin Moss
 
PS  Hows caden? Hope he is good.  Love that guy!
