On 10/21/13, Traci Erickson Hey Brad, How are things going? Anymore baptisms? Is it any hotter or the same?I'm sure it is frustrating to work with leaders that are still learning themselves. I mentioned it to President Spencer. He said the same thing happened to him on his mission. To just be patient and teach with love.Did you get a new area or new companion? We had an open house for the new Stake center on Thursday and Saturday. We had 2 large groups of 8+ people show up from other religions to see the building and ask questions. One of the people that came Thursday came back Saturday and went through the tour again and then took 3 Book of Mormons home with him. The stake presidency told us to keep all of our signs and posters because we may do it again in the next year. I guess it is great for the missionaries to show investigators and to find new investigators. I went to ward conference at the PP6 ward. (the other half of our old ward). It was fun seeing people again and getting caught up. By the way Dallin Zollinger got his mission call to Washington D.C.. He leaves the middle of December. Ethan and Dad spent the morning at BYU so Ethan could earn merit badges. Zach had already earned the ones they had available, so he didn't go this time. This last week went by fast! I guess things are getting back to normal around here. I am getting another package ready to send you. I told the extended family that if they wanted to send you something, that now is the time to get it to me, so it can all be shipped together. *Doubt your doubts before you doubt your believes.
Love, Mom
I guess my name got changed hu, good to know, I guess i will have to inform my mission president so he knows my real name now, hehe JK. We haven't had any more Baptisms lately because a lot has been going on here. But we have a few people that should be baptised soon if they keep going the way they are. It is getting a little hotter now its funny because I know for you its getting COLD and here its getting HOT and I also am back to walking again hehe. At least I will stay in shape still. All is going well still here. I did get Transfered to a new area I am now in a place called Bardege its a great place i am Still inside Gulu just no longer in pece anymore. i did get a new companion his Name is Elder Cunningham yes another person from UT haha. he is almost going home he only has 1 more transfer left after this one. he is great guy and is fun to be around I have to keep him moving for the most part so he wont be lazy but thats alright. The area i am in is good but its REALLY Hard to find new people!!! I also have to learn the area again at the same time but thats they way you learn the area the fastest. Hows the new church Building? How was the ward conference? yeah i wish they didnt have to split us up but the ward was getting to big. Really Dallin is going to have a fun but difficult time for the first few weeks because the place is so HUMID. i remember walking off the plane and being drenched already from all the water in the air. but he will enjoy it. I hope that they had a good time getting their badges there. Cool, i cant wait to get it. hey so one of the elders here doesn't have a camera and so i was wondering if i should give him the one i am using now. He said he doesn't mind dealing with the issues because he will at least have something. Do you want me to give it to him or do you want me to send the camera back home in a package? We went on lock down for a day because of some of the things that are going on here but we are still fine and we still go out teaching we just have to be careful. but its has been a lot of fun here in uganda.
