Do I have to learn Swahili?

I hope you all saw hat heading, because it might happen! haha We've been teaching this girl named Bi--- (she is so awesome and agreed to be baptized on August 12!), and in the same complex there is a family that moved straight from Uganda about two weeks ago! Only one of the three daughters speaks a little English, and that's it! They speak Swahili, but they always sit on the stairs when we go over to teach Bianca. We got a Book of Mormon today in Swahili, and we are going to give it to them! Pray for them because they are so cool!

his week was kind of hard, yet liberating! We dropped V------, and then about 5 minutes later I---- and her family dropped us. V---- and his family just weren't keeping commitments and showing that they were really wanting to know for themselves. It was SO HARD, but it was the right thing to do. They told us to come back in the future to check up on them. Then Inez and their family....well it's a weird situation. Let's just say they aren't interested right now. :(

The P----- family is doing great though! They started reading the Book of Mormon! YYYYEEESSSS!!!! We are so excited! Their family and Bianca (which are practically neighbors) are all going to come to church next week :) WE ARE SO EXCITED!

We didn't really get to celebrate the 4th of July, but we got to help set up and then take down a festival in Oldtown! so that was fun! We also received training for the new app we are going o get on our iPad so that all of our paper records will be transferred to digital formatting. In other words- this goat boy is entering into the digital age!!!!! haha

I want everyone to go watch the Mormon Message, What Matters Most. My favorite quote that the Prophet Thomas S. Monson says is, "Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved." THIS IS SO TRUE! There are so many problems that we have no control over, but God does. He will prepare our paths! All we need to do is have faith and repent! Love every person you see. Sounds easy right :) Let's go do it!

I love you all! I can feel your prayers! You help me so much every day!
