Learning to Lead is Hard

HOLLLLYYYYY I’m tired! But everything is good and going well. I hope you all are doing well and stay blessed! Let's just hop into this week before I lose my mind.

Feb 2nd (last P Day) 

I got a well needed haircut, and it was nice! The guy cut me up better than the guy in Adama where I was before this transfer.  It was for some reason a lot cheaper!!!! It is nice to have my haircut by people who have hair like mine.  I'll definitely go back before I leave this place. 

My new haircut.

Today was a very productive day! Went to Getahun’s house who's a member and he was very nice to have us in his home! He told us he will bring someone to church! We went finding for a little bit then went to Tuts house to end the day.

Mission Leaders Conference today! I got the second one under my belt! And I realized a lot of things on how I want to improve missionary work! I love the Lord and his work. I talked to the Mission President on what I should do to accomplish these things. And he said keep pushing keep going and be you! Put your foot down with your companions.  This has been VERY difficult as we do things very differently and they are not as obedient to the rules as I believe they should be.  I am really struggling with this, and it has caused me to have feelings that are not good towards them.  I am working on this.

This is all of the leaders in the mission at the Mission Leaders Conference.

Good day! Work got done! We taught Tuts brother. We were supposed to teach another lesson, but it fell through. And I’m slowly losing my mind.  It is hard getting people to follow through and show up to appointments that they schedule.  We will wait and wait and they never show up. But tomorrow is a new day!

It was a good day. We got lessons! Member visits! And so many good things that were happening! 

Feb 7

Today was buuuuussssyyyyy! I loved it! Many lessons. And had another amazing lesson with Tuts brother! His name is Keek and he brought two people! One person didn’t like us and tried to ask us a stupid question. But after we destroyed him gospely his friends started dissing on him in Nuer (their language which is a different tribal language in Ethiopia), so it was awesome. At the end of the day, it was the first time it has rained in Ethiopia since I have been here.

Feb 8

Amazing church, good attendance and overall busy stuff happening! Accounting and amazing things. Taught members what ministry was and how they could help us! It was some good stuff. 

Feb 9

Today we got a ZONE P DAY. I'll be honest, it’s alright. Poorly planned on my part and I wish I planned a lot better. But I’m working my best on listening to people’s suggestions and all of that. So, I’ll let you all how it goes next week! 

Chow!
