Well, another great and exciting week has gone by here in
Francistown! The new branch I am working in, Gerald, is exploding,
seriously! The first week, last week, we had 85 people in
attendance,and this week, by my count, we had 134!!! I still don't
know how we all managed to fit. People were sitting outside, and
standing outside. The field is truly white here in Gerald, my mission
president was right. It is just too exciting to witness. It was
funny because after church my companion and I were talking, and were
amazed with the number of people that came to church, yet we were
talking about how many people were missing in action. There should
have been so many more than that, so I really don't know what we will
do next week, because we anticipate even more to come. We are having
a meeting today with President Pouslen, over skype (technology is
amazing!), to discuss the options. The Lord really has His hand in
the work here, and I will be forever grateful to be a part of it. I
really can't take any credit for any of the good happening here. I
just get to be the lucky one to see it progress so quickly. I am sad
it will only be for six weeks. The branch president here says they
begged and begged for missionaries for over five years! Now he has
ten missionaries, and not enough room for all the people that want the
blessings of this gospel. These people have been waiting for this for
a very long time. Patience, it is all about patience, and then when
we continue in faith, and patience, the Lord really blesses us, and
there literally will not be room enough to receive it, just as He
promises in malachi. I have literally been able to see this promise
fulfilled, there literally is not room enough to recieve all of these
people that are ready and willing to accept this gospel. So, next
week I should have more updates about how we are going to handle the
blessings here in Gerald. But until then, I will just continue to
work hard, and do the Lord's will in the Lord's way.
