Hello Family!
Its been a great week here in Makeebka! We had transfers this week and we were told that they are taking us out of our apartment and moving us into another one already be rented by the mission. This is great because that means we will have a shower, heaters, and washer for our clothes!!! Woopie!:) We now have only 4 elders here instead of 6 so we are covering 2 areas now which means we will be doing alot of riding on buses. We have alot of members though so it will be great to be able to work with them. It will also help me with the language and teaching lessons which is great. We also have two investigators that have been meeting with missionaries for a while who quite suddenly wanted to be baptized! they seem pretty solid! One has a family too which is great because that is exactly what our branch needs. We did alot of tracting this week when we had time and were able to get in a few times which was great. We went across the river near our old apartment to some buildings that hadn't really been touched by us or the Jehovah Witness's so it was great because we were able to then talk to a bunch of people. We hope that those people get back to us soon but we are not sure if any were quite that interested. We hope and pray that they were. Sometimes its pretty crazy and perhaps a little overwhelming to think about the importance of the message we bring and share with the people. Soo many people have not heard or felt the happiness we have felt the happiness that we feel and it makes you want to share the message we have just that much more. We also had the chance to sign board this week in to centers of two areas which was soo much fun! i gave away my first Book of Mormon and held a few conversations with people which felt so good to be able to do. We got alot of contacts to find later which was also great. We had 3 elders singing hymns by the sign board while the other 3 handed out pamphlets and brochures and talked to people. It was a great success and i think we will be doing it alot more now that we have a sign board to present. Well my times up but thanks for all you do family and i hope all is going at home. Congratulations to the Koffords and their son Devin!!! i cant wait to see pictures! I love you all and i hope to send some pictures soon, its just been a kinda strange transfer :)
With Love,
~Elder Ostler
