this was another weird week. everyone in our area is becoming unserious. when we started the transfer it seemed like a few people were progressing but now most of them are stopping so we are going to find new people to teach. i have never had so many fall through and so much time to fill in 2 weeks before. also we had MLC on friday, and on saturday spent time at a district priesthood training and in meetings/driving president around (he didnt drive to blantyre this time, he flew so he couldnt drive himself). so we were out of our area a lot towards the end of the week which didnt really help us get our investigators to church on sunday.
the district presidency for Blantyre District was reorganized so we have a new president and 2 good counselors. i am excited about them. the last president had no counselors because one moved out of the country and the other went less active, so the president was doing everything on his own for a while. now they will just have to call an elders quorum presidency (the last one was released a month ago) in our branch and everything will start to move forward really smoothly i think. MLC was pretty good. we mostly talked about the challenges in our zones and how to help missionaries. right now our zone is great. its probably the most obedient zone in our mission. we have a lot of young missionaries who like the work so my companion and I dont have stress. transfers are in 3 weeks. im probably getting transferred. it will also probably be a big transfer so i have no idea where i will go. i hope to stay in malawi for a while, and i want to train a missionary some day but i kind of doubt that will happen.
our recent convert built a little truck out of wires and things and hooked it up to a battery so that it can drive around. its pretty cool. i sent a video of it.
oh ya last week we also helped a member harvest her maize so thats why you see us in a maize field in some pictures i sent. it was fun service. yesterday we helped a member bag charcoal for 15 minutes.
