Working Hard

 Editor's note:  When Facebook hit it's popular phase with teens, I was very skeptical about my kids Facebook "friends" and connecting with people they didn't even know.  My words have come back to bless me....I had another missionary mom reach out to me with a picture of Mark and her son, Elder Brewerton.  It's the first picture we have had in several weeks!  Can't be a Facebook hater any longer!

 And now from Elder Massey:

Well, not much to say this week. Things kind a went a little crazy. We got some random transfers out of nowhere. Both our Zone Leaders got transferred to different areas, so we have new Zone Leaders. Elder Barton will be my new Zone Leader again, and I also have an Elder Cunningham as the other Zone Leader. Sadly, Elder Brewerton got affected in the transfers and he's gone to Lusaka now. It's a real bummer.

Because of transfers, we were kind of out of the loop a little bit. We tried our best to get things done in the area, but unfortunately things didn't shape up for us just because of the transfers and what not. On the lighter side though, Prisca passed her interview and she was baptized yesterday. Her boyfriend Peter was able to come up from Blantyre and perform the baptism himself! It was awesome to have him there for such a big moment in his girlfriend's life. It was looking like for the longest time that he might not be able to make it. It was the highlight of the week to have him there.

Last of all, we had an all day service activity at a member's field. His name is Ackras. He's finishing his maize harvest and needed us and the ZLs to help quicken the pace as people were stealing his crop, so he wanted to haul it all back to his place where the maize would be safe and sound. It was so funny too coming back the last trip. Some neighbors of his came to help as well, and we had to cram them all in the back of the truck, which was crammed halfway up with maize. I forgot to bring a camera, so I don't have a picture to show of it, but it was quite something.

Hopefully with everything settling down now we'll be able to do some good in the area. Now that we've finished with Prisca, we need another person to work on to get baptized, time to get back to finding!
