One Year Celebration of Angola, Luanda mission!! |
At the Mission home...One year celebration!! |
I miss you guys so much but I know that here is work here to do! We are getting a lot more Elders now from Mozambique and as of now no new Americans have been called as they are still having problems with the Visas. It looks like we will have 12 new Elders from Mozambique coming in!!

We have also been working with a man from the Congo, he does not speak Portuguese very well so it is hard for him to come to church because of the language barrier but luckily there are a lot of people in the Branch who speak French. His name Dom, which is gift in Portuguese. He had all of the Hymns on the TV and he turned it up really loud and as he was leaving the house we could hear the Hymns throughout the neighborhood and it was really cool. It brought a light into the neighborhood in Angola, super Awesome.
Riley that is so great that you learned a lot more about Joseph Smith at EFY ! We have been playing soccer as a branch on P-days and it is great because it brings everyone closer together.

The temperature is still very cool over here as we are in the winter season, and it has been very nice!
So a great experience that I had recently was with Carlos he came back into the church after he had been drinking for while. We told him that we would pass by everyday to make sure that he was on the right track. We had an awesome visit with him on Sunday and his family. We talked about the Restoration and he began to tell his wife about the restoration and I talked about how the plates were translated and it was such an awesome lesson. It was a great experience.
On another note our shopping center, Shoprite burnt down so now we will have to find another way to do our shopping.
I miss running on the track with Brother Hedengren and Brother Huntsman and getting up at 5. I know there will be time for that later...but right now its my time to serve.
I love you all,
Elder Dunkley
