The internet here really, really
stinks, so I hope that I will be able to send you guys an email this week! This
week was a really good one for us here at Pointe Noire! We got our transfer
letters and it turns out that my companion will be leaving for Cameroun and he
will be working in the sector that I left! And now I will be working with Elder
Tchinbanda which I am really looking forward to! I heard he is a great Elder,
but unfortunately he will be leaving at the end of this transfer! But this
transfer affected a lot of people. Only 4 people stayed and 6 left, so things
are going to change a lot! Elder Beutler and Mandefu went home and it was
really sad to see them go! It seems like everyone that you meet on your mission
should just stay a missionary until the end of their lives!
This past
Monday we were able to go to the beach as a zone and eat and just have some fun
and it was really awesome! We were able to just relax a little bit and talk as
missionaries so it was a lot of fun.

This email won't be too long because we
were held in the apartment for all of Friday due to some things and it was such
a long day! It's weird how now all I think about is missionary work all I wanna
do is missionary work and even all I dream about is missionary work. It's really
weird; honestly I have no idea what it is like to be a regular person!
But this
week was a really good week. We were able to meet with John and his wife
Laticia and it was really awesome! We set a baptismal date with them, which
is the 11th of July and we are so excited for it! During this last Sunday, John got
up and talked about how he has found peace and love in the church and he has
finally found a place where he can stay. It was such an awesome experience and
something that I will remember forever!
Also, we had the baptism for Dechris and
it was really awesome! He bore his testimony after and it was really awesome.
It's so cool as a missionary to see how people change their lives and as they do
so, to live in accordance with the Gospel, that they find happiness. He asked
me to give him the gift of the Holy Ghost and it was really nerve racking, but I think
that I did a good job! It was such an honor to do this for him and I will
always remember this.
As a missionary, I have really learned the importance of
all these things and being an instrument in the grand plan of God has been such
an honor. We are all so imperfect, yet through God we can be made strong. I have
loved seeing how now that I understand all this, that I can see the hand of
God in everything! Even when things are tough, we know that one day they will
be light.
I took the challenge to read the Book of Mormon in a month and I
started Tuesday and now I'm in Mosiah 25, I think, and as I read, I love seeing how
if we simply keep the commandments, that we are blessed. God doesn’t ask for a
ton of things, He just asks that we love Him enough to keep his commandments.
Well that's all for this week folks! Thank you so much to
all the people who sent me letters! I got them from Hannah, Sister Unrast,
Megan E., and Troy and Jamie! I love them all..thank you so much! Also, congrats
to my little brother on graduating and good luck in the Shrine Bowl! Go get one
for the South! I love you all so much! Someone go eat some mac and cheese for
me!
Love,
Elder Legerski
