I love my new area. We are assigned to Sibunga area who meets in a meeting house that is really nice and the Argaw group that meets on the front porch of a member’s house. It is so cool to be part of a group. They have no leader, no callings, no dedicated building, just the missionaries to lead them. We conduct all of the Sunday meetings, of which there are only two, sacrament meeting and Sunday school. We also play a big part in the Sibunga branch. We go to Sibunga services on Sunday morning and then to Argaw afterward. Last Sunday Both Elder Ibay and I spoke in sacrament meeting in Sibunga and I taught gospel doctrine, both of which I got asked to do about 5 minutes before the meetings started. Then in Argaw Elder Ibay conducted and spoke in sacrament meeting and I bore testimony. Then I ended up teaching Sunday school there too. It was a busy Sunday. I loved it so much. The office couple, Elder and Sister Ernstrum are assigned to go to church in both of the areas so they help out a lot, but they don’t speak or understand Cebuano, so that limits what they can do.
I messed up last week in my email. Elder Neilson of the seventy is coming to our zone conference tomorrow, not Russell M. Nelson. But Russell M. Nelson is coming to the mission at the end of May, so I will get to hear him just before I go home. That will be really exciting.
Take care. Sure love you all,
Elder Schenk
