Dear family,

The cops that showed up during our lesson last week were just looking for a guy. He wasn't there...anymore. He had left a couple minutes earlier. It was funny. They just asked if he was there and then left. 

Zone conference was really good. President Wakolo has completely changed the focus of the mission. It was entirely about "Increasing the Spiritual Capacity" of the missionaries. It was really good. We didn't have to memorize the study guide. We barely had time to go through it a little bit. 

We have some good people that we are working with. One is a pastor that we met this week. He says that he has always respected Mormons and how they carry themselves. He thinks that we "exude Christ-like love and qualities" and he wants to know how and why. So we are excited for him. We have some other good families that we are working with right now too. 

The weather actually got hotter this last week. On Saturday the heat index was 112 degrees and Sunday it was 114. We were also on bike week. Elder Allred and I actually couldn't go out in it. We did for awhile, but only until I got heat exhaustion and almost passed out both days. Then we went in. I have been staying hydrated, but I guess that it was just too hot for me. I'm hoping that it doesn't continue. It would really hurt the work if I couldn't bike in it.

That's all for this week. kloveyoubye.

Love, Other Elder Udy
