No, I was not waiting at my computer for his email to come in.  Well, maybe I was.  Actually, I most definitely was. And it paid off.  When Aldste Kilton emailed, I saw it immediately and replied.  He saw it and we "chatted" via email for a few minutes until the laundry was done.  He is finding some hard things, comparing himself to other missionaries for example. And he is finding joy.  He got to sing in the MTC choir this week and they sang Jesus Once of Hunble Birth by James C Kasen.  He felt close to home.  Thank you to each of you for sharing your own special gifts in your own special way.  Comparing yourself to another is unfair and unproductive.  If we are given to His work in His way all will be well.

Here is his post for this week.

Hey Ni (y'all)
Another week has passed and i am really getting excited!
we are currently teaching 4 undersokare (investigators) through our
district their names are
Stale. (stol-e) Marc, Boakai, Leo. I am teaching Marc and Boakai after
getting Stale to commit to baptism it is only practice investigators
but still!!!
Friends i have learned alot in two weeks. mostly about the Saviors
love for his children. This last Tuesday we sang in the MTC choir.
(did any of you do that?) our director said something to the effect of
"the war is happening and you have been called to the Battlefront.
This is a war over people. you are the army of the Lord Jesus Christ
and you will not fail Him. so when i sing BEHOLD a royal army. I See
you. The more than 1000 missionaries sitting in front of me. "
Friends this has been the coolest thing for me. one of my favorite
hymns is onward christian soldiers one of the verses reads "Like a
royal army moves the church of God onward then ye people join our
happy throng we are not divided all one body we. one in HOPE and
DOCTRINE, one in Charity. onward christian soldiers marching as to war
with the cross of Jesus going on before.

Christ leads this work. He leads all of us. His light and love is what
i am here to share with the people in sweden but also with me. I am
more firm in my belief in my faith in Jesus Christ and of His
Atonement. I love my Savior. I know he Loves all of you. seek his
light and love in your life by seeking to help those around you and i
promise you feel see a change i know i have. In the name of my eternal
Savior,Lord and King Jesus Christ Amen.
Watch and Pray
