Another Week in AFrIcA!!

So someone told me this week an interesting fact. It goes like this there are 52 weeks in a year, and we are here for two years so thats 104 weeks, so every week that is about 1% of your mission. So sitting here thinking what am I going to write, I say there went 1% of my mission,what do I want to say... Well here is the news for the week. We committed Danic to Baptism, which I am really excited for! He is really grasping thez gospel we are gonig to start teaching his wife this week too! Just ready to take off, I am very blessed to help him know. I really dont know what to say about this week, we had a lot of time to do tracting, and I learned some very personal stuff about this work, it is not mine, its His, when you try to do it on your knowledge, you are going to fail miserably, miserably! Once you humble yourself or get humbled, and turn to prayer with a sincere desire to do His will. AMAZING things happen, somethings I am not going even try to explain, but I want you guys to know that the power of prayer and following through with promptions, no matter how ridiculous they seem, you can do more good than you will ever know!
  We had alot of people come to church this week, new investigators, like 8 new ones! Amazing! We are really excited to blessed like we are, and so fast! But also there is a downside, and an upside we found out wednesday! So randomly, two new missionaries show up this wednesday! Totally out of the blue, just hey there are two new missionaries at the boader that you need to pick up. So now we have two new missionaries, Elder Howard, and Elder Picard. Elder Howard is from Bountiful, UT and Elder Picard is from Tahaiti, yes that right Tahaiti! I was pretty excited that we have an Elder from Tahaiti cause now when I go to Bora Bora I can see someone I know!! I really like both of them... but they took my cartier along with all my invstigators, I still will work with Danic and Serge, but the rest, gone. I really have miwed feelings cause the new cartier is dead, completely dead, and has been for a long time, so its going to get jumpstarted with a stick of Dynamite called Elder Foucher/Lee! A lot of work, but I am sad cause I really have drawn close to the people in my cartier especially my investigators, and its hard to leave them. Oh well just means I get to start over!
Thats about all I have this week I think, so I leave and I hope you guys all had an amazing week and will have an amazing week this week! remember who you are! love ya!

love
