So you are all wondering why my title this week is African blood. Well I got stuck witha needle this week. Well it was last week but I forgot to tell ya. Yep thats right, in AIDS ridden Africa I got stuck by a needle! Isnt everyone else excited as I am? Maybe I should explain.... Well first of all I am offically a citizen of Benin,Africa. Dual citizen if the US and Benin, so anyone who says I am not African I can show them my resident card! It is pretty cool! That was the reason I had to get stuck by a needle, to get tested for AIDS, I hoped I passed! Dont worry the vodo lady said it was a clean needle, she even used soap! I okay okay before my mom passes out it was a clean needle at a government hospital and I made sure it was a clean needle right from and unopened box! Everyone was making a big deal of it but really it wasnt at all, i can now tell a good story that I got my blood drawn in Africa, hey its better than a amateur nursing student who was digging around for mine... I an just kidding the guys couldnt even find my vien which I thought was pretty ridiculous, i had to show him which one. Dont worry mom, everything is fine!!!!!!!!
This week was a very rewarding and uplifting week for us cause Danic was Baptised!!!! It was an a amazing experience! He really has grasped the gospel and taken off with it! I will send a picture later. But i dunno, Danic is just like the perfect investigtor, understnads well and when he doesnt he asks questions, keeps his commitments and more importantly, LIVES the gospel! From the man he was when I met him until now he has made huge changes in his life and has been incredibly blessed for it! He is one of the happiest guys now! Just another testmony to chalk up on my board of testimonies! That is what the gospel is all about changing lives to make one happier, thats all it is pure righteous everlasting happiness! No one can ever disagree with that, I dont care who you are it is that simple.
LIfe is very simple I have come to find, very very simple, i could explain it all to you but I wont. Sometimes its the journey not the destination that matters. Life is awesome, is such an adeventure with random twists, thats my favorite part the random small and simple things. The key is just to have His gospel in your life and LIVE it! In the words of a wise friend... vous devez la foi in Jésus-Chirst et suivre son evangile pour que vous puissez être herreux! (you must have faith in Christ so that you can be happy) He is a good man!
Missions fly by I mean this week 1/4 of my mission is over! Yikes! Thats almost too fast! Its pretty crazy how fast its gone. I just hope one day my french catches up! Well I dunno what else to write this week so I will catch you next week! Love ya remember who you are!
love
