The Fam!

So I feel really good, cause now I know that I have a real family, not just some picture, or far off memory, or words on a screen, but REAL people with real voices!!! I was so awesome to talk you guys, even though Elder Howard keep coming up and scaring me straight, it was really good! So this week has been very interesting, so as some of you know that I am in a threesome, in two huge exploding areas! They are gowing sooooo fast and the quartiers are huge, half of lomé, and there are only three of us and so we are literally running to get to appointments, and eating whatever we find! So crazy and tiring, and hard and hard, but through it all you learn and grow sooooooooooooo much so fast and you learn to enjoy it all, I hope things never become easy again! So x-mas was wierd, we made crepes to keep the Lee tradition alive, the ice cream in Africa is really expensive, but worth it! So today is new years eve, and people are getting ready to part, wow the markets are nuts with people buying yingyahms, fish, alochol to celebrate the new year, I hear that this fest is huge, all the goats and chickens, have mysteriously disappeared into a piles of bloody meat, suspisously next to  an african style barbeque! I dunno we have too many investigators, can you say that? Its hard to plan for all of them and keep going but we are aided so much by a divine power, you see it every lesson, something different that God did to prepare them for us THAT day! Well I will tell a funny story, so I was drawing a diagram is the dirt about the first lesson, and I was sitting on, this little little stool, and I was being all animated about it, I was a the point where I was explaining that after christ prepared the chemin and after wicked men came and destroyed this chemin, totally erasing it off the face of the earth, I kinda lost my balance and like fell backwards onto my back, its hard to explain, but it was really funny, but the understood it and remembered the principle of the only way back to god was completely destroyed with the death of the apostles, then later that day I read in alma 24:27 where is says the lord worketh in many ways for the salvation of his people, and it made me laugh!   Well I think I should get going, all is well among the saints here in Zion! I love the work, I love the Lord, I love my family, and I love my tesimony! Anyways have a good new year and know that I love you guys and always remember who you are!!!

WHO doesnt want to Serve a Mission Here!!!!!!‏

This Week has been awesome!!!!

So many things I want to say and let you see!!! So this week, we visited a mama, one that lived 15 miles away, no joke. We started out at 11h00 and walked there cause to take a taxi all the way is extremely expensive on missionary soutien, so we took camion, whats that called in english.... TRUCK! Wow I forgot that word, well anyways we hitchedhiked on these camions and it took forever and still we had to walk a long ways, so this mama is really nice, very very VERY faithful! Every week on SUNDAY, she gets up at 3,4 in the morning to start the walk to church, every SUNDAY! You know you always here these kinds of stories for people doing incredible things, and it doesnt mean alot until you have literally walked in their shoes! Every Sunday she does this, by herself, her family doesnt support her in this, she makes the long trip there and the long trip back, to worship the True and Living God in THE true church! I did a lot of thinking about this, wondering if I had that kind of faith, I LIVED a three minute walk, and she lives a 3 hour walk. I admire her soo much, she has the sweetest spirit about her, just one of those people who I know will have a place next to our Father in Heaven!!! I was such a wake-up, saying Dan/Elder Lee is true! Just go and do it, everyone else is why not you!
   I just finished the most amazing book ever written , close to Our Search for Happiness, but I finished Jesus the Christ! That is a book! Took me forever, but I really enjoyed it, I have gained a deeper appreciation for what Christ accomplished in such a short time, and one thing I really liked was seeing all the faults of the apostles, seeing them struggle with faith and believing and doing things, like Peter, who did things from even denying knowing the Christ and yet, Christ still loved him and respected them, in all their faults, he still had respect and trusted them, gave me a hope that the same can apply to me, in despite of all my faults as a missionary and as a person! Am not perfect, either was Peter, and yet he was a prophet! I LOVED IT!
A lot of things have just made this week a good week, like finding wheat bread, i missed it so much! And I just got back from golfing, yeah I went to a real golf course, and not a bad one by our standards, and golfed with the Senior couple missionaries! So yep I can say I have golfed on another Continent, and Africa for that matter, it was too bad, the clubs were really really short and it was hard to hit the ball right but it was really fun!!!!
So things are going really good here, we will have two baptisms next week so I am really excited for that, so anyways I hope you all have a good festive week and know that I love you and hope that you always remember who you are!!!! Love ya!
