A week has gone again.... Amazing! This week not a lot of new things happened except of a few moments. Well Tuesday is our district meeting, it was just another district meeting, but out of the nowhere President Dil showed up and assisted with us. Very odd, especially that he is a country away and he is coming again in two weeks for zone conference. Now as I think about it, this week was really odd. Lots of random people just appeared out of thin air! First was Hortance Sunday, then President Dil Tuesday. Wednesday, The Southams came from Bénin and suprised us in the morning! It was so good to see them, really bizarre to see them here but still good! Then someone else random poked up later this week, an a good investigator who moved, but randomly showed up a church again!!! Great week as I think about it! Petit, who is a new convert of ours is the best man ever! When we went to see him,(by the way he knows what it means to be a real disciple of jésus-christ because after his baptism, he has given us so many referrals because he has tasted the fruit, one already has a baptismal date) but he was all excited cause Sunday he wanted to render his testimony at church! He was so excited to do it, it was asking all these questions like do I need to write it down, where is the sign up sheet, how long does it have to be! I was so proud of him! Then Sunday, he was the second one to render his testimony and it was short,simple,sweet and Powerful!!!! He is such and awesome guy!!!! Tonite we are going to have Family Nite with Basile and Ernestine, we will be watching THe Restoration with them! I hope they feel something! The work is moving ahead, fast and testimony meeting, there is hardly any downtime, everyone is so anxious to give some thanks to our Father in Heaven, thinking about home, when usually there is ALOT of downtime, kinda disappoints me thinkiing about it, that no one wants to render a testimony with all that has been bestowed on our heads? Tough question.... So this week I have been reading and studying like crazy, I have listened to the entire CD of Joseph Smith this week! That is impressive cause we never have power, it has been out for days at a time, sometimes coming on late at nite! But I have learned so many new things, some of which I share with investigators! It goes good when I have to do my laundry, it takes awhile when you have to do it by hand! I also taught myself how to read music, and play the piano, it was a challenge from my companion, he said I couldnt do it, so I sat down for and hour, after reading the Hymn book and a lot of guessing, I figured it out! So now I can play Hymns! Kinda wierd! My comp wasnt too happy about it! Oh well!!! Life is great!!! I love it, walking for miles and miles and miles under the African sun, talking and conversing with the best people(in general) I have evr meet! I also getting pretty strong the native tongue, I can do most of my buying in éwé, which helps me get more bananas cause everyone thinks it so hilarious that a yovo can speak vidé vidé! I eat alot of bananas, a ridiculous amount, I really like bananas right now!!!! Well thats about all, for this week, life is so much brighter with a hope and a knowledge of truth of the restoration!!!! Never live a day without it!! anyways I love you all and hope all is well!
Remember who you are!!!!
