So what does it feel like to be twenty-one years old? Well the first morning Im really achy and have a headache, not a good way to start adulthood! Its wierd to think that know I am held totally accountable for anything I ever do, I better put one my smart cap! But today I think Im going to buy a hammock, a little african gift! Well this morning was a really neat experience, we have a member, agian, who has to do some surgery, little Fortuné again cause the first time they didnt completely remove the infection, I dont agree with the doctors here, I going to come back a create my own hospital, but anyways we were going to give him a blessing, but he was being really fussy so we took him outside on a walk and found a bench under my favorite african tree, the flowers are so beautiful, I told Elder Howard that when I become a God, I am going to create the same flowers!!! Anyways, it was quiet and peaceful and lots of people walking around, and it was a sacred moment, just thinking what everyone else around was thinking, why are these yovos laying there hands on this kid? I dunno afterwards, after the prayer there where a couple of people just standing around watching. I felt very humbled, especially thinking about the scripture in james 5 talking that the Elders of Israel laying hands to heal the sick. Here people witnessed this event! Elders in Israel with the same authority and power as Jesus Christ exercising it today!!! If only others understood what this meant!!!! Really!? I felt very very remericed for having this hold calling and holding a this sacred responsibility! I really wanted to shout ''hurrah hurrah for Israel!'' I am an Elder in Israel!! I dunno just a good feeling of peace! This week has been crazy, one elder went home, just one day he was gone, during mothers day another elder went home cause of medical problems so we are pretty short handed now, but good news that one of my friends from BYU is coming here, same mission French Speaking! It would be funny if I trained him, but he entered the mtc this wednesday and will be here by mid-juin. Not to far away! Zone conference is tomorrow, oh the yovo teaching thing was totally wierd to do! Cause we went there and she is a volunteer at a orphange, so the people they were saying at were ridiculous rich, I felt like I was in an American home, even nicer than mine! But she was from spokane washington and she was lutheran. We taught here about the first lesson and book of mormon, but I dont think she was that poen cause she has a wierd philisophy, like a lot of people today, she said, and I quote her '' well I believe that no body is right, but also no body is wrong'' its a vey common problem. Whats funny that its only with the gospel that people say this, you will never find someone saying that about a bank! Its only the gospel, only conerning things of eternal importance that satan puts of the wall of ''acceptance.'' Dirty trick there. But how grateful that this is really the true gospel with a prophet and apostles that talk and walk with Christ and that He really guides this church! There are Elders in Israel again! I love when people start realize that and then they get their answer to their prayers!!!! Life is so awesome! I got my b-day package from you mom! Thank you soo much! I really enjoyed the pictures especially the one with Dad and Doug and Scout in the pool! haha! anyways thank you so much and I have none else to say expect I love you sooo much and remember who you are!!!
A humbled Elder In Israel,
Elder Lee
Yeah all I can say that Mama Odettes Attiéké is the best!!!!!
Decided to take a different approach one day and set a little stand by the big market hedzranawoé, it was so much fun! Met alot of interesting people and bearing testimony publicly alll day in front of lots of people!!! Some even came to church!!
Well... its about time for a change.... n'est pas?
