I'm still doing well and everything is great in the life of this missionary so here is a little about my week.
My companion and I had a little rough spot at the beginning of this
week that we eventually figured out and everything is cool now. Kind of
makes me want to never get married because I like my independence and
doing what I want to do... But I guess maybe one day I will do that who
knows. We had another service project where we use machetes and other
stuff to cut down weeds and grass. Yes, we just use machetes! it's super
tight and I'll probably bring some home. It was fun and ants here
really suck.
I was feeling a little discouraged because I was thinking that this
transfer (6 weeks) we will probably only have one baptism but then
something happened... WE FINALLY FOUND A LEGALLY MARRIED COUPLE. I don't
think you understand how difficult it is to find someone who is married
legally here. I'm so excited to teach this family and hopefully see
them progress. Bro Emmanuel and Martha are very kind and they have two
children. One is 8 and the other is 6 and they are very willing to
listen to us. They told us that next week they will visit us at the
church and I really hope that is true it would make me so happy. Another
blessing that came was another woman and her 3 children that came to
church on Sunday and are ready for the gospel. She's not married, but
she isn't living with a man. We taught all of them and are hoping they
will be ready by November 19th. Even the ma of these small children that
we were teaching came to church again and we weren't even able to see
her this week because she wasn't home. Yesterday we had 21 investigators
come to church and I couldn't be happier. I can really feel the
blessings coming in and we're very hopeful for some upcoming baptisms. I
love this work that we are doing so much. I look forward to helping
others know the truth each and every day.
After church we went and saw a less active woman who has been
coming back to church and she had a bunch of food for us. Very nice
plantains and chicken and all kind of stuff to make me fat but it was
very sweet.
The only other bad news was when my companion almost killed a keke
driver because he wanted to charge us more than what the drive cost
us... I held him back and he's doing okay now. We all learn from our
mistakes so it's all good. Hopefully it won't happen again, I'm just
glad I was there because that dude would be in the hospital right now if
I wasn't. He said he was sorry and drove away nervously hahaha.
No running water right now but hopefully that gets fixed soon. I'm
happy right now and my stomach hurts a little bit but no wahala. I love
you all. Keep me in touch and updated.
