Dear Fam bam,
This has been a great week as usual. It's been really rainy the
last couple of days. And it was also during the days we did not have
the car so we got wet quite a bit but it didn't dampen our spirits. We
really needed the rain though so it was good. It might be just a little
too late to save the piggies though and help the pork prices. Things
are still going well with Carrie. She is ready for the 27th. We are
going over there tonight and will be setting up all of the details for
the baptism itself. We had kind of a funny story this week. We were
visiting with our investigator friend Koudzo, and we were reading Moroni
6 with him which is all about church. His Book of Mormon is in french
though because that is the language he best understands. So we are
reading in English and he is reading in French and we finish the
chapter, but then he reads another verse and Elder Taylor and I look at
each other and realize we don't have any idea what he is reading or
where he was, but when we asked him what the chapter was about he
understood it so as we talked about it, we were able to teach well. He
also sang a song to us in French about God helping prophets such as
Jonah and Daniel and said he wants to sing in our church sometime. Now
all we have to do is actually get him to come to church which is proving
to be difficult. I invited him to come listen to us sing in the choir
yesterday and he still didn't show up. We are still able to meet with
him weekly though and feel of his good spirit when we read with him and
teach him.
Mindy and Mark, I got your package this last week. Thank you so
much! It was a delight to open and see all of the goodies. Also the
gloves will come in handy this next week as we go help a sister in the
ward tear her roof off so she can put a new one on. We will be on the
ground picking up the stuff they throw down so no need to worry about us
falling off of a house. While Elder Taylor and I were out tracting
this week we met a nice family. The parents names are Dennis and Lisa
and they let us right in and gave us a glass of ice water and we read 3
Nephi 11 with them. It was a super sweet experience especially because
Elder Taylor had prayed over a map before we left and felt like we
should go there and we saw a miracle! We will be going back soon to see
if they read more of the account of Jesus Christ's visit to america.
We are going to the zoo today for P-day. I guess it's free today so
we'll go check it out. I love you all and i know that this is the true
church!
