Hello Everyone,
Welp, it was another hard but rewarding week!
To
start off, last week on our P-Day, we went to the beach. It was super
cool, and a great experience. At the edge of the water, the breeze was
coming in, and it was kind of overcast, so for once it wasn't super hot,
and it actually felt really nice. We went there with our district, so
it was also fun to hang out with some other missionaries as well.
This
week, it rained a couple of times, so everything was just flooded for a
couple of days. After the first day it rained, I put on the sandals,
and now I can say I have that classic foreign missionary story of
tracting in the water, haha just kidding. I'll attach some pictures
below of what it looks like when it rains.
This
week was the preparation week for our friends Djo and Bernadette to get
baptized, and yesterday they did get baptized! I was super excited for
them. On Saturday night, Elder Kazadi asked me "Hey, do you want to do
the baptisms?" and I said "sure." I was a little scared, mostly because I
had to do it in French, but it wasn't too bad! Other than having to
redo Sr Bernadette's baptism once, and only baptizing in a foot of
water, everything went well.
Also,
we got transfer news this week, and I'll be staying in Attiegou for at
least another 6 weeks, with Elder Kazadi. I am excited about that,
because Elder Kazadi is a great missionary, and also I'm not so sure
that I'm ready to run the area haha, but I'll have another 6 weeks here
to get everything down, and hopefully improve my French a little bit.
Well, that is pretty much it for this week! Talk to you all next week!
