Bonjour!
This has been quite the week.
First
of all, on Tuesday we had District Council. Our district changed a
little bit a couple of weeks ago, with the addition of Elder Osime, and
his trainee. His trainee is coming straight from Online MTC, so he
didn't get a reassignment or anything, which is crazy to think about,
with almost everyone in the past year getting reassigned. However, I
have heard of a lot more places opening up, which is good! The Zone
Leaders came down to join us for district council, which was good. They
shared some training, which is always good.
On
Wednesday night, we found out that the next day we would be having a
conference with Elder Martinez, the President of the Africa West Area,
and his counselor, Elder Kacher, of the Seventy. Apparently, Elder
Martinez was just flying through Togo, and had a long layover, and
decided that he would call a last minute conference. He shared his
conversion story, and how the power of the Holy Ghost impacted it. It
was a really great teaching, and I got a lot out of it. Mostly because
Elder Martinez doesn't speak French, so he gave it in English, and a
translator provided the French haha. So, I definitely understood the
English. Then, Elder Kacher, who speaks French, gave a teaching/question
and answer, mostly about the importance of following rules.
Some
good news this week, we got two people on date for baptism for next
weekend! One of them is Godwin, who is Djo's son, the man we baptized
about a month ago. When we asked the question, on Wednesday, of when he
wanted to be baptized, he responded ''um, Thursday?'' So, I would say
that he's pretty excited to be baptized. The other is Amasi, who is
pretty elect, to say the least. She came to church last week, by
herself. Then, when we taught her on Wednesday, for the first time, we
put her one date to be baptized. She is super receptive, and I can tell
that she really believes, and wants to be baptized.
Nothing
too crazy happened this week, except something yesterday. So, when it
was about time to leave for church, it started raining. I thought, ''no
big deal, I'll just grab my umbrella.'' Welp, turns out I left that in
North Carolina. I did have my rain jacket, but that didn't really help.
We walked for 30 minutes in the rain to church, and by the time we got
there, we were soaked. However, when church started, the rain stopped.
But then, right as church was coming to an end, it started raining
again. So, we walked back home for another 30 minutes in the rain. Fun
times. I guess we are starting to enter the raining season here, so I'm
guessing that will happen more often.
That's about it for me for this week. Hope everyone has a great week. Oh, and I actually have pictures this week!
