Hello Everyone,
These past few weeks have been pretty good. I'll fill you in on a little that has happened.
Two weekends ago, our friends Ameli and Godwin entered the waters of baptism! I am so excited for them to start their journey on the covenant path. The day before, Friday, Elder Kazadi asked if I wanted to be John the Baptist again. I offered to let him do it, but he insisted that I do it again, so I did. The baptismal prayer in French is not that hard, I have that memorized, but the names are the hard part. Ameli Agbokakpe. I still don't know how to pronounce that. Also, something kind of funny, when we were filling out the baptismal forms, for address, it asks for the street, city, zip code, all of that. Well, because this is Africa, we just put Togo as the address haha.
As far as the past two weeks have gone, it's been pretty well. We have only found two people in the last 2 weeks, but we have been focusing a lot on the people we are teaching, and we've seen the fruits of our labors. We got permission to return to the ward building in Attiegou two weeks ago, so that's where we've been meeting. Before, we were meeting at the stake center in Kegue, and it made it kind of hard for our friends to come to church, because it was so far of a walk. Now, it makes it a lot easier, and we even got 5 people to sacrament yesterday, all for the first time.
Transfer news came on Saturday morning, and we learned that Elder Kazadi and I will both be staying in Attiegou for another transfer. I was surprised, because this will be his 4th transfer here, and my 3rd. I'm sure that he will probably leave after this next transfer, and I'll stay again. So, I'll probably be in Attiegou for at least 4 transfers, or 6 months. I'm excited though.
Well, that's about it for the past 2 weeks. I hope everyone has a great week!
