Restoration, Running...., Interviews, and Baptism!

(Using some photos taken in April by Collin's aunt, Amber Park, since we didn't receive any photos from Collin this week.)

Monday was the day of restoration! Well at least for most people. When you run out of funds for food it's called "going into apostasy".... I've never gone into apostasy, so there is no need for a restoration!

Transfer news is on Saturday.... I'm pretty sure I'm getting transferred. So I didn't buy anything for the week. That way if I do get transferred, I don't have to pack all my stuff AND food. We rested small and made a late lunch. Tried to email but the network was so bad that I only got to read 2 emails in 80 minutes.... eish.

We tried to pick a few people for FHE but it was a no go. Still, others came which we hoped would and so it was still a nice evening. :)

Woke up Tuesday running! Man, my guts were disturbing all day.... Oh wait, they haven't stopped.

At combined district meeting we watched a missionary broadcast about teaching repentance and baptizing converts. Man it was so wonderful and powerful. I love Elders Oak and Bednar. After we had MLC, so we finally finished at 3.... Wooo! After that we only had a few short hours left to try to see the people we planned to see. But by 7 we had to urgently rush back to the house to relieve my guts....

Wednesday was pretty standard. We got banku and abenkwyne for lunch, nice paah. When we went to find a referral, we instead found a different house full of old women who were pleasantly surprised to see and obruni at their door ready to share the gospel. They invited us in and we had a wonderful, slow.... discussion. :) Time just wasn't on our side. We did all we could to see the people we planned to, but there just wasn't enough time to give everyone the portion they needed! Gaah!

I sent a package on Thursday, hopefully it gets home too. :)

We taught Amos, a rastor, a super funny guy that believes in a very strange culture, which is honestly pretty sweet. Aside from the smoking weed....

Appointments were a hit and miss. It's nice to see the people that promised you they'll be there. We received a referral and her name is Janet, she lives a hard life with 1 child and one in the oven. She is a very sweet woman and doesn't have a religion -- she'll have one soon. ;) so teaching is super easy and simple. Emmanuel is also a new investigator. He has lots of questions and a long background story, so we managed to cover 3 points of an 8-point lesson in 2 hours. :)

Friday was very cheerful. We had interviews with the President. One on one time with him is so wonderful. He takes time to know about your family and personally, and addresses gospel questions and concerns. Man, you leave feeling so good. :)

Teaching was ish.... but we prepped Agnes for her interview in the evening. She passed, obviously. :)

Saturday began with a few lessons. We saw Janet again. Agnes had her baptism as well! WOOOOO! We had Christian do the baptism for her. It was such a spiritual event. I loved it so much and I'm so happy to see that she has agreed to follow the Savior this way. After, we went and enjoyed Banku and Abenkwyne with them. Watched Legacy with them and taught Mary.

All day I waited and waited and waited for a phone call.... and I never received one... which means I'm staying for 6 more weeks!!! YES!!! Tehehehehe. :) I'm so happy. :)

I'm so glad I'm not leaving yet. What looked like my last Sunday is not anymore! :) We picked Janet up for church, which made us a little late, but we were still there for the Sacrament and Aggie's confirmation. We took a small nap after church and then went around visiting people, sharing books of Mormon with everyone since we have so many.

Mami Supa is so wonderful. The food however tonight was not my favorite, some weird plantain, onion, peppe, batter deep fried in oil.... when you pinch the finished product, oil runs down your fingers.... that's good for your heart. So I tried not to eat too much. My tummy doesn't like oil like that...

Life is good, mission is good, and God is good! :)
