So this has been an awesome week! This past week has been so good! We have had multiple lessons which has been a nice change in the area since I first got here. So amazing! I think one of the coolest miracles this past week was Shiane. So last week we were in the park because one of our recent converts invited us to meet him there. So yeah, were all excited because we get to see him and stuff. Anyway, as we were there, he went off for some reason and started talking to some other people he knew. So, we go and talk to random people in the park. One of those people was Terry. She was just relaxing under the shade with her roommate. He had this whole set up for drumming in the park. Anyway, she talks to us for a little bit and said that we could come by the park in the afternoons because she is normally there. So, we haven’t been able to see her since. HOWEVER! God works in some pretty freaking awesome ways! So one of Terry's friends, which turns out to be Shiane, wanted some help. SO GUESS WHAT!!? Terry was a missionary without even knowing it! She gave Shiane our number and she called us up, and we met up at the park with her! Super truth seeking! She even said that she wants to come to church with us! Such an awesome miracle!
We also got to see Richard this past week! It’s such a miracle because this guy is so busy! Works day and night to provide for his family! The coolest part about this visit with Richard though was that right after we were going to leave, he went and got his patriarchal blessing! Only a member for 2 months and he already has the priesthood and already has a patriarchal blessing! This guy is so cool! He is so kind and generous too! So, in Africa (that’s where he is from), they have this very interesting dish called Foo-Foo (I think that is how you spell it). Just imagine a very gummy potato. But that was the yummiest gummy potato ever! Dipped in the soup that his wife made, mmmmm, it was SO GOOD!
Anyway, not much else happened! We just keep working and doing what missionaries do! Sure love and miss all of ya!
Love
