Been eating a lot of this stuff called red red. its like beans with this stuff called gari thats like….I don’t know....this powder kinda stuff... anyway, its nice and they put like fried plantain with it. It’s cheap, fills you up, and yummy.
We taught this woman named P at a shop near the chapel. We contacted her and then followed up and she had read the scriptures, which was cool. Then we taught her and the lesson went well. Gave her a Book of Mormon and she read it too! Pretty cool. We hope and pray that she will continue to progress.
We met with C again and he came to church again. The guy is so faithful. We went out to his house and I was filming a video to show to y’all about what it looks like on the way out there and as i was filming a snake freaking flew through my legs!!!!!!! It freaked me out hahahahahaha. It was so funny and I’m so glad I got it on video. So I’ll try and send it in a min. Then he fed us so much kokonte (like fufu but green) that we could barely walk after.... haha didn’t eat the rest of the day ha.
We had a great lesson with M and K where we just basically told them why we were here on earth and that us coming and teaching them would not get them to heaven. That they needed to put effort into it and act on the faith they say they have! So yeah it went well.
“10:30pm to 6:30am is a precious time period.” That’s what I wrote in my journal on Wednesday. It’s true, any missionary can attest.
We had a zone conference this week, President did amazing as usual during his instruction. He is awesome and I am truly privileged to serve with him.
A new insight I've learned about Peter walking on water (which is my favorite story form the New Testament). Here it is, Peter doesn’t wait to walk on water until the seas were calm. He just jumps right out into the stormy waves. We in life shouldn't wait until the water is calm, or life is peaceful to follow Christ. To come to Him. We need to have the faith to jump out and walk to Him especially when it is stormy in our lives. His response is always the same when we call out to Him. His response is, “come.” We can see miracles in our lives if we are willing to jump out of the boat. Peter leaves the safety of the only floating thing on the sea to go to Christ. He doesn’t care that the wind is whipping or that the waves are likely splashing him roughly. He only cares that he is coming to Chris. May we do the same. Don't worry about what’s happening around you. Just focus on Christ. A member of the 12 (can’t remember who, I listen to so many talks that they all kinda blur together) said, "if you have chosen Christ, you have made the right choice." It’s true. Look to God and live.
Mission life peeps. Sometimes feels like groundhog day especially if you stay in the same area for 6 months haha but its cool.
Alrgiht, Janda out.
