Hello y'all, good week. Let me tell ya about it!  So, this last week was transfers. On Tuesday and Wednesday we went and taught some of our baptismal candidates and said goodbye to friends and members! Good times!  Thursday was travel day! We went to the stake center in Cotonou in the morning and I loaded up on the bus to Togo and was able to sit by the trainees coming it, the two Americans seems a little scared, but were excited to get it going and learn a lot of stuff. I was able to drop some knowledge and advice for them to use 😏 I'm such a wise old missionary now! I was able to meet my new comp, Elder Wensel. He just got out of training but he's a dawg, he's a hard worker and we gonna blow this sector up!  Note: Kpalime apartment is invested with mice, mainly the couches so sitting on them you can hear them squeaking and running around. We have been using the small lacrosse sticks to hunt them down by shaking the couches and when they come out going d-midi slash st...

Hello, good week. Let's do bullet points, shall we?  • went to visit a member at their work and he ended up giving us banana plantains and we went and bougbt pork...great time, I love pork  • celebrated Halloween by ordering some good food and carving watermelons (we were up till 1 am...oops)  • played soccer and ate fufu and sauce d'arachide (celestial kingdom food)  • got transfer calls...I'm leaving,  I'll be going to the mountains! I'm transferred to Kpalime, back to togo! I was able to do a few exchanges up there and it is my heaven here in the mission. It is a legit answer to my prayers to be  going there again! Elder Barnes will be staying here to continue the work! He's gonna do great!  • gave a parting testimony in church and a member started crying and tried to say goodbye after a bit then said "later" and walked away. I love this ward and am sad to be leaving  • today we dropped Elder Palmer off to go back to his home of Tahiti and ...

Spiritual Lessons and Jealous Africans

Image
This week was good. Let me tell ya about it.  So, I've been trying harder to have the spirit more in lessons but also pointing it out to our friends when we feel it so they know that the warm in their chest isn't from the spicy food they ate, it's the spirit. It’s been amazing as we do that I, myself, have notice the spirit in lessons more and had some great lessons.  One being an opportunity we had to share our personal conversions to the Book of Mormon with a friend and talking about how it changed our lives and that's why we left EVERYTHING to come here, learn a new language, eat different foods, learn a new culture, to help everyone know this book! It was an amazing lesson and it ended with our friend saying she knows this book has a lot of truth in it and wanting to learn more!  We also had a jealous husband...that same friend from the story above, the next day we went by to say hi and she was on the phone with her husband and said "hey I got to go, my 2 white...

I think it was a great week...let me tell ya about it...?  Talked to a voodoo dude and asked some questions here's how it went: **So you believe in Jesus Christ and God?  - yes they are very important. I read the Bible daily  **okay...and you do sacrifices...why?  - well my dad did them, so did my grandpa and my great grandpa. So I'm on earth to do them. ** ok...why? What's the significance behind it?  - well actually I dont know...I just do them. **huh that's weird. And the god dude that hits people with a stick...why does he do that?  -yeah i also dont know why he just does...just gotta give him money. ** ok so you don't know your religion...thank you!  A pretty weird conversation if you ask me. haha that dude was so weird.   We walked past a school as it got out, safe to say we got bombarded by children for  a good mile and through some rendezvous I'm learning pork and cheese (Portuguese) Yesterday I made peanut sauce all by myself and som...
