Hey y’all, another week down here in Benin, Africa!  Bullet points • had a family night at Bernards house. Had like 27 people there, it was awesome! Ate some fire food after, great time, everyone was engaged and loved it!  • been getting all our baptismal candidates ready for this big group baptism we are doing so not alot of time to find but God still helps us! Found a group of bros that are super interested and loved the Book of Mormon • when we were up in Sakete the member that usally helps us was gone...weird...but we went and did our lessons and when we got back to the car to leave the member came walking up with a bag...we asked what was in said bag, he looked at us with a smirk on his face and said "we went hunting..." instantly I was interested, asked what it was and it was a HUGE Rat big enough to be a small dog! He said him and his buddy wanted to eat rat tonight so they went hunting and got one and now were about to cook it.  Man, how badly I wanted to stay and...

  Hello everyone, how are you? I hope you are doing well! Week:  - went to dinner for a member's birthday, ate a good pizza  - got hit by another moto, broke something in his bike, he didn't say anything and walked away. We chased him and gave him some money to fix his moto  - ate a cat...yes in fact I have eaten a cat. The other companionship bought it and gave some to us. They told us they drowned the cat in a bucket of water to kill it...then skinned it and cooked it right there for them! The cat tasted kinda like you took a cat and killed it, then grilled it on the side of a dirty,  dirt road in West Africa. - worked like absolute Dawgs getting our friends all ready for the group baptism we are doing August 3rd, we have a goal with the two companionships to get 30 baptisms!  - The breaks on Elder Smiths bike broke and so the tire wouldn't turn, a mechanic just took the whole brake mechanism off with some allen wrenches and a hammer...works now, but...

Hey y’all, this week has been so cool saw some miracles!  We are trying to plan a big group baptism for August 3rd, before Elder Smith goes home. Please pray for our friends we have on date right now, that they will stay strong and continue to progress!  Not much stuff this week to talk about. Bought some oranges from children on the road. Oldest was 10, youngest was 6, had been walking around all day trying to sell all the oranges...I bought alot so they could go home.  One cool thing did happen this week. I was watching the documentary on Thomas S. Monson, it's good go watch it. I had a feeling to go study the Christlike attribute "humility" so of course I stopped what I was doing and went and studied humility and I rediscovered this scripture that touched the fleshy tables of my heart, Ether 12:27.    "And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and My grace is sufficient for all men that hum...
