ONE MONTH???

 That’s right! This Sister missionary has been out for one month~!!! Crazy to think of how much I have learned and grown in such a short time. But I am so excited for what’s to come!!!! 

I don’t have a lot of time to email this week. But I wanted to thank you all for you emails, prayers and support. I am so loved and so grateful that I have such wonderful people in my life!!!! 

Some high points of the week!!!

-Our investigator Tryness is hopefully getting baptized on November 12th! We are so happy for her. The most amazing moment this week was when she was explaining about how after she is baptized she is born again in a way and that from then on she needs to work hard to live the commandments. Hearing investigators testimonies is the greatest thing. AND She is making us African food tonight too so I’m pretty excited about that!!!

-On Tuesday we were walking and we saw this group of young boys (like sophomores in high school) and one was smoking and the others looked kind of scary. SO as we walked by we waved hi and then Sister Godfrey was like "lets talk to them" so we ended up getting to teach them a lesson (once the one kid put out his cigarette haha) and it was a very intense lesson. These boys listened well and one especially named Joel was super interested and even explained to his friends during the lesson about what we were saying. As we taught them about the Book of Mormon they got very defensive and then they brought up a ton of questions about our Sabbath day.  They quoted Bible verses at us like crazy and the whole time I was just amazed by how much they knew. Like they have the whole thing memorized. We did our best to answer and focused on just sharing our testimonies instead of arguing and by the end of the lesson they had calmed down. But it was really amazing to see how just by me and Sister Godfrey bearing our testimonies the situation was calmer and made a lot more sense too. I don’t know much and I cant quote every scripture off the top of my head but I know what we are teaching is true. I know that Joseph Smith was a true prophet and that the Book of Mormon and the Bible are the word of God and that they both testify of Christ and in the end its up to them to choose if they want to know for themselves. That is definitely one lesson I learned this week. People are free to choose and that’s good! Because I wouldn’t want anyone to just believe everything I said. But they cant change what I believe and what I know to be true. 

-Sister Godfrey (my companion)and I’s favorite snack this week was these strawberry biscuits or cookies. They are the best! We get them from a street shop once a day ooops! We also like to get these things called "samosas" maybe I’ve talked about them before but they are like fried things with potatoes and spices inside. SO GOOD. 

-Scariest moment of the week by far was when me and Sister Godfrey were attacked by a group of children!!!!!! We were walking on this road and they said hi and then they followed us and started asking us questions and then they surrounded us and grabbed our hair and Sister Godfrey told them to leave in Niaja and they thought it was funny we were speaking it so we ended up just laughing with them. Good times!!!

-Most the kids in our area know that I have stickers now so they come up and ask me for some. "Give me stickers!" and so before I give them I make them say please haha. That way I get to teach them manners too!!!!! 

Thank you again for your continued support. I love you all!!!!!.
