Hellllllllooooooooo!
Well another week has come and gone! I have to say this past week was one of the best weeks of my entire mission! So throughout the week we had a lot of good lessons! We met with all of our investigators and we were able to see all of our members too! Each day we had no problems filling up our time, it was seriously great. Once again I see the hand of the Lord in our work and the blessings that come from hard work! On Sunday we had one of our old investigators come back to church, her name is Cecile. I'm not really sure what happened but she came back! And we were able to set a baptismal date with her! So pray that all will go well with her! And this week we got the news that we will be able to baptize Alexice! All is good, but first we need to start teaching his wife. All is going good! I miss you and love you!

New Investigator
Hellooooooooo!
Well here we go, another week has passed and now there are 10! Well the days are really passing quicker now; it’s pretty crazy. So this week was pretty good. We had a really good week prepared. Throughout the week we had a lot of appointments, but there were a lot that didn't go through. But we did our best. We found a new investigator this week named mama Felin...she is really cool...and she knows more about the bible than I do. We are hoping she will progress well but who knows. Everything is going well with my new companion. Elder Tano is really awesome. I like him a lot. He has a great work ethic, and real enthusiasm for the work. He talks to everyone who he sees. All and all things are good. Not much to report on. Love you and miss you!

Happy Birthday!! and New Companion
Well another week has come and gone....and now I'm 21....crazy. Well this week was good. Tuesday was good, we had a lot of appointments planned and then we received a call from the assistants that said they were coming to get Elder Mutoke a day early...and he wasn't ready so we stayed in the rest of the day so he could finish. Wednesday morning he left and that ended our 5 and 1/2 months that we had done together. It was good but I was definitely ready for a change. A few hours later my new son Elder Tano arrived. You can just tell that he is a new missionary. But everything has started out well. This week we did a lot of contacting. It was great. We are hoping a few of those people will work out. We taught a few good lessons but I can tell that my comp still has a lot to learn, but hey what new missionary doesn't. Something that I like is that he has a positive attitude all the time! And it really reflects on the rest of the day...I guess it’s true that when one person is happy isn't hard not to be. The training is going well too, he listens to everything I say and does everything that I ask him to do. All and all things are good! I hope you have a good week! I love you!

The Big 12!!!
Hellllllllllllllllloooooooooooooo!
Well another week has come and gone and here we are again. So like you know I don’t really send group emails but this week is a little extra important so here we go. The week started out like most do, with going out and seeing the investigators that we have. I think we taught some pretty good lessons. Alex is doing really well, we teach him 3 times a week. He understands everything we teach and it feels like it’s perfect for him but he still hasn't come to church. Alexice is still doing well; he came to church yesterday and is talking more than ever about his baptism. I think he is ready. We will be baptizing him within the next couple weeks.
Other than that there is nothing really new, except for one small thing. So the reason I put the title as the Big 12 is because I have 12 weeks left on my mission, but I also will be receiving a new companion.....a brand new missionary. I received the call on Wednesday that I’ll be training a new missionary named Elder Tano from the Ivory Coast. So now is the time I really need to work the hardest and show this new missionary what it’s like. I know the importance my example will have on him. Now is the time for me to be my best!
Pray for me, it’s going to be tough but I also know it will be worth it. I love you and miss you all!

Pray for Our Investigators
Helllloooooo!
Well I hope that all is going well! This week was pretty good; all is well here in Kegue. So the week started out a little tough because my companion was sick but then we hit the floor running on Wednesday. Wednesday we were able to teach all of our investigators.
The great news from this week is from Alexice. HE was able to get the proof of his marriage so now we will be able to baptize him without any problem! I was really happy about that.
So something interesting happened this week. We have two investigators who are really awesome. But both of them won’t come to church. So we asked them both and they both said the exact same thing. They said, “I know you are trying to help me, I want to come to church but I have things that I need to work out before I can come so pray for me.” It was weird but I hope they will come soon. But there isn't really much more to report on. All is well. I miss you and love you!

Searching for Investigators
Well another week has come and gone. There isn't really to much to report on this week. Tuesday and Wednesday we had we had a pretty good day of working. Thursday another missionary came to work with me in my area and it was awesome!
We did a lot of searching for new investigators, while we were doing that we got to sit down with a Muslim and talk for a few minutes. It was really interesting hearing the beliefs of others and discussing them. I think it was a good talk and I think he understood well.
We had a really good lesson with Alex this week. We talked about the importance of baptism and conformation and faith. I think he understood well, if only we could get him to come to church haha. The rest of the week was pretty normal. It rained all day Saturday so we didn't really get to work. All and all things are good. The pictures are of me in the rain and eating some good food!

Happy Week
Hellloooo!
Well this week was pretty interesting. To be honest there wasn't a lot of stuff that happened. Unfortunately we didn't teach a lot of lessons at all. But we were able to get a few in. Friday there was a lot of rain so that caused a lot of problems too! All and all it wasn't to easy this week. But I really think that this next week will be good.
So we are hoping to baptize our investigator Alexice this week. We need proof of his marriage to his wife which is the difficult part but he will hopefully have that this week. But all is well with him...his desire for baptism is amazing. I've really grown to love Alexice.
So the other thing that brought me a lot of happiness this week is a guy named David. David has been inactive for the past 2 or so years but we have been working a lot with him. Now is coming back to church and he has started going to seminary! He is really starting to change! It has been amazing to watch him! We are hoping that he will have the desire to serve a mission soon! But other than all that things are normal! I hope all is well! I love you!
