It was a
great P-day. We played some football americaine and got some sun. I was
wheelin' and dealin' at QB. The only problem was that no one could reel in the
ball. Anyways, we'll start off with a tid bit from this morning. I got out of
bed and started cleaning and then went back into our bedroom and Elder Steele
said, "President just called and he wants us to go to the office and meet
with him." I thought great there goes p day. Then he said April fools and
we laughed and I picked up our phone and called President Adams and told him
that we had an emergency. I said that as Elder Steele and I were coming home
from our morning run a scooter hit some loose gravel and slid into Elder Steele
and his leg was split open and bleeding pretty badly. He fell for it and
started asking me where I was going to take him and what we were going to do.
My courage ran out about there and I told him it was April Fool’s day. He
laughed and said, "I'll remember this." Uhhhh... ha goood. Then I
walked into Elder Robinson's room and told him to get his rear out of bed and
start calling his zone because we were evacuating due to major rioting in
downtown Tana. Elder Gaul had his shoes on before I could even get out of their
room haha. I waited until Elder Robinson was about done telling his first
district leader about the evacuation over the phone to tell them all it was a
joke. Suckers :) We had some really cool things happen this week. Alicia has a
bap date for April 20th. Her Dad loves what we teach but he can't leave his bed
because he is so sick. Last week as we were leaving their house I felt like we
should give him a blessing. The next time we went to teach them Elder Steele
and I had forgotten about the prompting to give the blessing and as we were
finishing the lesson Alicia's mom told us that she had a dream in which Elder
Steele and I gave her husband a blessing. It was an awesome blessing. He was
told that he still had work to do here on earth and for that he would be healed
and able to lead his family as they joined the church. We taught Lanto on
Saturday for the first time in a while because he had been out of town working.
He has almost finished 2nd Nephi and it had been 4 days since he had last
smoked cigarettes. We have been praying very intently for him and he is starting
to make progress. We taught Helen twice this week and Bruno and her can finally
get married this Saturday! So... we have a possibility of 4 baptisms the
Saturday before I leave. Either way, they are all going to make it and I'm so
happy. We had been in a bit of a rough patch as far as people progressing
throughout March, but we're moving again. I interviewed a young lady for
baptism last Sunday and she invited us to her baptism on Saturday. It was great
to hear her testimony after the baptism. In the interview she told me all about
her plans to go to the temple. The work is going so well here. People are being
retained and we are seeing real growth. Our ward council meetings have gone
from activity planning and verbal battles to a detailed discussion about
investigators, less actives, recent converts, and potential Melchizedek
Priesthood holders. I'm so grateful to have been able to be a part of all this
and to have been able to seen the change that has taken place. Well, have a
great week everyone. Make sure to so whatever the Lord needs you to do in each
of your personal circumstances this week. You are all where you are for a
specific reason. So don't be lazy chumps. Loves :)
