Dear Family,
This week was another great one! Really great :)
Roberto is fine. Armand is great, and the Sima's are fantastic!
Armand
is on track for his baptism. We taught him this week about tithing and
fasting, which he readily accepted. Then about faith, which was an
awesome lesson. A long time ago, he thought that our church didn't
believe in miracles (so false) so we discussed and read some verses in
Ether 12, specifically vs 4 and 6 and 18. He loved it, and he shared
with us some experiences of miracles that he has seen in his life. It was
really cool, because Armand is not super open about spiritual things,
but he shared some special things to us. he's really great, it has been
such a blessing to see him change over the time I've been here.
The Sima family had us over for a FHE and it was wonderful. We talked about
faith too, but in Alma 32. Adrien and Chantal had read the chapter and
when we were talking about the plant analogy, he explained it perfectly
to us. We had a couple come with us too from the ward and they got along
so well! it was so fun. And Chantal wants to show us how to wrap our hair
up in an African cloth. So cool. At the end we gave them a little plant
that will be their Plant of Faith :) they were so excited. After they
fed us African cuisine, always my favorite :) This time it was not
spicy. Probably the least spicy African food I've eaten here! ha ha and
they came to stake conference and loved it. It was so great to see them
:) Chantal loves us :) They will be baptized, as soon as they are
married!
This week we had about 15 lessons that fell
through, so that was a bummer, but we sang hymns and kept moving forward
:) It's OK, it's just the things that will make us tougher, right? And
we were still able to find people to teach. :) blessings still come
through disappointments :)
