| "It really is insane how right it is. There are no faults, none at all." |
This week has been pretty good. Once again, it has passed by very fast!!
I cannot even believe that I have already been here in Anfamé
for a month! I really will be home before I know it! And I don't know if I am
excited for that or not... Because I am really liking the mission right now! I
am liking our amis, our branch, my companion, everything! I am really hoping
that this is where I am going to finish my mission. If I get transferred before
December I will be devastated, I don't want to start a new sector and
new amis and all that stuff right before I go home... Other missionaries have
done that and they said that it isn't cool! So let’s pray that I will be able
to stay put for another 18 weeks! Me and my companion currently have 9
baptismal dates fixed, and 5 progressing amis... That's what you get when you
just do what you are supposed to do and aren't stupid! Haha loving the mission!
I don't really have much to write to you this week to be honest... We
just had a lot of lessons and not much going on. Oh yeah! I went on a split
with Elder Gnenenon in Ablogamé (Where Elder Layton served 8 months) and it was horrible! I thought that I
would like being back there and seeing all the old faces and places... But I
hated it! Haha I felt like I was back in the past a year ago and didn't move
forward! Luckily I didn't sleep in my same bed, not even the same room. That
would have been too much! Haha I really didn't like it! It was weird! The only
good part about it was that I got to see Agathe! And that was fun! We took a
picture! You'll see it later I guess... I have to try and send some pictures to
some other missionaries of Beatrice's baptism, so I might try and download some
pictures and send them too you. I know that you would love that! And if I get a
virus and all my pictures are erased, then it's all your fault! No I'm
just kidding.. I'll be careful!
I guess I could talk about how much I have been learning about the Book
of Mormon... I have been learning TONS AND TONS about it! Like crazy amounts!
Well a lot about it to me... Haha seeing that I didn't really know anything
before the mission. It really is insane how right it is. There are no faults,
none at all. Everyone who is like,"Oh yeah Joseph Smith totally just wrote
them himself yada yada yada" I am just like, WHAT!? You're crazy man...
Read it yourself and you'll see... You'll see! I love that book; More than
anything. Read it every day!
Like for example this week I was studying about
how Nephi saw the destruction of his brothers seed in the latter days
and how Gentiles from all over the world came to America and settled there. But
then they brought a bunch of sicknesses with them like the bubonic plague and
yellow fever and all sorts of plants and animals and rats causing all the
Native Americans to get sick and die off little by little. They were
even enslaved in their own homeland and shipped to Europe and all the hardships
that they experienced. And how before all of that happened how America was
hidden until 1492 when Christopher Columbus found it. And he himself saying
that he was helped by the Lord in being blessed to be able to accomplish
finding America and being lead by the spirit. ALL of that seen in Nephi's
vision 600 years before Jesus Christ was even born! It is incredible. I love it
so much!

I guess not much has changed... ;) Obviously kidding... I hope that you had a happy birthday and that you had a good day! I'll be there for the next one for sure :)" -Your Brother |
Well
that is really all that I have for today.. I don't have much to say to be
honest. I hope that you all have a good week! I love you and I will talk to you
next Monday! CTR!
