Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
How's it going? This week was a bit of a slower one but that's OK because it was still enjoyable.
As we walk through our area, we often come across the same taxi money collector who introduced himself as Obama's cousin. Now every time we see him he's like, "hey my American friend remember me? I'm Obama's cousin!"
The highlight of this week was zone conference and interviews. In my interview with President Mdletshe he emphasized the importance of studying the scriptures and made some cool promises (which I'll share later). We knew that at zone conference President would be calling on one companionship to do a role play in front of the whole zone, and a week or more beforehand Elder Ferguson told me that he knew it would be us. Well, his instincts were correct and we gave the roleplay.
This week was filled with teaching opportunities and they might not have been as noteworthy as last week, but the Spirit was just as strong. I love teaching here in Kenya! Everyone we talk to wants to learn more about Christ and strengthen their relationship with God. I can genuinely say I enjoy teaching the Gospel.
Some updates on our friends: Lucy, the snack cart owner, disappeared on us after church and come to find out she went to the Relief Society President's house for an activity! It was exactly what she needed. Her and Abraham, one of the South Sudanese men, will be put on date this week because they are ready. We shared some General Conference videos with Susan and her family and they loved them! I always love sharing President Nelson's messages because I think it is physically and mentally impossible for anyone to dislike them. We met a young man named Seif this week and shoot, he's as prepared as anyone can ever be (plus he bought us mango juice so I like him).
Spiritual thought! I've been thinking a lot about scripture study. I wish I could go back in time and tell my younger self just how important it is to read the scriptures. They give us the strength to endure to the end and remind us of the commandments which is so important! President Mdletshe promised that if we study the Book of Mormon every day, then our personal witness of the Restoration would grow and not shrink. We try so hard every day to get people to read the scriptures because they truly have power to change a heart and a life. Read them!
I hope all is well!
