Ok this week in the Congo,
We played soccer and we found in the park they put a workout
section where you have machines but they just use your own body weight as the
resistance that was awesome so were going to run there in the mornings and work
out. Hopefully the other elders can keep to their word for that. We had an ami
feed us and oh my goodness that was so so good. We were stuffed and could
barely walk after we ate. I want you guys to know I’m praying for you. You
learn to pray about every second of your mission your praying for the
lessons and your praying more than your teaching and your praying to know what
to say what the people are even saying it’s fun haha. I know that the church is
true and that through Joseph Smith the Lord has restored his gospel.

We had more baptisms this week. I’ll attach photos. We are
working with one guy who likes beer. So we told him he would have to drink the
kind without alcohol. And he said “NO, that’s for women.” I died laughing and
my comp did too. The Bishop called the out the people of the ward out for not
being on time and respecting the sacrament. He said if the President came and
was giving out $ you wouldn’t be late you would be on time. It was funny. (But
true) The mission President doesn’t want us going to that park to work out. He
says it’s not safe. We think it is but President does not… Life in Africa…..
The Sister missionaries have been asking me to translate for Sr. Bills (she
works in the mission office and only speaks English) I would love letters for
my Birthday coming up. I’ll have my mom put the address on again. But you can
email too. Please visit the temple. Have a great week.
