We had a pretty good week this week. It has been a little
hard to work with members but that is mostly because the telephone companies
have been having some network trouble recently. Fr Nicodême said he would come
to Church with his wife but sadly wasn't able to make it, but hopefully next
week he will. We have been working our way with other amis also. There is a Fr
Robert who was interested in what we had to say but wasn't really interested in
leaving his Church because he had an experience where everyone thought his wife
was dead but God said she wasn't and she wasn't. He took that as a sign that
his Church was true, then he asked us if he thought it was fake or not of God
and we said, "No, that was of God" which obviously surprised him. But
what really surprised him was, after I explained that someone needs the
authority to baptize, when we were able to explain what the priesthood was and
show verses of it in the scriptures, including mentions of the "order of
Aaron" and the "order of Melchezidek" So I hope that will help
him open his heart. We have also been watching "The District" during
companionship study, one reason is because President Monga wants us to, but it
is really helping us see how to work and plan properly, so that is good. We
also started companionship language study to help Elder Bouthot learn English,
so that is cool.
I actually have dreamed in French several times, so that is
cool.
Je vous aime tous tellement!
Nous ne craignons aucun homme! (just another way to say it)
Elder Russell
And totally off topic, the Eensy Weensy Spider played as I
wrote this letter... I hadn't heard that song for what seems like forever.
Don't remember if I showed this already. Elder Izere left me
a gift before I left Douala
