Hello family,
Things here on this side of the planet are going good. Not to much to complain about I guess. Just the average life of a missionary in Africa. I do have to say that my companion is freakin' sweet. Sounds like things are kind of rough over there in America. Lots of crazy things are happening with grandpa and Brooklyn and everything.
The week was great. It just seems like we have a bunch of people that don't care so we need to get rid of them. Sounds sad but the field is so white right now that we just don't have time to mess around with the people who do not care. We have been having plenty of bounces and I hate them cause we walk forever and then they are not even there. But I guess that that is all a part of the work. And it is a lot better because I have someone that I can talk to when things start to go bad. But I guess we can't really complain because we had 8 people at church on Sunday and a couple of our investigators brought investigators. So that is pretty sweet as well. We had a baptism on Sunday, a young girl. Her name is Edith Donpuloe. She is cool and I taught her dad how to do the prayer right before. He did awesome. I always get a really big smile on my face when I see families come together in the church. That family is one of our biggest assets when it comes to getting new people to teach. They are bringing all of their friends to the church.
The day before Saturday, I baptized a lady her name is sister Tarpeh. She is so nice but holy smokes she is a big woman. She can occupy two chairs pretty easily. I started to teach her and her family in my last area then I left and she asked if I could baptize her. So I came. Nothing big guns can't handle, right? When I say big, I am guessing she is pushing five hundo, Good news - I only had to do it once. I think I got the third row splashed, haha - just kidding - but I was soaking literally. She almost baptized me! Ok, I am joking again. I had it easy. So that was my big event for the week I guess.
So I have told you before that Elder Merrill and I are becoming a hit. He can sing like you wouldn't believe. He can make someone as bad as me sound good. We just sing together so well. He can harmonize like no one business. Anyway, someday you will hear us sing together because I will record it so I can sell it and make money with it, haha. We are so good that I make myself want to cry. JK, We get along great, the problem is that I worry that because we get along so great that I am going to get transferred next transfer, just you watch.
Something that I thought was sweet from my studies is that God cannot answer you unless you ask. We need to get on our knees and ask to receive.
So it sounds like things are going great with all of my friends. Man, I wish I could be awesome missionaries like them. I still feel like I am a greenie.
So Riss how is your family doing I hope they are getting better. I pray for all of you guys every blessed day. Some people say it is vain repetition but I say that it is extreme love, haha! Anyway, I hope all is well with everyone.
So I have been given the coordinates of my apartment on google earth if you want them. Now the picture makes things look much nicer than it really is. So here it is. 6 22.255 n 10 46.334 w. Hopefully, you can get a little look of where I am all the day. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you that I almost had a neat experience on the way over here. My motorcycle crashed haha. It wasn't bad at all but it did get my bag and my pants and shirt dirty. Man I hate it when people cant ride!
Well, that is about it for me. I am going to go and buy stuff to make burritos - mmmm - cause we got money today. Elder Merrill and I love burritos. I love all of you so much I hope that you guys are doing great. I love you mom, Riss and everyone. Kiss B's finger for me. Love ya so much.
Love, Big Elder Kev Moss
