Hello

Hello!

Good things did happen this week, although I can't say it was that fun. I have been so sick all week. Obviously, it isn't fun being sick, but it's especially not fun having to stay inside a lot and not be able to do what missionaries do. I still have a slight sore throat, but I'm getting better so hopefully this week will be much more productive.

We had Zone Training this week with President and Sister Forbes. They are so awesome. President Forbes has a lot more confidence in being a mission president now and is doing great things to help shape this mission into what the Lord wants at this time. Sister Forbes is hilarious and so nice. After the training was over I asked President to give me a Priesthood blessing. He did so and although I did not suddenly get better, I received revelation and left feeling more happiness and gratitude. I'm so grateful for the Priesthood!

I have probably given thousands of people pass along cards with our number on it. Unless it is to a current investigator or member, no one ever calls. Except... Gh! We met him a few weeks ago and he was busy so we only had time to exchange numbers and briefly explain who we are and what we do. He told us he would call and amazingly within a few days he actually did! He is from Benin, speaks French, and is trying to learn English. We taught him for the 2nd time this week and although it is hard because of the language barrier, it is a lot of fun and the Spirit has been powerful! He is determined to understand and he will not let us move on if he doesn't understand exactly what we are saying. Despite the language barrier his understanding is better than probably 90% of the people I have ever taught. He gets it and loves it.

Sorry, there isn't much more to say this week. I loved the Women's conference! I'm really excited for General Conference and can't believe its already here again. Love you!
