Comment vas-tout le monde? So I'm being transferred to Benin. I going to the branche of Fidrosse and I'm going to be working with Elder Indayi(he is from the Congo.) I'm really excited to go to Benin, but it is wierd to think that I'm leaving Togo behind. I really love Togo, the people are so great here. Although, I'm excited to work with the people of Benin. I heard that they are great. I also heard that my new companion is a great missionary too. So yeah, I'm really excited. Also i guess that means you will have to change my clock because Benin is an hour ahead. I guess that means i am going to experience Daylight saving times in a way.
Okay, this week has been a lot of fun and a lot of success. Many of our amis are really progressing now. I had a really miraculous experience the other day. We were just walking down the road to the next appointment when we decided to stop and talk to this lady who owned a small boutique. I thought we were probably just leave her a brouchure because we were kind of in a hurry. As we started to talk to her, i realized we really need to talk the time and have a lesson with her right then. We had just a small lesson about the restoration. She seemed very touched by the message and seemed really interested. So i learned a very important lesson that we never know who God wants us to talk but we just need to be open to the Spirit and willing to talk to everyone.
Also this week we have been teaching an ami who used to work on sunday. We explained to him the importance of the Sabbath Day. I thought that maybe this would torque him. It didn't really. He asked a few questions and we gave him a few scriptures to read, and he accepted it. I realized the simple truth that we don't need to be afraid to ask people to respect the commandments because we know they bring blessings and that God will help us keep them also. Also that he was obviously prepared before we ever arrived.
So this week has been a great week. I also went and played Basketball today. We played for 3 hours. It was a lot of fun and it was good to see all of the other missionaries before i go to Benin.
Well, I love you all and hope all is well. Next week, I'll be writing you from Benin. That's pretty exciting.
Je vous aime beaucoup meme,
