hey family!
how are you all. just before i forget . . . right
after i finished my letter last week the power cut in the cyber and we couldn't
do anything so if you ever don't get a letter for a week don't freak out ¾ just africa.
this week was amazing, again. 9 baptisms on
saturday!!! woohoo!! i gave my camera to someone to take some pictures and he
took videos.... elder stagg took some pictures though and i gave him your email
so he'll probably send that to you. we had 19 baptisms at the kegue
building. i think it's a record. 12 from anfame. which means
we had 12 confirmations on sunday during sacrament meeting. yes.
We baptized a family:
fofo - the father, damienne - the mother, gabine, juliette and julienne - three daughters at home with age of baptism.
they are amazing! fofo has 10 kids total, 9 girls. there are three
other daughters at home - edoh, delali and fabricia.
also there was amivi, a lady that we've been teaching
with helene, who was another that was baptized. helene moved into a
member family; her uncle and amivi are neighbors.
then 8 and 9 are two kids that have been coming to church
for months now ¾
pascaline and emmanuel are sister and brother.
on top of that we just fixed the dates for djimdo and his
family for the 8th february. another family! this is all the miracles i
was talking about; djimdo is the best! he's pretty much bald with a
little white goatee that i'm pretty sure the key to his source of knowledge and
power. kinda like samson. his wife doesn't like it that much though....
but we've convinced her that he'll keep it until the baptism so we can get his
picture in white with the barbe [beard]. he's super smart. he's
friends with fofo too. his name is cool too. djimdo means i am
unbreakable kind of; they explained it that it's like after everyone else
cracks he doesn't. that he is stronger that anything. it's the
barbe.
sad news though. mutations [transfers].... elder
dagrou is heading over to benin tomorrow. im going to work with a
malagash. elder Ravelojoana. i don't really know him that well i've
just seen him a couple of times. but he goes home with elder Ouonnebo in
april i think. i'm sad to see elder
dagrou go. he'll finish his mission in benin though most likely.
mutations.... well i love you all. have a great day off school.
thank you all for your letters and stories.
Love
Elder Rybin
