the week started off and we got to see all of our main amis. They were all doing super well and things were just looking so great. Carmelina went into the hospital one wednesday and apparently had just the cutest baby girl ever. she named it Nellya after the baby's grandmother, Nelly. We've yet to seen it but that's ok because we're going tonight to have a little family home evening.
Our ami who has a baptismal date is really starting to progress and is getting better every time we see him. He has officially stopped smoking and hopefully stays in line just until his baptism. it was great to see him make the resolve to quit and then see how the hand of the lord plays a work in everything. He is super cool.
Fabrice is just blowing my mind more and more with how much progression he is making since being a member. We taught him about member missionary work this week and he told us that he knew he needed to do it. The elders who speak spanish will be teaching with him this week because they have an ami who lives not too far from Fabrice. I sat by Fabrice this sunday during sacrament meeting and to my surprise he was taking notes! He said he loved the talk so much that he needed to write down all the scripture references. what a guy. He is also working really hard on his wife to get her to be baptized. she's really against it because her mother is a preacher of sorts in Congo and she's been raised that way her whole life, but she's got too many good ifluences around her now. i think she'll be baptized soon
one thing that really shocked me was the way a couple of our amis reacted who had been progressing extremely well. They both told us that they would never be baptized and that they already had been saved by the catholic church. It's sad to see that but i guess the lord puts trials in our way to make us stronger. we are going to try and teach them both about the restoration of the authority even though i've explained it about 10 times.
The zone isn't changing a whole ton this transfer but it was super cool news to know that my son(Elder Eldredge) will be training so i will receive a grandson. it's funny because my grandfather was trained where i was trained and now elder eldredge will train where i was trained. how interesting. it's cool that i get to be there zone leader for at least one more transfer
all is well here!
