Hello everybody!!! First thing I'll say, because I know
you're all wondering, is no, Coronavirus is not here in Cote d'Ivoire. So the
work is progressing like normal! We have one investigator, Sr Sandrine, who is
continually progressing towards her baptismal date on the 14th of March which
is exciting, and we have another investigator, Sr Melissa, who is so ready to
get baptized so we are going to try to get her set for the same date this week.
Something kinda funny from the sector this week is one of our investigators was
telling us the reasons for which he started talking to us. He said the first
reason is because the valley we were in is run by the gangs. He said all the
guys do down there in deal drugs, steal, and kill and he was afraid that if we
kept walking around down there looking kinda clueless we would get jumped. So
he called us over to make friends with us so that the other guys knew that we
had a friend there and not to touch us. Second reason was he wanted to hear
about our message. He has turned out to be a really good investigator and he
even speaks English because he escaped to Nigeria during the war!
Another kinda
fun thing I did this week was I ate dog. We did splits at Dabou and one of the
Elders had ordered dog with sauce grain and so I had a little bit and it was
DELICIOUS! Kinda made me think of Halle a little bit which was a very grim
thought but it tasted good!
Andrew added the picture of Halle for dramatic effect...
We had stake conference this week and I was
surprised with how normal it was. They had a good choir and like it seemed like
I was at a stake conference at home. It was nice to really feel the spirit at a
church meeting again! We also had 8 investigators that came and that was
amazing considering they all had to pay transport and it wasn't at the normal
chapel as usual.
Another week without drinking water. We do have dirty shower
water but only bags for drinking. Probably the most annoying thing right now is
just the fact we have no clean plates or utensils. They are all just sitting in the
kitchen growing mold on them. HAHAHAH
Another good week overall. Shutout Ben love you bro. Thanks
everyone for praying for me though! We are really in this together!
Bisou,
Elder Freedman
