Dear Family,
This week nothing too exciting. Elder Egbu and I now have 6 days left together. Its saddddd! This last thursday we found out that our area harbel 1 will be closing down. So sad news is i will be leaving harbel to go in town. I thought i was going to avoid town for the rest of my mission, guess not. I will miss the bush like frog which is saddddd. So ya i still don't know exactly where i am going though which makes it even more sad. But next week i probably wont be emailing you from harbel.
But we are really trying to work hard with Elder Egbu being his last week proselyting. We are focusing on our recent converts like crazy because we wont them to be very strong because no missionaries will teach them. The Zone Leaders will still be in there area but we will be going.
We have tried to help our people in the best way possible. We realized that many people both men and women alike don't understand much about the Priesthood. So we are going to be focusing on that through out the next week and help as many people as possible.
By the way i love the new front yard it looks great. Shalese looks amazing, and her husband didn't shave. am i judging yes just because sometimes i want a beard too!!!!
We had a really good lesson yesterday with one of our investigators named Martha Tambah. We invited our relief Society to sit down with us. We talked about the importance of keeping the Sabbath Day holy! As Martha sells cold water on Sunday. Sis koineg, the relief society president, bore one of the most powerful testimonies of keeping the sabbath day holy. Not going to lie before this happened we hadn't had a very good teaching week due to excessive rain and people working at our house. So this little small short lesson just made my week to say ya it was a good week. Times when you feel the spirit when other people bear their testimonies just makes my day or week just turn out great! Im sure it was heavenly father answering my prayers.
Today we were suppose to be at a chicken farm eating at a restaurant for my companion Elder Egbu last p day, the place is in our zone but kind of far away. When i woke up this morning i had a small prompting that said, maybe you need to ask President if you could go. This never crossed my mind or the zone leaders minds but i feel like it was the spirit so i said it to the zone leaders. The zone leaders thought about it and decided to call. Which ya we didn't get approved to go. We don't really know why but i feel as though it was the right thing to do, and talking to the other missionaries they all felt the same way. I am just thankful for the spirit to be with us, to guide and protect us even.
Well not much else to talk about, just know we are needing all the prayers we can get out here. I am truly thankful to be a missionary. This has really changed my life being here and learning the things i have. I love you all.
