YE ELDERS OF ISRAEL, COME JOIN NOW WITH ME

Well...this week was super super good!!!  Probably another one of those weeks that have been just the best! Let me tell you what went down...

This week we taught a total of 39 lessons. Pretty crazy, but super cool! Pretty much everyone wanted to speak to us and we taught them and then they didn't have time during the week to meet with us again so they just gave us their phone numbers. The only bad thing that happened this week was that people couldn't set up another rendez-vous with us and we got so many phone numbers that we can't count them all. This week kind of just blew me away. We are just really blessed and I am really grateful for it. Sometimes I feel like I don't deserve it but I can't complain. Anyways...

First off, on Monday were on exchanges and I was with an Elder Allen who lives in our apartment. We taught this guy named Logis. He is from Madagascar and let me just tell you that he is an interesting dude...haha. During the rendez-vous we tried to teach him about the Restoration which we did, but the problem is that he just didn't listen to us. He just explained the whole time that when he prayed he would see a full moon with the face of Jesus on it and how he would speak with Jesus. So pretty weird. And by the way...did I tell you he is a masseuse? By the end of the lesson we prayed and then after the prayer he looked at Elder Allen and said, "You are stressed" then he pointed his finger at him, got up and then started to give him a massage...haha. We were all so shocked and I barely could hold myself from laughing. The best part of it is that I took pictures with our phone! Hopefully next time he will pay attention.

Later on this week I went on an exchange with a guy from my group. Hid name is Elder Lloyd. It was fun and we saw a lot of cool miracles. Everyone was on an exchange that day.

Elder Bailey and I did two Family Home Evenings with our amis. One with Lin and another one with Alexis. They went super well. They both seemed to love the idea of FHE.

Cesaire is doing well. He was finally able to come to church and he really liked it. His basketball season is ending soon so we are going to be seeing him a lot more to help him get ready for his baptism. :)

Other than that, we're just teaching, finding, and having a good time. Well we're off right now to do a FHE with a member and Cesaire.  And....we're going to be playing some bball. OH YEAH!!!

Have a great time! Love you all!!! :)
