Hey Hey Hey

No missionaries were actually hurt in the making of this photo.

So this week definitely had a good ending. Friday we had the chance to go to the temple which was awesome. Even if just to get away from the hustle and bustle of everything around it is sweet. Another thing that is pretty awesome is that it was announced that Jeffry R. Holland is coming to our mission on the 24th. Guess it will just be a pretty spiritual couple of days. Something else that went fairly well this week was just some good reactions from our investigators. We baptized a man and now his wife and children are feeling the desire to come to church. It will be sweet to see where that goes. Families are always nice.

We met a guy this week who I kept messing up his name but he was cool with it. His name is Emmanuel Fiakon and I couldn't pronounce the surname to save my life. It is suppose to be really throaty. He has been a member of his church for a really long time like about as long as Dad has been alive. About 10 years ago he was at a friend's house and read about Joseph Smith in a pamphlet or book. When we came along he said the pieces went a together a lot better since we explained about the apostasy. We'll just have to keep praying and see where it goes.

Something else that was sweet was we had a few people interviewed by the zone leaders and they basically told us that we had our goal reduced because the assistants thought it would be too big but now we are on track to exceed our old goal which will be even higher since they reduced it. Plus one lady I guess started crying because she is excited to be baptized so that is pretty sweet. Another thing that is more of a downer is that we need a couple abortion interviews from Pres. Smith. Guess it just is all a process. Last night I have a really crazy story. We were eating fufu at a member's house. They were having some kind of celebration in a compound nearby and well lots of drinking. We were eating and someone thought it would be great to say hey imagine if one of the drunk guys came over and wanted our fufu. Literally 5 mins after that we get a startle by a drunk guy basically running into the back of one of us. Yeah that was great to handle him and make him leave. It was wonderful but at least he wasn't too hard to handle. That is about it from me. I guess. I love you guys and hope everything is going fine.

ballin'!

Well I'm not doing as good as you that is for sure! I would love some juice, juice is SUPER expensive here. It is definitely a splurge of mine when I buy it. The mangoes are awesome. I have been chopping them like crazy the last few weeks.

Love the English language . . . don't you?

love Elder Gibson
