yet another happy week!!!!

Hoi Familie!!

 Ik hope alles goed met jullie is!!  It was a good week last week, we kind of have been sifting through investigators for a while, but were starting to get some more investigators that are actually investigating!  We met this one man, his name is Ali, he's from iraq, and in fact worked with the american army for many years during the height of the iraqi war.  It was through the american service men that he learned about jesus christ, and started to believe.. he lived in italy for a long long time, so he's fluent in italian, and that's where he met the church, and he studied with missionaries there and really loves the book of mormon and church activities!  We gave him an arabic book of mormon, and he has been reading that like crazy, in one evening, he read all the way to Jacob 2.. craziness, he's worried about baptism thought, because all his family is muslim.. so he's said he's not ready, but he's very positive.. we read Moroni's promise, and when we explained it, he said, "okay, let us pray then, and ask if it's true.." so he bowed his head, said a silient prayer, and were a little taken back, but we do the same, and when he was done, he looked at us and smiled and nodded and asked "that's the holy ghost right,?" but the name of the holy ghost in itailian, and we nod, and say yes.. that's the holy ghost.. so he was happy and we left, and now we'll see where it goes!  Christiana and Isaac are doing wonderful as usual, had a wonderful lessen with them this past week on dispensations and apostasy, got pictures and made a timeline so they could see the different prophets and periods of time, and gave an explanation of the bible.. christiana had great questions and was able to voice some concerns that she had, and isaac, wow, that man, he's amazing, before he would translate everything she said, especially when she had questions, but now he just answers and resolves her concerns.. so everything is going great, she understands, and Isaac received the priesthood yesterday, which was great!  He asked me to perform that, first time i have ever gave someone the preisthood before!  It was a pretty cool expirience, and afterwards, I said to Christiana "Your turn!" and she just smiled and laughed.. going super well.. Other than that, were still visiting and focusing on Kwame, trying to help him with his Addictions.. were really going to put an extra focus on him this week, to see if we can help him and his daugther reach there baptismal date at the end of the month.. so pray for them, they have it the most right now!  We've been visiting a lot of inactives, and seeing great things, had some really good visits.. a lot of these people, they just need love, and they need some attention, something that they feel they haven't had, we have re-activated one lady her name is nancy, a recent convert, really enjoying church again, and makes us nigerian food everytime we go over there.. this week we have a  lot of dinner appointments with less-acitves which is super!  Allows us the chance to get to know them better in a calm setting..  Simon, the refferal from Tiffani, sent me a text yesterday, and were going to be going over there on saturday, that should be fun, I'm really looking forward to that.. so yeah.. Other neat things that happened I witnessed for the first time in my life someone proposing to somone!  It happened also yesterday, it was the teacher of our sunday school class, he's a recent convert from nigeria, and his girlfriend is also a recent convert from nigeria, and during the middle of the lessen he pulls out the ring and asks her to marry her.. pretty cool stuff, pretty smooth! 

Well, hope that you all have a wonderful week! Love you loads,
