Wow, what a week it has been, it seems like every week gets faster and faster. The months start to blur together haha it's crazy. Cannot believe Christmas is next month. We've already received some training on the new initiative and it's going to be brilliant with the 25 days of service and also the "Light the World theme" so we are super super excited. Life is good. To be honest I don't have much time today to write, we have been running around with our heads cut off haha so I will share just a few highlights of the week. 

So first off, I don't know if I told you but we moved flats a few weeks ago and it has been quite a surprise adjusting from one council flat to another haha. But the new one has some sweet perks. It's smells like Ghanaian rice and weed haha. And our shower also doesn't work and hasn't since we moved in so we have been using a bucket, but it's all good hahaha we have gotten used to it so life is good. It's gotten pretty cold though so we will see what happens next. 

Building a shower curtain rod!

Success!  Now they just need the shower to actually work!

Next highlight is that K is doing super super well! So are J and L and F. L passed his baptismal interview this last week and he is super super ready. It has been so lovely to see the whole family come together to support him. K has really been experiencing a powerful conversion. When we first met him I'm pretty sure he had looked at every single anti church literature, he had told us a lot. We invited him to read the Book of Mormon intently a few weeks ago and instead of proving it wrong we invited him to prove it right! He is super super bright so he took the challenge. When he started reading he read up to 2 Nephi in just a few days and expressed how true he felt it was. He also expressed how not even the greatest author could write a book like the Book of Mormon because if how good it made him feel and how many questions it answered. He expressed how something so powerful had to have come from God. And that Jospeh smith has to be a prophet. It was so cool! My testimony was strengthened!!! He is looking very good for his baptism. It's so lovely to see that a man that has grown up Hindu has come to the knowledge of the restored gospel through the Book of Mormon. 

Lords Hand

I really saw the Lords Hand this week in K. He has shown so much commitment and has struggled a bit with the word of wisdom but the Lord has been so mindful of him and he has really been able to over come temptations. He really understand the principle of simply reading and praying. Because we really feel like that is what has kept him strong. 

I love you guys! Keep being the best. GO UTES!!!!! 

Love you!!!
