"Friends"

The friends here have been so welcoming! We really like the congregation we're in. As you can see from below they'll just take your hand and walk with you out in service. It's pretty endearing, (a little awkward ;) but mostly very sweet. They're doing a good job of showing us the ropes of how to preach here. :)

Each meeting we have been getting to know more of the brothers and sisters and their stories. The more we learn the more we appreciate them. 

Katie has found her partner for the day. ;)

Service here has been quite a fun experience so far! :) We're getting more and more return visits and studies that we're excited to go back on. Getting to these new found calls however will be another story as there are no street names or addresses to go by... just a lot of intertwined dirt roads. :o We're learning to take really good notes on how to get to places that we don't even remember how we came to! ;p  One note is 'turn left at the round about by the unfinished building' ;). Today on my way home I was able to talk to an older woman, "Mama" (what you call older women) who was laying on a bench resting in her little lean-to. We started talking and she told me she didn't really understand much french so she went and got her daughter who help her understand the scripture I shared. We all had a nice visit and before I left she asked me to bring her a bible in Yoruba the dialect that she speaks. Now I have new friends not far from where we live. ;)

Getting ready for the invitation work!

How could you say no to her?

He's all smiles all the time. ;)

We started a bible study with this bebe's mama last Friday. We're planning on visiting her tomorrow! 

Hope you are all well!
