...all is well, God has a plan, we are okay as long as we are living right. Right? Tomorrow is our half way date. Soon will be yours. It is count down time instead of count up. ha ha. It has been a great learning experience to be here. We haven't changed the world but hopefully we have helped someone as we chip away at teaching them the proper way to do their branch. The people here are great, I guess good people everywhere, we are just learning patience, we can't change these things overnight. This Sat. we had the opportunity to take a couple to the Temple to get their endowments and be sealed. It was a great day. Today we are watching the DVD that will be shown in our Branch this next Sunday. It is a West Africa Conference and the speakers are Pres. Holland and Pres. Uchtdorf. It is good and speaks to the African level. Keep us all in your prayers and we will keep you in ours. Time goes by some days fast and some days slow, but the Gospel is the same and we are happy to be sharing it to the third world people.
