Elder Mackinnon Lyman: Happy, Regardless Week 13

(The letter Elder Lyman wrote to the group did not work this week so he quickly tried to type in a few quick things from the past week on the mixed-up French keyboard. He was pretty disappointed and hopes it works better next week.)

Bonjour from Côte d’Ivoire! Week 13 was great! This week was our worst numbers-wise, but I’ve been happy, regardless.

The singing practices at Toit Rogue last week were for a multi-mission meeting at Cocodril on Mardi. 4 different mission presidents were there, along with Elder Kearon from the seventy, and there were over 300 missionaries! We sang, and Elder Kearon gave a wonderful talk. Missionaries from all over who were friends in the MTC were reunited, and it was a really cool thing to see.

Here's some experiences from the week:

I lost my ventements du bapteme at the paroisse on samedi. It was pretty devastating. I said a ton of prayers, and eventually, I found them! Prayer is real guys.

On Vendredi we went to a missionary activity in a different sector. We proselyted for about an hour and I got absolutely FRIED. It was good though, we found 9 new people to teach for the elders over there.

We caught crabs at the paroisse on samedi. We ate them that night, and they weren't that bad.

Discovered that passionfruit juice is THE BEST THING EVER.

Our ward's primary program happened on dimanche, and it went well. Because Elder Kalala and I had been helping with it, they gave us food after it finished. The food was chicken feet. It was definitely not the best...

We asked Fr Daniel to be baptized on dimanche too! He's so receptive to the gospel and he sometimes understands stuff about the gospel before we even see him. The Spirit has worked wonders in his heart for sure. He's scheduled to be baptized on the 30th!

Sorry, no spiritual thought for this week, my keyboard is having troubles. Just know that your Father in Heaven loves you infinitely, and he will always be ready to help you if you ask for it! I hope your week went well! Vous me manquez et je vous aime!
