January 21, 2019 Attecoube (Week 19)

Hey Family,

This week was really great!!!!!! This transfer is going to be really good the Lord is soo amazing!!!! I have just seen him prepare me in so many ways for each transfer!!! I will be staying here in this secteur and will be training my 3rd son! At first I was super mad I was training again so I just went to my room and just got on my knees to pray for peace and it was just so incredible!!! I know with no doubt in my mind that this is exactly what the Lord wants and it is no question that is why I will be ending with that American president! This has been a bumpy ride but man has it been great! I have come so close to the Lord in so many ways!!! I will get my son tomorrow so we will see what nationality he is! I have a strong feeling he will be an english speaker. It is interesting because I have been praying so hard that I’ll be transferred and every time I just had a feeling I will train and then it happened but yeah it will be really great cuz we will have a baptism this Saturday for the fr constant!! Sadly we didn’t get those other investigators to church but I just know they will come. They are so close if they can just make it to church they will be baptized!!! Pray they can come to church!!!! They read the scriptures and have testimonies but they don’t come to church it is sooo hard to see but when you look at it you realize that everyone has their own agency! It kills you but all you can do is warn them and NEVER give up on them! I may be transferred and other missionaries in a year from now will baptize them like what has happened with fr pacome! I hope we can get him baptized!!! He just has to get out of all his sins. He loves going to hotels and bars! He parties tooo much and has a wife at port bouet. Its a sad situation but with the help of the Lord it can be made right!!! Sounds like u guys had a good week! Yeah that reminds me of the time I saw the blood moon here I will never forget it. I was at port bouet when it happened!!! Yeah I know that’s it tough with him leaving but don’t think in the present. Realize that he is going to become a man in the service of the Lord! There is no other way!!! The Lord will continue to strengthen you!!! Don’t worry grandpa will come lift you up! I think he’s got me back on my two feet for the moment! Plus you need it more hahahahaha!!! Just be patient with yourself! Regarding running mom, you will be back there and when I get home i’ll start running with you again!! I gotta get my rice belly away hahaha I got this small little roll hahaha and my arms are skin and bone and I got a little roll hahahahahahahahah! Man, I’m jealous you’re getting so much snow! I want to go snowboarding sooo bad hahahahahahah!!! Soon!!! In like 9 months hahaha!!!

So here’s a quick summary of the week since I didn’t get a chance to give you a recording. Tuesday was conference mulit zone so that was dope! had some great lessons on obedience and integrity! Wednesday we saw fr constant and then went and saw sr evelyne and sr joelle. It was a great lesson. We thought for sure they’d come to church but they didnt come sadly hahah Then Thursday we saw this one new investigator that came two weeks ago to church and is seriously golden!!!! She’s sooooo awesome her name is sr nyomie!!!!! She told us she wants to be baptized but has to talk to her dad so she will be baptized February! So hopefully right before I get transferd she’ll get baptized!!! We then went and tried to see this lady sr catherine that we contacted a while ago and ended up finding her younger sister at the house and had a good lesson with her. She doesn’t know if God exists and thinks that it is all fake and human made so we will help her with time hahhaha! Friday was good we saw sr tabitha and sr joelle again it was great lessons!! Saturday we saw fr pacome and taught with this guy fr tehin who is a member and camùe to find out it was him that referred him to the first missionaries and so we had him come to the lesson and it was so amazing the spirit was soo strong man in this lesson and in the one for sr nyomie like I almost started crying when sr nyomie was saying she wanted to serve a mission and get baptized and then she started crying a bit it was so insane man it was such a great week man!!!!

Well I love you sooo much!!!!! Have an awesome week!!!

Love,

Elder LeBaron
