Well last night we had a lesson with Ayisat, our investigator. Maybe y'all don't really remember her because we hadn't seen her in about 3 weeks, but we saw her 2 times this week, and it was so great. The first lesson, we talked a lot about the Book of Mormon and she was not understanding anything we said. She is from Nigeria, and sometimes it is hard for them to understand. But today, the lesson was BOMB! We taught the Plan of Salvation, and it was amazing. She read the Book of Mormon and said now she understands about prophets and everything, which we explained like 4 times in the lesson before and she never got it. It was amazing!!!! I know the Spirit was helping so much. And she will be baptized March 31. It was seriously the best. Sorella Frandsen and I were whooping and hollering and praising Jesus the African way the whole mile run on the side of the dangerous highway to the train station! (We have to run because it's too dangerous to walk.)
We also saw Basirat and BJ this week, a husband and wife from Nigeria who are member referrals. We brought Friday, and it was so much better having another African there because they understood a ton more! And I think they are gonna get baptized April 7! They are still deciding on what date they want. The Lord has blessed us so much this week! It's been amazing! And I can see the blessings come as we have talked with more people, borne testimony, and exercised our faith. I love this work, and I have never had happier moments in my life than here on my mission! I know this Gospel changes lives, and I get to see it right before my eyes every day!
You people are great! Keep doing member missionary work and growing your personal testimonies! Allow the Gospel to change your life because it's so much better when you do. (: I love you all and I love to hear from you! Until next week!
Vi voglio bene,
Sorella Henderson
