Things Are Going Swell Over On These Sides

February 26, 2018

The food miracle, 

God takes care of his children, ya know? He takes care of us in miraculous ways...  Ya know how in the african movie "Lion KinG 1 1/2" there is that song that goes, "Whaaaaat's on the menu, bla bla bla..." Well, here in Africa, we have been asking the same question, and we are being blessed with exactly what we are craving... Let me explain. Last week, me and Elder Ngele finished planning and we were just sitting in our flat chilling, when I said "We should make ugali and eggs tomorrow." He was like "Yeah. That sounds good". Low and behold, the next day we are at an investigator's home and what do they bring out? Ugali and eggs. Later on in the week, same scenario, Elder Ngele says "We should make ugali and mala tomorrow" I was like "Yeah, that sounds good". LOW AND BEHOLD, that next evening, at an investigator's house, what do they bring out??? Ugali and mala! Then comes Sunday, and we are walking with a member after some appointments telling him how amazed we were at this thing (being two for two) when jokingly I said "How would you feel about lasagna and chicken tomorrow?!" and my comp says "Yeah, that sounds good, pfff, if only" I tell him "Companion, The Lord will provide." AND LOW AND BEHOLD, the next day we get invited to have dinner at the couple's apartment AND WHAT DO THEY BRING OUT??? LASAGNA AND CHICKEN!!! WHAT IN THE WORLD?!?! It was a miracle, and it did not stop there... Just the other day, just before we went on exchanges we were talking about what we were wanting to eat, Elder Ngele says that he was wanting some chapo and potato stew, but I had a sweet tooth... I wanted some Sour Patch Kids, so much so that I even thought about asking if anyone loved me enough back home to send me two big bags of them. But the next day I switched with another missionary. While I'm away, Elder Ngele is fed potato stew and chapati, and I find that the missionary I exchanged with (this being his first transfer in the field) had brought a big bag of Sour Patch Kids from home and put it in his closet. So I took some. ;) ;)..... But don't worry, I didn't take a lot... And maybe don't post this one on the blog, cause I don't want him to have any way of knowing that I took some... It's supposed to be a secret... But anyways! How is that possible?! How is that possible... Well I'll tell ya. Obedience brings blessings and exact obedience brings miracles. Me and Elder Ngele have been working our tails off over here trying to be obedient and help people progress and it has been a crazy experience. The only tough part, is that all at once I have a greater desire to listen to Fleet Foxes... All at once I feel like secular music would be real nice right about now... And you know that I had brought that MP3 thing with me when i left! Haha, I don't want to go back to that stuff, so pray for me! Anywho! I love you guys! The beach looks really nice!

P.S. We had a baptism last Sunday for a guy named John. He's a super cool guy.
