Weekly Letter to President Msane

February 19, 2018

Here's a letter to my mission president this week:

Dear President Msane,

We are seeing miracles here in Eldoret. Let me share a few. The other day we got to meet with an investigator named Judy for the first time. She has been facing a lot of trials with her husband's alcoholism and we were prompted to share with her Joshua 1:9. After she was done reading the scripture, she looked up at us and said "Is that really your favorite scripture? That is the scripture that I received when I was first married... It has always brought me peace." It was amazing.

On this past Saturday night, I received a call from the branch president alerting me that I would be speaking in sacrament meeting the next day speaking on family history and temple work. I gladly accepted. After my talk was over, there were many people that came up and shook my hand to tell me I did a nice job and that I have inspired them, though that is kind of happen stance when you give a talk. One of our investigators walked up and said, "I want you to baptize my mom." We said we would happily meet with her if she told us where she lives and she replied "She passed away a few years back. I want you to get her baptized in your temple." We talked her through the process and she very quickly accepted to be baptized herself so she can prepare to do the work for her ancestors. 

And you remember the family that we have been teaching? As icing on the cake, Brother Raphael told us about how he had once had the Book of Mormon about 6 years ago, but never knew what it was so he never read it. God has been trying to bring this great man to the gospel for years now! I am only grateful that I get to have part in the process. 

I promise that I could go on with experiences, for they have been plenty over here on these sides. I feel as if we are bringing to pass much good in our area!
