The past couple of weeks have gone really well. I can't really remember what happened during that time period. Time flies when your having fun, I guess. I don't really feel bad not writing detailed emials anymore. So don't be disappointed if this one is not very detailed.
I guess I'll start with our investigators. The Gbabay family is doing great!! I'm so excited for them. The father, Augustine, and the eldest son, Solomon, have been coming to church very consistently for the past three months and from what we can tell have gained atestimony of the restored gospel. This past week we retaught lesson one (because that is the foundation of our faith) and it was amazing. It was like I could see the lights turning on in their minds as we connected all four lessons back to the restoration. Its kind of like an epiphany moment. I could feel light entering into them. The very next lesson we reviewed the baptismal interview questions with thema nd they basically retaught the restoration in their own words and with thier tesimonies of how they know its true. And even better, the rest of the family (the mother, Christiana, Aminata, Pius, Alfred, and Florence) all came to church yesterday. The branch is welcoming them warmly and things are looking good. Augustine and Solomon will be baptized on the 5th of June. Everything else seems to be going good.
I'm staying very busy. We are getting ready to travel again. This time to Liberia for almost two weeks. I'm pretty exctited to attend the District Conference because I'll get to see the Congo Town people again. I hope everyone has a great week. Elder Degen
