"...they are all saying their prayers even with us on the side of the road." Week 65

Hello Everyone!

So this has been a good week! We were able to meet with heaps of our investigators. They are all doing good.  We are just working on getting them to church more! SO the baptism of that one family has been pushed back a week or two just so they can have some more time to learn and come to church. 

So that family truly is awesome. They are from Nigeria and just love learning about this gospel. Just yesterday we were over there and we were ending our lesson with them and as I prayed everytime I said Jesus Christ they would say amen because they thought I was ending the prayer.  By the end everyone was just cracking up so I ended it quick haha. We are growing close to them though, I baked them my moms famous cinnamon rolls and  they loved it! 

We work with these kids a couple times a week that are the nieces and nephews of a recent convert. This week has been awesome with them. They want to be baptized so badly we just need to work with the parents more, some are for it some are not. We will see though! 

The other week we were out doing a miracle walk and we ran into this group of kids that always ride their bikes around. They were making fun of us and all that and following us and finally I turned aro und and was like hey, you want to see a magic trick? and they were like ya sure and came riding in. I started doing some magic and they went crazy haha, Now we meet with them once or twice a week and they are all saying their prayers even with us on the side of the road. They say we are part of their group now haha. They are really cool though, they probably range from 10-16 years old and there is like 8 of them. They love meeting up and learning and they also like the occasional magic trick haha. 

its been cool the last 2 weeks or so we just walk everywhere and we have been able to talk to a lot of kids. Around this area there is heaps of government housing and all that and so a lot of these kids come from some hard backgrounds. But we have just levelled with them, we talk to them they tell us whats going on in their life and we help them. We pray with them and just be their friend. Now when we walk around its like all the kids know us and will come running up to us and just walk with us wherever we are going. I do some magic for them too  haha, I love magic! I will usually show them the trick after though!

I learned a new skill this week! I can now tear phone books in half so that has been fun!

Well everyone have a good week! love you!
