Yep Still Here

Nothing big this week just some pictures with some stories.

First picture: A brother of a member of the church here is a self proclaimed prophet so in this picture he's telling Elder Summers that he is going to be a pastor in a different church, wearing a black robe, and probably die without a family. Also told us it was his destiny so he could do nothing to change it; we tried to explain free agency to him but I think the concept went over his head.

Second picture: A random kid pulled up a cardboard box next to where we were sitting, climbed in, and then started to cry hysterically. His mother came over and started to yell at us because she thought we put him in the box but we tried to explain it to her and she just asked why would he do that, that doesn't make sense. I agreed and then she slapped me. So thanks random box kid.

Third picture: On Saturday we got a call from Fr Joachim, and he said that he was in town so we met up with him and turns out every bishopric from Benin was at our building for some eccliastrical training from Ghana. So I got to see some old friends from Benin that I have not seen in quite a while. I took a lot of pictures with them but here's one with me Joachim, Patrick and David.
