Its Independence Day here!!! Many people are out partying.
My companion is Elder Chitenda. He's from Congo and speaks French. I am the junior companion. The car went to the other area so we’ll be even more like Christ…traveling everywhere on foot!
Baptisms are mostly the same as in States. We sing , have talks, then baptize them in a tub. The tub is just outside with no cover so it just gets dirty. ( before a baptism we have to get up early and scrub the tub) and then have them bear their testimony. They then are welcomed in by the presiding officer. Welcome to Africa!
As for the Elders serving here-they come from all over. Two Africans for every white guy. Most of us are from the States and a few South Africans.
I would love to send more this week but the internet sucks here today. Next week I will send a long, long letter. Love you all!
