Hey everyone! It's been another great week out here in Côte d'Ivoire. This was my first full week working with Elder Leight in the Atlantique and Aéro-Cité wards. We've been having a great time and we've been working really hard. I come home exhausted every day and I couldn't be happier about it.
My favourite experience this week took place on Saturday. I'm still teaching the English class that I started in my old ward because neither of the missionaries who are currently serving there speak English. Elder Leight and I were a bit late because we had an appointment with an ami and it takes a long time to travel home from our secteur.
As we were walking up to the church building, my old bishop came running out and telling us that there are nearly 40 people waiting to learn English from us. Astonished and surprised (especially considering that last week's attendance was only 5), we made our way upstairs to find a packed classroom. There were so many people, in fact, that we had to split the class in half and teach them in two separate rooms. It was awesome to get to teach English to such a crowd, and to share the gospel along with it.
It's been a great week filled with great experiences and I can't wait to see what experiences the next one will hold.
