How are you guys? I am doing well here.
We have seen a lot of miracles/spiritual experiences this week. So we were able to teach A... and C.... and their family again. This time we brought the Sorelle and did kinda a musical number. I brought my viowin, Sorella Caroca brought her guitar and we played I am a Child of God while our companions sang. It was so good that by the end we had all of them clapping their hands African-style. That is where they alternate which hand is on top hahaha. It was really good because it brought the Spirit there so well. It also led into our lesson which was the Plan of Salvation. We were able to testify so strongly of Heavenly Father's plan for us and of the family being eternal. It was really good. There have been some really great lessons and some really so/so lessons in my mission but this one was gudu. I really felt the gift of tongues. Even though it was in English. BUT I'm trying to learn a little bit of Twi since they are all from Gana. Every time we go over there I ask them to teach me some stuff and they will say something and I will repeat it back to them and they will laugh and laugh haha. I really genuinely love them.
Another miracle is that we found another family to teach! The Br... family is from Serbia but have been here for a while. Their daughter was taught by the Sisters but then she went to Rome. One day we just decided to pass by their house because we only had an address for them. The door was literally open and I was like "hey are these the Bs?" and they were like "yeah come in and teach us!!!" Miracle. We taught them the restauration and it went really really well. The Mom, the Aunt and the Son were way into it. Fr... was like maybe 9yrs old and was watching TV, but a little bit into the lesson he turned it off and started listening intently. He was super happy when we gave him his own copy of the Book of Mormon. Miracle. Yeah if you ask me, he needs to get his TV watching skillz up to par because when I was his age and watching TV, you couldn't do anything to get me to turn it off let alone turning it off for a siritual message.
And then another miracle: We were coming home from doing calls in the church and this Raga (like a punk kid) comes up on a bike and starts heckling us as he passes. We just ignored it because it happens quite frequently. He had already passed us and was a good distance away but then outta nowhere he does a full 180 and comes to talk to us. He is really cool and his name is G... He is an aspiring rapper haha. We talked about music and weed and Jesus and then got his number. I think he's gonna come play soccer with us this Saturday!
K... is still doing great! He plays soccer with us still, but now he is taking the lessons! Kindof a funny story. Anziano Moss and I were thinking and praying about him and we both decide to take things slow and become his friend first. Then the first week that Anziano Ward got here, the Sorelle were all like, "We have an appointment with him and his family!" and I was like whaaaaaa!? I guess I am just happy that he can now be taught the lessons and that is the most important thing.
So yeah sorry I just spent most of this email talking about the work but that is what is on my mind (hard spiritual flex).
Conference was really heckin good this year. I am suuuper excited for this coming April. Yeah also my favorite was probably the one that said read the Book of Mormon erday erday erday. Either that one or Elder Uchtdorf's Hobbit one. That was a banger. So was the Prophet's flex-talk where he showed off all that the Church does as humanitarians.
Did you guys do my invitation from last week? if you didn't you know who you are and I invite you again to do some missionary work by talking with a friend about the Book of Mormon or something churchy. Do it!
I love you guys so so so much. Make sure you re-read conference talks this week!
Sincerely Anziano Tagg
