So in the last email i told you about how my first rendez-vous accepted baptism well we had a similar experience with that the other day! So we are teaching this man from Congo named Arnaud. He is about 26 or soand he is just money! He is the golden contact! So we began teaching him and the spirit just filled the room and finally we asked him what he thought about it all.... He says i believe it i know its true! We were blown out of the water! So we commited to baptism and he said no..... We we're like what the heck!? He said it was because he had already been baptized and such. So we then understood and then the spirit like filled my heart and i just said what came to mind! I told him it was more than a symbol but the first and most essential step to salvation. He understood after i said what i needed to say and said he would think about it but he was pretty sure he wants to be baptized again! How cool right????!!!!!! THe only issue is that he is going to Paris for the month and so we need to wait until he comes back to teach and baptise him! So right now he isn't one of the three but he'll get baptized soon!
I wish i could tell you all of the stories that have been happening here but there wouldn't be enough time in the day! So kinda some miscealaneous things going on here! We went to a wedding it was one of the coolest most cultural experiences of my life! It was in a 16th century Castle and the marriage was dont in a room that was crazy old i dont know the exact date though! It was super legit the wife is a member so the ward was invited and such! at the dinner i ate the most revolting things ever though. I didn't know until after the fact though. One was the sinuses of a pig cooked in its own blood!!!! It tasted like ginger, blood and death! And the other revolting things was the spiciest pepper i've ever eaten. It was in this pasta stir-fry type thing and i thought that it was a bell pepper......It wasn't it was the african equivalent to a ghost pepper! I honestly almost started crying! So yeah that was horrible........Another experience we ran into a guy who was a Christian Muslim. Born Christian but understands Muslim. Weird Right?! We can't teach Muslims becasue most of the time there family will threaten there life if they convert. But he is a halfer! Definatley super bizzare! As far as i know that is all the cool stuff that has happened so far here.
