  Hi everyone! Its been a really good week! My friend Quentin got baptized on Sunday. I want to tell you his story because its so awesome.  So he is Nigerian, he was born and raised in Toronto but he lived in Grand Prairie Alberta last year. He met some Sister Missionaries on the street one day and they taught him for a while and he was almost baptized but he wasn't ready. Another set of Missionaries tried to help him be baptized again, but he wasn't ready. That takes us to this December. So he was being taught for a hot minute. Then he came back to Toronto, and the sisters from Alberta sent us his info and said not to give up on him.  So my comp called him everyday for a lot of weeks and then one day he answered and said he wanted to find the truth on his own time. So she stopped calling him. Then I came and during my second week here, we had institute and Quentin just randomly showed up and said can you please help me be baptized. LIKE WHAT! We still don't really know w...

 Hello again, I feel like im emailing you guys everyday, P-day just keeps coming up faster and faster. But it's good im excited to update y'all on everything.  This week was so good we now have 4 friends on date! They are all amazing and have strengthened my testimony of this gospel so so much. I'm so excited for them! Monday to Tuesday I exchanged with our STLs. I was with Sister Johnson!! I love her she's awesome and such a diligent missionary I learned so much from her. We taught one of our friends about the 10 commandments and when we said thou shall not Kill, he said we shouldn't kill with knife, but in Nigeria, we kill with gun... Yeah that was crazy so we had to make sure he knew any killing is against the commandments🤣 then we had FHE and we played telestrations! It was fun but it's definitely more fun with my family. And yesterday we got WingStop! Idk if you guys have ever tried it... but it is literally the best chicken tenders ive ever had. I got the...

He's so cool, he desires to be baptized so much! Yesterday we taught him the plan of salvation and i told him that God's plan is for us to have joy now and forever and he said he can just tell that we are a happy people. He said everyone he meets that is a part of our church is always smiling and seems so happy and he said he already feels happier when he is with us! I know the joy that we have is because of Jesus Christ! We know that death isn't the end and we can change and become better everyday. I'm so grateful that I get to help people come closer to him. We have another friend that was referred to us who ...
