But more about our week: we got to meet with all of our less-actives (that we regularly meet with) and new converts in the ward. One of our converts, Enrico, was baptized last year and is just the strongest new member ever. He's over thirty (although he would never tell us how old he actually is), unmarried, but just has the sweetest heart and loves the Sisters. He would do anything for us! He teaches us German and we teach him English and we always have such a good time.
So if you're still wondering about all of our African investigator men, let's add another one of them to the list. A few days ago we got this super weird phone call from one of our former investigators who we have never met and I swear to you this guy sounded so drunk on the phone. He wanted us to meet with him at his house and I told Sister Egbert to tell him that we could meet him at the church and he said, "I believe you are afraid, woman." We laughed about it but at the same time we were sketched out about our appointment. We were still out and about before our appointment when he called us and was already at the church so we had to hurry there and he didn't have much time so we just had to stand outside and talk. But it turns out that he was actually just concerned for our safety and wants to meet. He even came to church yesterday! And we have a joint teach for today! I love when stuff like this happens because I know the Lord wouldn't trust us with His investigators if we weren't doing our part in being obedient, diligent, and pure. Of course we are far from being perfect, but it is [through] our daily efforts and inner desire that the Lord really takes note of and blesses us for.
Sorry I ran out of time to write more, I forgot to even send this email cause I got caught up in other things. [Ed. note: probably playing with the new ipad instead.] Gotta run! Love you all!
