Breakfast is pretty much always disappointing. I'll sometimes eat cereal with yoghurt or use a banana instead of a spoon. Or bread with cheese, sometimes an egg too. I ate leftover yellow rice this morning, and last week I ate leftover Bruine Bonen once. I hope to find a ton of mangos today, that's my true desire. I eat at least 3 bananas a day.
Monday last week we went to the Van Tholl's house. There we met with 6 active members who all live in the same area, we talked about how we could boost the amount of members in the neighborhood. They came up with an idea of starting a class there, aimed at teaching the men to be better fathers. It's a huge task. But it'll be good, we start Saturday. There is a beer here called Guinness. They have a slogan, "after work is guinness time" that slogan has destroyed fatherhood in this country. Many many men sit outside the supermarket all night drinking beer.
We've got two progressing investigators right now. They are Jerry and Ingrid. We're helping them to get married and baptized. This will take place over the next 40 days I think. They were wanting to get married on January 3, because that's their daughters birthday, but then Ingrid had a vision last week where a man in white with her son came and told her to get baptized on another day. She decided to do so and the whole branch seems to be excited to help them. They are getting fellowshipped really well, and they are a legitimate family! Jerry had an infection in his leg 3 years ago. They removed it, but then left him sitting in his bed with an open wound for 5 days in the hospital. They then had to amputate his left leg, so he has only a stub. He seems to be handling it really well. The same thing happened with a member 2 years ago. He had an infection, so they removed part of his leg, but then realized it was the wrong leg, so now he has no legs. This story ended kind of sad, but they are both well on their way to the Celestial kingdon. Love you lots
