12/5/2019 -- B. Benson was baptized today!

12/1
B. Benson was baptized today! I was honestly worried that he’d disappear and re-appear next week because it was raining, and the Kenyans don’t do well with the cold, but he did come!

We spent some time in the evening playing a game with a bunch of missionaries to celebrate my birthday and E. Macapella going home. It was my own version of DND.

Why do I even bother writing something for today?

Most interesting thing was that my comp didn’t come till almost 10pm.

Well, mostly wandering today. Elder Tolbert is way too powerful for me (even if he denies it) and we had 10 people contacted like *that*. No lessons or anything, but we did stop by to see some members.

We got lost today.

We started with DDM, then we started looking for the home of this Less Active Member that we had arranged with, but I got us lost since I couldn’t remember the first turn, and guessed wrong.

The member had to come pick us up at one point, an hour after the appointment was supposed to start. Loads of fun that.

We had a few visits today, the first was with Mama Cynthia’s family and we ended up sharing “The Christ Child” video the church put out for Light the World this year. The scene with the Wisemen got me as we were watching, I teared up a bit.

We then went to see S. Esther and ran into her son by chance, so we were able to talk to them both for a bit. He ended up promising that he’d come to church this week, which isn’t something we pushed him into, but his mother did.

He left in the middle of the lesson after that then we answered some of S. Esther’s questions since she keeps having more and more about life after death – the fortunate thing is that she’s asking questions we have doctrine about.

This evening was a bloodbath. We were playing Skip-Bo and it got heated. There were shouts of “I just play for fun” and a tsukkomi of “I don’t believe you!”

That was E. Madsen and I by the way, he is super competitive but has been trying to tame it recently, but I still don’t believe him when he says he doesn’t care anymore.
