Carson's Mission July 2022-July 2024 Côte d'Ivoire Abidjan West Mission

Hey Everyone! I hope you're doing well. I love you all and I hope you're excited to read a little bit of my email! To be honest I don't got a whole lot to say. I'll kinda go day to day and see what comes up. Allons-y! Monday. So after I sent my email on Monday we went out to the area and started teaching. Our appointments fell through so we asked one of our friends if they knew anyone who would be interested in the gospel. Immediately she said yes and helped us find this guy named Yann. He's so awesome. He is really interested and wants to learn more about the church. Infact he said he's been searching himself for a church to join and this was kinda an answer to his prayers! We ended up talking for a while. We were also with one of our new converts who loves the church. Anyway, he brought up baptism and I could tell he was interested. We read a passage in mosiah in the Book of Mormon that helped him understand baptism. He said well that's the desire of...

Howdy! I hope you are doing well! I'm doing great! I'll explain more about that later I need to start with what I missed last week. So last week was really awesome like I said in the last email we had some really awesome spiritual appointments. But also something I was not able to put in my email last week was one night, we got a call from the office elders. They said Hey! It's the office elders! we would like to inform you that tomorrow, you will be doing an exchange with elder Larson, and elder hall. I got so excited! Elder Larson is one of my close friends on the mission and elder hall came out at the same time as me! It was definitely a huge blessing! That next day I worked with Elder Larson and we had such a blast. First we went to the store and bought some monsters and then we had a really good morning. We got to contact lots of people. It was fun to talk to him because he just came back from Senegal which is a lil different than côte d'Ivoire so he was having ...

Hey ! I've gotta go a little quicker than usual this time but next time I'll promise a longer one! This week was really awesome work wise. Lots of success with members, about 13 lessons with members participating which was awesome. We also hit our new friend goal was great! But despite all of that, the highlight was a couple of our appointments. 1: we planned a 30 minute lesson with a friend named Flan. We were planning to talk about baptism but wasn't quite sure whether to invite him to be baptised or not. Well long story short, that lesson turned into an hour and a half. The best part was nobody ever felt like it was taking forever or getting boring/dragging on. The spirit was definitely there and I said some things I've never said before teaching him that day. At the end we talked about the power and authority. We talked about where it came from, and how you need go be baptised by someone who holds this power. He understood so so well and realized that he hadn...
