Henderson is up by 7 at the end of the first quarter!

My dearest family and friends, how far? #pidgeon
 
This week was pretty special as a Swahili speaking Kenya man and an American oburoni helped a Twi speaking Ashanti familiy enter the waters of baptism! #mentibrofo Vida and her two daughters were all baptized this Saturday and it was really special. #Dontworrymomimattachingpictures I love this family so much and I'm so happy for them and their decision to be baptized.
 
Also, I hit my six month mark this week which is just crazy to me! Like, that means Camilla only has a year left on her mission! #yesthatishowimmeasuringmythisthing But wow, half a year living in Africa... one year ago I never thought I'd be able to say that. And here I am. #Imadeitma!
 
I hope all of you watched conference yesterday! I sure did and I thought it was so powerful! We only got to watch the Saturday afternoon, Priesthood, and Sunday morning sessions so I'm just glad we got to see the prophet speak and make some pretty cool announcements. #mycompanionwasreallyexcitedaboutthetempleinkenya
 
But also I hope everyone was able to watch President Eyring's address in the General Priesthood Session. That one had particular relevance to me as it was the answer to a recent inquiry I made to the Lord. Watch it carefully and really listen because his advice is incredible. Other honorable mentions were Elder Holland's "Songs Difficult to Sing,"  Elder Bednar's "Be Worthy, Stay Worthy," and Elder Rasband's "Follow the First Prompting." Honestly, conference was so good this year, every talk I thought was incredible. These are just the ones that had personal relevance to me.
 
That's all I've got for you guys this week! I love you all so much and I hope you all take the words of the General Authorities as seriously as you possibly can. These men are truly the Lord's servants.
 
Stay safe all of you! #mycountryissaferthanyours
