This week we finished our preparation for the hard copies of the area maps. They are being printed by a better machine at the West Africa Area Office in Accra this week and then we'll finally be done. It was a huge relief to be able to relax small after we finished those.
We met with Jeffrey again this week. He has been coming to church and loving it. We extended a baptismal date to him, and he is on track to be (hopefully) baptized just before I leave.
Also, I've been fighting the progress of an ingrown toenail for a while now.... they're pretty common here. Well I finally got up the nerve to talk with President Cosgrave and he did some sugery. It hurts like nothing else right now.
We are trying to help Jessica develop a consistent habit of reading the Book of Mormon. We've made it as far as 1 Nephi 11. When we read chapter 8, we all got paper and drew each object as we read about it. She was not excited for that at all but she enjoyed it after we finished. When we went back we read chapter 11 and labeled all of the things we had drawn with their meaning. It was fun and now she'll never forget about Lehi's dream. So far she's doing great at reading on her own and understands the story very well. She laughed when Nephi's brothers ran away from him after seeing him dressed as Laban. It's little things like that that make us happy with her.
Sorry for the short email. Time is playing weird tricks right now. Monday was just yesterday, but it seems like the things we did this week were forever ago.
Love,
Elder Nelson
