Chicken frying and leaving the nest

Hello!

Here are some pictures from the last couple of weeks. 

The Koffi's wedding lunch

Elder Mensah, draped in the Tahitian flag, to protect himself as he fries chicken in oil for us. He is by far the best cook in our apartment.

WADING THROUGH LAGOON WATER

A neighborhood in our area, "Quartier Petit Paris," is this mile-by-mile concrete maze, with probably hundreds of seperate homes hidden inside. It is situated next to a lagoon, and the lagoon flooded into the neighborhood this week. So, this Wednesday, to make it to our afternoon lesson in Quartier Petit Paris, Elder Kanyesa and I took off our shoes and socks and waded through the neighborhood to Frere Agoh's home! I felt very cool, and scrubbed my feet really hard with soap that night.

IT'S TIME TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE

I loved reading Alma 42 this week, which talks about the Plan of Salvation. Just like an earthly father who tells his children, "It's time to get out of the house," Heavenly Father lovingly and omnisciently sent us to the earth to learn and grow. 

Parents want their children to grow and become like them, maybe even a little better. Most of all, parents want their children to be happy. Sometimes they cry and complain, but everything parents do for them is for their good. 

I know that Heavenly Father loves us, and that the Book of Mormon is the word of God.

Love,

Elder Evans
