Happy Halloween from the Ivory Ghost!

Hello! Credit goes to my little sister Julia for the Halloween pun in the subject line. Thanksgiving and Halloween are not celebrated here. I will probably have some delicious attieke and fruit for Thanksgiving! Who could ask for anything more??

PLAYING PIANO FOR YAOU

Yaou is good, I haven't really had a hard last couple of weeks. Our branch made a commitment to work with the missionaries more during a recent Sunday school lesson. I was able to play the piano for the hymns this Sunday, which felt good because the branch of Yaou has never had a piano player.  There is a member of the high council who is really nice and likes talking with my companion and I. 

A LIBRARY BURNS DOWN

A member in our ward is involved in this partnership the church has with FamilySearch. He travels to smaller African villages and interviews the elderly to retrieve names, family stories, dates...because there are many people who are born in these villages, and then finish their lives without their names being registered anywhere. All of this information is kept in the memories of the people in the village.

 A great quote that sums up his work, "Every time an elderly person dies (in these villages), it is as if an entire library burns down."

The pictures for this week include a baptism in our district, Elder Secinga and I, and last night's burnt offering. I am out of time. I am doing well, just trying to pray and find out how Heavenly Father wants me to do this work. Love you guys. 

Love, 

Elder Evans
