This week was very busy and eventful because I have been transferred to a place called Doumassassi here in Togo and my new companion is Elder Bokolo; he is Congolese and we will be getting to open up the area over there and create a branch there as well! The reason for all of these transfers is Cote d’Ivoire is going through a really bad time right now and it has most definitely gotten worse so they are getting all the missionaries who are not Ivorian out of the country and sending them to either Togo or Benin. Its amazing how the Lord works! Now the work in Togo and Benin will explode and grow so much because of all of this; we are very blessed!

So this week we had went to go and see 2 other sector kings to announce our message with them as well and wow it was really amazing ! The first one( I forgot what he was the king of),when we went there and shared our message, he accepted it and then he got fearful and said that we have to go and talk to the king of Lome first (he is the king of the whole city; its kind of an odd set up here, they still have a president that rules over all of Togo) and so we understood why and we have to respect what the king says because we are on his turf and we are the Lords workers so we don’t want to cause too many problems! So we have panned to go to the big leaders meeting where there will be 45 district kings in one meeting and talk to the king of Lome there!! The second king we saw accepted our message very well and says that he would like to go to church and we have actually fixed to meet to teach them again. Now the presentation for this last week went pretty well, the king and all of his entourage were there and we had about 40 people show up and we had about 55 kids there to so there were quite a few people. But the projector for the film didn’t work so during the meeting we had to go and find a television to play the movie on and it worked well ha, and we started about an hour late because the king himself showed up 45minutes late and that was just a little disturbing to us. But the presentation itself went really well; its fun being in front of lots people now!!! But is went really well and we are planning on doing at least 2 more of them or more, this place is ready for the gospel of Jesus Christ and we are going to bring it to them!
