Amis - Friends in French

I am doing great! 
I can actually understand close to everything now; 
at least the context of everything. 

Here in Metz we use the community free 
internet place.  Its pretty sweet.  
They have 60 free computers with internet 
for people who live in the ville to use and 
all you have to do is sign up for them.  

Some good news for me, I had an exchange 
with one of my zone leaders on Monday, 
an exchange is just when your with another 
missionary for 24 hours, and we had 
such a good time!  We had so much in common 
and it was great to get to know him.  
But what was even better was the success 
we had that day!  So, the missionaries 
here had been teaching this Nigerian women, 
Antonia, before I got here and she 
was actually the first lesson I taught when I got here.  
Oh, she speaks English not French by the way.  
And we had kind of forgotten about her because she lives 
30 minutes away and we are always so busy.  
But her son was baptized in Malaysia 
and she was a reference from him.  So, Elder Cowles 
and I went and instead of teaching a  lesson read 
2 Nephi 31 with her, where Nephi talks about the baptism 
of Christ and afterward, Elder Cowles asked her 
if she wanted to be baptized and she said yes!  
But she is moving back to Nigeria in like a month and she wants 
to be baptized there with her family, and she wants 
her other 4 kids to be baptized too!
Then, after that, we went to our amis, friend in French 
(we don't call investigators investigators, we call them 
friends, its really cool).  He is actually from Nigeria too, 
he is about 25, his name is Benson and he is a way 
cool guy.  So we taught him in English and felt 
the spirit tell us to read the same thing with him.  
After we finished reading the first 13 versus I asked him 
if he would follow Christ's example and be baptized, 
and he said yes!  We set a date with him, the first 
Sunday in August and although it doesn't seem super 
likely that that date will stay, he is working towards it!
Yesterday, our other strong ami, Titi, he is from the 
Congo in Africa, he is the greatest man ever and has 
a wife and 4 children still in Africa and he came to 
France to try and raise money for his family.  
But we asked him to be baptized too and he said he 
would pray about it but because he knows its of Christ, 
he doesn't think it will be no!  
So, overall, a way sweet week.
