Last Sunday was the busiest we have had, except the one Sunday we tagged along with Elder & Sister Wadsworth before they went home. It was "Missionary Sunday", and the missionaries took care of many of the member's regular responsibilities. This is what we did: Set up a table near the front door to hold brochures and Books of Mormon, greeted people as they arrived, Blessed and Passed the Sacrament, Gave the Talks (Kurt), Bore Testimony (Linda), Missionary Choir Number (Linda directed - ha ha). Kurt taught the High Priests' Group, one Elder taught Elders' Quorum, Elder Ma'u taught the Young Men, and Linda taught the Relief Society. Then afterwards we had 5 baptisms. Sister Eki is a lovely woman. She is a trainer of stewardesses for Arik Air and her husband works for the government in Abuja, which is quite a commute. However, he probably flies for free. We hope to also teach him the lessons.
It was a pretty fun Sunday for us. The Elders were busy teaching first discussions to new investigators for a long time after church.
These are four of the five people who got baptized on our busy Sunday. Sister Eki, left & her daughters & cousin are with Elder Ma'u, who helped to teach them.

Brother & Sister Ekpagah & their son are with Sister Eki's group. Their children go to the same school, and Sister Ekpagah is the member who first invited her to church. Brother Ekpagah is on the High Council in our Stake.
Elder Agwu and Elder Darku (our AP's) taught the lessons to Kingsley, who is one of the guards for the church compounds. He is a very nice young man,
