Our New Friends From Tanzania

Elder Burton and Elder Murphy asked Jeff and I to help them teach an investigator family from Tanzania. One of the boys, Sokoza, asked Jeff to baptize him. The baptism was yesterday and it was wonderful. Afterwords we were invited to a celebration at the family's place.

Little did we know the incredible experience we were in for. Hermann cranked up the African music, telling us "Jesus like this music". Then we all started dancing and laughing and having a great time. As an appetizer we had soda, corn chips, fudge patties and butterfingers!!! YUM. I like dessert first! They are the happiest, kindest, most humble of people.
