Hello There Ladies and Gents

Image
Ladies and gents I have got an email for you today, so get your popcorn and enjoy the read 😁 So, this week started off with a THREE DAY exchange! Which means I'm just getting out of training and I've spent 12 days on exchanges! Both leading sector and in another sector! I love exchanges, i learn so much being with a new comp for a day! This three day exchange was with Elder Morrey cause both our comps are office elders and they had to go do phone audits for 3 days while interviews were going on! Me and Morrey did pretty well I think, we found some good friends to teach, taught some good lessons, fun times! And to end it out! We got degue! (Shout out to Elder Morrey btw) So, after the exchange on Thursday we had interviews with President! And it was awesome, me and President talked for like 45 min about a book he's found recently, some scriptures, what's happening at transfers, and most importantly hunting and fishing, we talked about that during the interview and he wa...

Short week=just as long of an email...have a good read everyone!  So, this week was only 4 days but man did it feel like 4.5! We did alot of contacting and I'm starting to lead them more so that's actually been so fun! And as I always say "lots of contacting=lots of stories!” So, let me tell ya some! First off was a miracle find, me and Elder Tolman had been contacting ALL day and walking back home pretty tired and ready for ramen, shower, and bed, when this guy came walking up to us...so we stopped...then he looked confused, turns out he was trying to get to the door behind us (his house) and we got in his way...but he ended up being super chill! His name is "dieu-donne" (God given) and we gave him a brochure and BAM while walking home he texted us and we set up a rendezvous with him which was Saturday and it went fire, he is such a cool dude! He had amazing questions and he understood my French😎 Next up we got New York Muslim! While on my exchange with Elder S...

Want Some Drugs?

Hey y'all! I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and an amazing New Years, being from the future (like 8 hours ahead) this new year is looking pretty good! Y'all are gonna love it!  So I’m going  to talk about the title of today's email early...cause it's a funny one! Let's just say all the "just say no to drugs!" they taught us in elementary school was useful! We were teaching this guy and he was lowkey so cool and funny, when we walked in the first time there was coffee and whiskey on his table and when we told him the name of our church he put it into youtube and said “I'll research you guys"... so we were pretty sure he wasn't going to contact us, then he did! And, turns out his youtube research brought up these points: we have word of wisdom, law of chastity, AGAINST polygamy, against slavery, annnddd have our own bible. All in all not a bad list, we went over and taught him the BOM isn't the Bible and how the Bible and the BOM wor...

Holy crap does not feel like Christmas! Probably cause it’s about 90 degrees with 78 % humity as I'm writing this… it's super weird to think it's Christmas already! I miss the snow and the cold and not sweating 24/7, y'all that are cold rn...your lucky!  Tuesday we had our zone conference and it was lit! We talked about spiritual gifts that God has given us and how we can use it to better fulfill our mission objective! We also talked about our mission wide vision and goals...let me tell ya, some BIG things are gonna happen to the Benin Cotonou mission these next couple years 😎 it’s gonna be legit! Then after for lunch they made us all T-bone steaks from Salt Lake City! It was the first real beef I've had (the beef here isn't normal) and it was delicious! Got talking with president Lundeen, turns out he's an avid hunter! So of course we talked about it for like an hour about deer hunting and elk and just about the outdoors! I twas so nice to be talking with ...

Hello everyone, how's y'all Christmas season going? Hope you all are getting excited and going to tbe giving machines the church is putting up!! (Ya know…there's stuff in those to Africa...maybe I'll see the goat you give a family 😁) This week was a fun one for sure! Did more contacting and taught some lessons...the usual i guess...but it's still fun!  This week on types of people we contacted:  -a dude from Togo...speaks only English and Eve, his wife speaks only French and Eve… don't really know how that happened...buttt he started yelling about how everything in Benin is voodoo, i though it was hilarious, he is legitimately scared of Benin. -a lady that said she was to busy to come to church and be taught...then she showed up to church yesterday with her husband! Pretty sick!! -a girl from Florida! Both her parents are from Togo, but they went to Florida for her dad’s job or somethin, i don’t remeber. She grew up Catholic but she came back to Togo to "s...

MOOOMMM HE'S TOUCHING ME!!!

Hey y'all welcome back to another email of my adventures here in Kelegougen Togo!  This last week was fun! But also a little rough! We had transfers and because Tolman is an office elder  we got to go "help" and by help I mean go talk with everyone and load some bags, it was lit! My group is no longer the youngest group, the new missionaries seem so chill and funny! They seemed so confused and nervous, ahhh feels like 7 weeks ago that was me, so long ago but also felt like yesterday! This is my last transfer with Elder Tolman...last six weeks of training, I got a lot to figure out before then.  So, what made this week a little rough was almost every single one of our lessons feel through and so we were doing a but load of contacting. Buttt that makes for some fun stories! We found alot of interesting people... let me tell ya about them: a momma who does voodoo and is Catholic. She said "gotta do both so I'm just extra safe!" I wanted to show her Matthew 6: 2...
