Hey y'all how are you?  This week was a long week, not work wise…it's been a week and a half since last pday because of Jesus' birthday. So much has happened since last email so we will do days this time.  Tuesday, worked with Elder Tossou who is from Benin and he's here while he's visa waiting for his mission, he is awesome, he speaks the local languages here so a few lessons he was speaking ewe and I didn't understand a word...just like my training again! Me and Tossou had a great day and had some good lessons…I think. Wednesday, today we had district council and it was Elder Tossous birthday! So, we took a cake and ate it all together to celebrate! My district is lit. After DC Ii went back to my old sector Sanguera and worked with Elder Schmidt from Canada for the afternoon. It was nice being back, saw some of my favorite members and my favorite recent converts there! We saw the bishop and I kid you not he screamed when he saw me and ran and gave me a MASSIVE...

Hello everyone. Enjoy the read. This week was good! We had a big exchange on Tuesday and I got to work with Elder Espinoza who is about to go home, so it was fun and a Miracle filled exchange finding so many adults that are interested and have payed the dote (big deal here). It was so fun to be with him and talk about how his past 2 years have been ,and how excited he is to get married. We had district council and it was a lot of fun. The Modélisation was amazing and after wards, because there were 2 missionaries going home, I bought everyone degue to celebrate them finishing. It was a lot of fun to be able to hangout with everyone for a little and talk outside of district council.  Saturdays in the mission we have something called super samedi (super Saturday) where we contact as many of our friends and new members  as possible and invite them all the church and all that.

Yo, GREAT week. please allow me to tell you about it.. Let's break it up in three parts by the title!  WALKS I love Kpalime with my whole heart and that will never change. The walks are getting me...not the distance, but for the first time in over a year I have noticeable elevation change in my walks... my legs aren't used to it anymore. We are also going into hot season and we walk quite a bit each day and each morning and evening I am dretched in sweat, literally dripping off my nose, chin, arms, hands, ears, everywhere. That being said would I change it? No, no I would not, for two reasons 1) this is the Lords work and I'm willing to sweat for it 2) Imma come home so freaking skinny it’s gonna be wild. One walk that happened this  week was one of the most meaningful walks I've taken but so worth it and that goes with the miracles section but the walk was beautiful, going to a small village, crossing a river on a small log using sticks to stable ourselves, walking thr...
