GUYS, I LEAVE IN 8 DAYS!! IN 8 DAYS I WILL BE IN BENIN!! I am so excited...my French is not good but, I'll get that there. This week was a good week! Not much happened just classes and eating. Pretty much it! Except for Saturday and Sunday! Conference was those days! It was pretty weird watching the morning session live...at 4 pm, we would watch conference eat, meet with our district then go to the afternoon session at 8 pm. It was  tripping for sure! But, the talks were all so good. I noticed a lot were on the love of God and our jobs here on earth, great great stuff. Sunday afternoon session I decided to move a comfy chair next to the MTC president and sit by him, fully believing he was gonna have me move, but when he came he was so happy to see me by him and sat down and asked how I was enjoying conference annnndddd HE GAVE ME M&MS. It's been a month since I've had chocolate and man it tasted so good, it was like gold. We were talking about all the church callings he

So, this week was great! We started French and found out we get out a week early! I have 2 more weeks, then I'm in Benin! 14 days! I'm so excited to go serve the people of my mission! We are leaving a week early because some of the mission presidents in Africa have a big conference the next week, so anyone who was suppose to leave that week is leaving earlier so their president is there to greet the new missionaries.   So, here's the weekly Lelekumo section: There's a new elder here from Korea (Elder Yoo) and Lelekumo is so curious about him and he asked him if he know a couple different Chinese actors and Elder Yoo goes “No, they are from China, I'm from Korea" and Lelekumo goes "ohhh OK" then goes quiet for a few minutes while we all talk. He then goes "do you know karate?" And Elder Yoo goes "no...again from China...I think" and Lelekumo goes "Kung fu??" And Yoo goes "thatsJapan I think" and Lelekumo goes “Ha

So, the pdays here in the MTC are completely random, it's only been 5 days so not much to write about but enjoy the read, there's some good stories 😀 So, first off we taught some lessons this week and they went good. Yesterday we taught and while me and Ike Ake didn't get to go, Lelekumo and McClure had a good time haha. She expressed concern about her parents dying and was wondering about  Resurrection and Lelekumo got nervous and said “Well, the scriptures say that God our Eternal Father died on the cross for our sins" (which is wrong, it was Jesus Christ the son of God who did that) and the "investigator" goes "...oh where does it say that?" And he went "I'll show you another time just trust me on this" then a little later in the lesson she expresses that she's missing her parents and he goes "well life isn't always sunshine, cupcakes, and rainbows now is it?!" And after he told us all of this he goes "my bra

Hey y'all! 7 days here in the Ghana MTC down, about 27 left! I get an early session so I am only here for 4 1/2 weeks! Pretty dang cool. Since last p day ALOT has happened so this may be long but I'll try to keep it short. Before I start, everyone should be proud, I ironed my shirts this week! Told you I could do it mom! On a totally unrelated note did you know you could melt shirts? Who knew huh! Well, Ike Ake did and warned me before I got all the way through on it, he's a good companion.  So, basically we are hounded to be in class on time but a lot of time the teachers are late, so my district have ALOT of alone time together and those are honestly the best parts of the day! We are all laughing and yelling and just hanging out, it makes me feel like home, but we have had some CRAZY conversations dude. Like the Nigerians have some crazy stories. They told us about jungle justice, which is basically they took jobs as the police because the police won't do anything at

Yo, what is up everyone!! My p day is kinda of weird today, it is only in the morning so yall are asleep and my messenger isn't working (it's thinking I'm a hacker) so sorry if any of you messaged me on there.  Anyways!! This week has been amazing! I got to Ghana after 2 long days of travel on Thursday morning! When we got here we were the first group to arrive so we ended up sitting around a lot and we're pretty bored and very jet lagged, but after everyone else arrived it was such a fun day. I met my companion Elder Ike-Ake from Nigeria and he is such a dawg. In his tribe his name means "strong man" and that is very true for him. He is absolutely jacked! His voice is so deep and he has the coolest accent I've ever heard. We were called as district leaders while we are in the mtc 😎  Everyone is so nice here and it's so fun to see where everyone is from. I met some Elders from French Polynesia, a Sister from Tonga, a lot of Elders from Nigeria and Con
