And, just like normal let me tell ya about my week!  - had an exchange wjth Elder Gray, it was a lot of fun with our morning in the office and some fun times in sector in the evening!  - had a good district council and topped it off with some good igname pilé, ill miss that.  - had another good exchange with Elder Maswaku from Congo. Lots of fun in sector with him - had my last baptism today! Marie Grace, a sister of some members. She's pretty cool! - fixed one last baptismal date for our recent converts older brother!  - packed my bags, anyone who thought I'd be over on weight, you were wrong...maybe…I’ll never tell. I have absolutely loved my mission and have no regret...
