Hello family and friends.     This week has been good! A lot of interesting things happened. Like always, let's talk.     Tuesday we had interviews with the president. Nothing too interesting for me just a nice talk. Afterwards we were able to teach a recent convert names vincent. He's a good kid.     Wednesday was another good day. Some of our appointments fell through at the beginning but it all worked out when we went to go see a member who is struggling about school and wanted to learn more about BYU pathway. I have a lot of respect for BYU pathway because of the opportunity it gives to so many people out here whether member or not. It's cheaper than other schools and can get you a degree much faster. She had some questions about that that we were able to answer. In the evening we celebrated my one year on mission by getting some pizza! Was very nice.     Thursday we had district council meeting because of the interviews that were on Tuesday. ...

Good morning, afternoon, evening! This week was honestly a little rough. I got sick and being sick as a missionary sucks so let's just get into it.     Tuesday we had our district council and it was good. It was the last one of the transfer and it was sad to see some of the people leaving but good to start again. Afterwards I started to feel sick. And yeah that took me out haha. I won't share my symptoms to save your stomachs but it wasn't fun.      Wednesday I was still sick but I pushed through and we went out and taught a good amount of people. Was a good day.     Thursday I was still sick again. We did planning for the week and just met a few people afterwards.     Friday I was starting to feel better and we went over to Naomi and we prepared fufu, groundnut soup, and light soup. Was cool to learn the different preparations and learn how to make the foods. And it tasted pretty good if I say so myself.      Saturday was a lo...

Hello Everyone!      This is my last week until I hit one year! It's crazy to think that but I'll talk more about it next week. This week has been pretty good. Not a lot happened so this email won't be too long.     Tuesday we had our district council. Was pretty good. Then we taught a few people after.     Wednesday we went over and talked with Naomi! So a little update in her, things have gotten worse. Everything about the husband that we thought was just in her head, is actually true. The husband is cheating on her and at the same time he says if she doesn't give him child after 3 years then he will leave her. As if he isn't already cheating on her. He is a pretty horrible guy but for some reason Naomi still loves him very much, very loyal. Unlike him. So we are talking about the atonement and how to be bold haha. She is also pretty lonely since the husband goes off all day so we will try or best to help her. Please pray for her.     ...

Why do bad things happen to good people? Do they deserve it? Did they bring it on themselves? Or is that truly the only way we can progress in this life is to go through experiences that will change us to be stronger and better? I'll let you find the answer hehe.     This week has been a good one for teaching lessons. We taught so many this week. Lots of people want to learn here in Zenu so it is a nice change from Madina. So let's see what we got here.     Tuesday we had our district council meeting like always and had to update everyone in our district about our area. Learnt a few things too. Afterwards we taught three different people who all live in different parts of our area so it was a lot of biking haha. But was good nonetheless. Good day.     Wednesday was good. Some of our appointments fell through so we had to make up some time but we were able to and was able to meet with members and investigators. We met with some people who aren't maybe the mo...

Chale howfa??     Hello Everybody!! This week was good nonetheless. So let me talk.      Tuesday we had our first district council meeting of the transfer. Was quite small compared to others I've had. Our zone leaders were gone so there were just six of us. Was pretty good though. Afterwards we taught some people in our area and helped Emmanuela and William prepare for baptism.     Wednesday was a solid day of teaching. We just taught several people and were a mix of members and investigators. We are teaching some really cool people right now so it's cool to teach them.      Thursday we had our exchange with the district leader. He and his companion came to our area and we both contacted and taught in my area. He also interviewed all three of our friends for baptism. They all passed and got baptized yesterday! Was a good day of exchange though, I learnt a lot and it was a good change for the day.     Friday we did our weekly pl...
