Umm.... What to write‏

So this week in the beautful country of Benin... Not much. I dunno what I going to write in this email so its probably going to be a lot of random thoughts and little stories.... should be interesting.

   Well transfers are coming up tomorrow, and we have three leaving, for good. And rumor has it that someone is going to be transfered to Togo. So for all I know I could be going to Togo!! I hope not cause this week was a very up and down week. Comp has packed his bags already and is ready to go, andi ts very hard to get him to work sometimes but we have been rewarded with two very fidel investigators, you want to know the word for investigators is in French? amis de l'église, meaning friends of the church, i duno i always think its funny calling our investigators friends! But yeah, their names are Danic and Serge. this is a cool story, so Danic was one day walking down the strret when he saw Paul, a member, he stopped him, and said, why are you so happy, there is something about you that i want, what is it? They guys is amazing!Very humble, energetic men that could have a very bright future, so this week we doubled our total of investigators at church right! IMPROVEMENT!!! Every mission has its difficulties so I this is what I have been called to bear!!
  So a cool story about living and working it Africa, we were tracting down an investigator, some random road, just walking along, minding my own, business when i glance to my left.... a see a bamboon! It was so cool! Just sitting in a cage, its was huge! So later this week we are going to go back and take some pictures, im pretty excited. This is why I love Africa, just never know what is going to happen, keeps things interesting... I have started a book of little stupid ridiculous stuff that happens each day that I know that I i will want to remember but will forget over time, Im pretty excited for this at the end of the mission.
What else... OIh I went on splits with the member missionaries this week, so much fun! I went with Godwin, a member who was baptised about three weeks ago, it was so fun cause i got to control, who we saw, what we did, how long, is way a good time. my french is horrid but i have reached the point i can say i n very broked french about anything and with a lot of hand motions they understand, it was really cool. I like Godwin alot! Very good guy, goes with the missionaries 2,3 times a week all day. I really like the cool feeling being "on your own"! Someday, im excited! It was a good experience cause I can now see how far i have grown in my french and just in self disipline.
Senagalise food, AMAZING!
I miss peanut butter, wal mart, my canoe and fishing, mowing lawns, and Idaho!!
I dunno what else, so I ll be going hope verything is incredible for you all and I love and take care, souviens-toi que tu crois!

love
