SICK IN BENIN

So here is the letter my mom has been dreading for since I opened my call... I was sick this week! haha Yeah quite the adventure, a couple of days ago I had a temperature of 101, and staying up all nite doing what is lovely referred to the double dragon. Thats all im going to say. So they think I might have Malaria or something small like that. Not much to eat and sleep the last couple of days but, hey what do I expect? Im in Africa! It also couple be some sort of parasite or something dunno. Its all good! It just makes everything kinda blurry at times.. and at nite it is really cold, wow, it cold at nite! Im doing a little better still have a temperature and stuff but it will be fine mom!

For this week, I meet a person called Will. An amazing kid, we started to teach him this week and at our first rendez-vous he took notes like he was a school and just posing these questions that simply put were amazing! I really like him, you know those kinda of people you meet for the first time but you feel like you have known them your whole life, yep I meet one of them in Africa! And in French! I dont know, he is another Taylor, Ken, Bryce kind of a guy. Just really awesome and pretty dang serious too! I feel really good about him! Danic is progessing really well and doing very good. Serge is doing alright, i worry about him lot. Man you really grow attached to people on a mission, especially those you teach. Like Hortance and Eric and Hypolite, just cant explain it, just you love them i guess, simply put and you just want them to feel the thing you feel, have the blessing of the gospel in their lives. We let go on of our long time investigaitrs th at wasnt really progressing, wow its difficult. really difficult.

So here is africa in a nut shell so i was luch and we were sitting on the side of the road drinking a malta for lunch and there are thousnads of motos driving by and one moto, jsut one had a monkey sitting the handle bars of a moto! It was really cool, i wish i could of taken a picture with him, i tried to flag him down but to no advail. well i no its short but so is life, any ways ttyl and remember who you are! love ya
