So yep another transfer has left me in another country! I dont know how many missionaries can say that! Transferring to another country! So I dunno what to think of this place, it is very beautiful! A lot more trees and green here, and my quartier is supposedly the best in the mission and I can see why, there is this lagoon in our quartier that one road walks along, huge palm trees covering the road, a amazing breeze coming off the lagoon, and everyone just wants to talk with you! I arrived here on a Wednesday afternoonish, and by saturday we taugh like 26 lessons. Its not hard to teach lesson here! It almost too easy, my companion is from Quebec, Cananda and has a wicked wierd accent, but here he trys to put on a french accent so that the rest of us can understand what he is saying! But he speaks perfect english too, and I guess I should mention his name Elder Carter. I really like him, likes to work hard and yet has good sense of humor, It will be fun! So yes I am now in charge of showing him how to run the big show, it will be pretty easy in this quartier, the church here is so much more established than in Benin! The members have been members for longer than two years, they get that it is up to them to spread the gospel, and they actually run the branch! Sunday was kinda wierd and nice cause I didnt have to do anything, no translating, no teaching, no nothing, just sit back and enjoy it! So I dunno what to think about it, I reall like Benin and alot of things here are worst than there, and there are things better here than there, I dunno I guess time will tell! Togo, they speak a different tribal language here, so I can really use any of my fong that I learned, but I am feeling really comfortable in French, I know I still make plenty of mistakes and but they understand! So what else is new, it was really wierd seeing the other elders who came to Africa with me, they all stayed in Togo for five months and then one day they are just there! Wierd! I am really hungary right now, I havnt ate alot the last weekish because I think I had something but yesterday I was so hungary I ate all my food and now I need to go buy some so I dunno what else I want to say except that things are going to be good and I am excited to try out a new country!
Well I love ya and hope you have an amazing week! remember who you are
love
