So I know they dont celebrate halloween here in Africa but I found a way to celebrate it! So this wekk, is one word, NUTS! So wednesday, at lunchtime we came back from our appointments and had lunch and then I did my french study from the book of mormon, and it was 1:15 so I decided to take a nap until 2, so I took our phone and set the alarm for 1:50, plugged the phone to charge and set it right next to my head. and fell asleep. I awoke at 2:20 and I was kinda upset cause the phone didnt got off, i figured elder Foucher must of taken it to call an investigator of something. I found him and the other elders who came in at 1:40 while I was sleeping talking in the big living room. I askezd where the phone was and he said he didnt take it, I asked the other elders if they took it, and they said no. SO I seatrched the whole apartment looking for it, but I knew that I put it right next to my head when I went to sleep. I had the elders call it , s when it rang i could find it, someone answered it, and hung up. We called again, and there was nothing. Then I asked elder foucher what he did while I slept, and he said he fell aslepp in the big living room to unitl the other elders came in. We got robbed. Somone had come into our apartment, while we wehere sleeping, found the phone next to my head and took it, on the way out of my bedroom, saw elder fouchers camera and stole that too of his desk. Went in to the big common room where elder foucher was asleep and in the back corner of the room, far away from the door, stole my camera which I had recieved three days ago, and left the apartment without awaking either of us. It is sound incredible, and not running ino the elders coming back. Unbelievable! It sound ridiculous and I have been dreading on telling my mom, the camera that hasnt even left my desk has been stolen. Of all the chances! I am pretty upset for a while, and so was elder foucher. I think I was more upset cause all our phone number were lost, and two investigators who are ridicilously hard to get hold of cause of work, their numbers are lost! huge mess!
And to top it all off I am leaving for Togo tomorrow, leaving all my hard work in resurrecting my cartier i wont be able to see the five investigators baptised, the first ones in over a year in this cariter, especially my african family! It sucks but i guess there is a reason! I guess my cartier now is the best one in the mission, and I get to trainer someone too, Elder Carter from Quebec. So it will be intersting going form the worst to best. Well I dunno, lots of cool crazy stupid stuff happens in life, guess you just have to take it, learn from it and move on until the next bump in the road! Well thanks for everthing,and I hope you all have a good week! remember who you are
love you!
