WHOA!!‏

Félicitations Amanda!! Half scholarship that great!!! I havnt thought a lot about school, I try to avoid that image right now, i kinda have the idea to go there for a semester and then see if I want to transfer of stay.ill pray about it when I get home cause right now we need to be absolutely focused! So this week brought MORE changes, so one nite I was supposed to do a transfer with our district leader, Elder Bukassa, so we left after CEP, all the way to Port-Bouet, we got there about 21h30. We stood around waiting for them to come, they never came, my comp and I dont know the area, he ahd and 'idea' where it was, so we went searching, it was a wierd experience, we ended up near the bouchery with malisians telling us to come and eat their meat because the name Obama was painted on their sign! We never found them and returned to the apartment, to our suprise two new elders and president waiting for us. So Elder Phillips and Elder Gnohohi are in our area, so for the last two months I ahve been gereing two wards, Cocody and Riviera, but now we are in Cocody. And we have done the most work in Riviera, so I get a small goute of what life as a missionary in America is like, all we do is porte a porte in rich apartements complexs. Its very different... havnt had much luck yet but we gotta have faith! The thing is though, we meet a lot of.. interesting... people! Much different that the rest of my mission! Hopefully things will work out, they always do! The one thing that really deranges me is when people try to talk to you through the door, they always ask who is there? and we always respond, ITS US! A lot of people just HAVE to see 'us'! It will build character i guess, He wants to see if I will be faithful to the VERY end even when it is difficult!! I will! The truth has really been restored, doing the porte a porte just strenghtens my testimony that really what I ahve is TRUTH , and everyone wants to have it but they are so blinded by their own pride and ignorance that it really disgusts me! Be grateful for what He has given us and try to share it with others! The book of Mormon is  truly another witness of Him, and Joseph Smith was called divinely to brings to pass the work of the last days!!! Anyways love you all so much and remember who you are!!!!

En Avant!!‏

Its wierd to think about that I have recieved my last companion, Elder Balley. He will desend in June, he is a great guy and speaks really fast slurred french,I love it!!! This week has been eventful I could say... New companion, and now the apartment is really clean cause there is only two of us an dwe are both really clean, yeah imagine that mom, me a very clean and tidy guy now!!! Anyways one nite we tucked ourselves to sleep and in the middle of the nite the doorbell rang, it was 2 in the morning, we tried to ignore it but they kept on ringing it, we open the door and its 4 missionaries,one was my old comp! Earlier in the day he told me he was going to stop by and pick up some fish but he never came so when I saw him I was furious! But in this dazed state they told me president sent them to sleep here for the nite. So they slept on the floor, and the next morning I thought i was a dream until I walked out of our room and saw them there. To this day I really dont know why they were there, except that they worked in my area for the day and spent the nite again and it the morning they left. wierd. Being new to Abidjan is different cause now my co,p doesnt know alot about this area, and we have to travel alot to do interviews, trainings, switch offsand all that other stuff. Our friends are doing good, we got a bunch of new invetigators this week, and everyone could have potential, we were tracting and ran into this place that had about 5 americaine cars, chrystler, A really sweet 4 door jeep rubicon, all with americaine licence plates. They guy works for the UN and we taught his daughter,wife. THey are not too far from the new chapel. All is going well here, I forgot to look up my driver licence number... you cant find it there? Its rainign today and we need to go to market of Adjamé, meaning that it will be really muddy! I will do it next week, Well I love you guys and I hope all is well over there, have a great week and remember who you are!!!
Love Elder Lee
