Bonjour mes amis et ma famille!!
Okay so the doxy pills that we have to take for give you really weird dreams so that is my entertainment supplement for my whole mission: I am honestly probably gonna start a dream journal haha: One included my companion and I teaching a dog that had rabies and attacked us so there's a taste of what it does: It also helps with acne so that is a huge bonus: maybe I'll just keep taking it after my mission haha
I honestly don't know where to begin with my letter because there is so much that I can talk about that I don't know what I should or shouldn't share: The work is going pretty well: My trainer says that right now is a slow time because so many peole are gone for school so it is hard to find people or people who will follow through with appointments: We are teaching a Soeur Naomi which is cool because that's my sister's name and she seems to be taking the gospel really well: It is hard to tell if she is actually comprehending what we teach her though:
We are also teaching a buddhist named Frere Richmond and that is really really fun because he has a lot of questions and a lot of contradicting beliefs so it is hard for him to accept the doctrine but we(more Elder Agbahounzo) try our best: I bore my testimony of the BoM to him when he wanted proof of our church but he still seemed unconvinced: He's one tough cookie:
We also hav a lot of inactive members here for some reason so we visit them a lot and a lot of them came to church yesterday! That really puts a smile on my face haha:
I am somewhat drowning in the French: People just talk so crazy fast and kind of mumble so it makes it hard to pick out the words I already know let alone the words I don't know: And all of the natives make fun of my bad french so that makes it hard: Like they don't mean it in a harsh way but it still hurts my confidence a bit: It is a really good thing I have the Spirit to do most of the communicating for me or I would be useless: Gift of Tongues is real: I just need patience, diligence, and the love for these people and I will get it soon...hopefully
Okay fun stories time: There was a herd of cows blocking the whole street this morning(picture below) also a group of dogs starting fighting in the street and alnost ran into me so I almost died in short(sorry no picture): I have seen multiple kids just squat down and go to the bathroom in the road: I have stepped in poop twice already, of what kind I am not sure there are just so many possibilities:The kids here have warmed up to me and started coming up to say hi and give me hugs! So I am basically a celebrity now: Using the power of le blanc hehe especially for conversation starters: "Hey you are white" "Yes I am, do you want to hear about the Gospel of Jesus Christ?" and BOOM I am in and they will be baptised in a week simple as that: Haha just kidding it is not that easy but I wish it was so everyone could have the happiness that this gospel brings!!!!
WEEKLY WISDOM: Don't take things for granted: Even the small things: You gotta enjoy the little things
