Hey Family,

This week was great!!!! Time is flying!!! The language is coming too which helps!! I can’t believe Josh is coming home next week.  I don’t get that homesick anymore which is a blessing like it comes but I get it outta my head a lot easier!! I feel the prayers for sure!!!!  It was great seeing my Mission President. He came by the apartment last week to check on everything. He is awesome!! I don’t see him a lot but he’s a great guy!! So is mama Benine she’s awesome!!  My comp is still lazy.  I will never let my comp compromise my obedience and he knows that! He and I are starting to get along a lot better though! I just serve him 24-7! When he pisses me off I just serve him haha.  He gets way confused!!  It’s super funny.  I get the most strength from serving.  My French has also been getting better.  I’m starting to understand a lot more of what people say!!   We go to the secteur a lot more, but just to sit at girls houses for hours. Its kinda frustrating, but I get to be out and hear French which is what I need most!!  I’ve come to learn that the gift of tongues is so real because my French is improving and I’m not even being trained!   Once the language comes I’ll be unstoppable hahaha!!! That is what gives me hope!! The Lord let’s me see the missionary I’m going to become and it is amazing!  My heath is good surprisingly!! haha  The Lord is preserving me!   He knows exactly what I’m going through and fills the gaps!!   Missions are truly remarkable things!   Regarding how I’m doing with water and food.  Water is ok.  We all eat together its just not a lot of food! Its just the mission life haha I’m in Africa I’m gonna lose weight haha its not a big deal!   I’ve lost like 10 pounds.  We don’t eat at members homes.  The last time we did was like the first week here. The other day a lady made some food for us so that was nice! My comp just doesn’t work with the ward very well, but I’m good.   The Lord gives me the strength I need haha! Because I can’t just ask him to feed me everyday haha!   Its ok.  My comps have taught me how to cook some things!  That is crazy Dad read Alma 19:23 because the other day I was reading Alma 17 18 19 20 all in french while my comp did the interviews for my zone leaders and stuff.  I talk about it in the recording. I had the same experience Dad did reading about placing me in the Trust of the Lord.  It’s how Ammon was able to do what he did, and by you placing me in the TRUST of the Lord I will be blessed.   It’s super sick I just got chills!!!!   It’s amazing!!!!  I love you guys sooo much!! Have an awesome week!!!!
