May 14, 2018 Port Bouët (Week 3)

Hey Family,

So president said we could come to the office today to face time you guys but like I don’t now how that would work cuz like everyone has school and work! What do you guys think??  I hope it works out because I would really like to see all of you!!!  President invited a bunch of missionaries to come to the office to do it!  He’s so awesome! It was so awesome to talk to you all yesterday!  It made my week!!  Everyone sounds so good!  It made me so happy to talk to everyone.  This week was pretty great! We had a baptism!  It was awesome!  Listen to the recording because I tell you all about her!  The thing that stunk was the rain spoiled a lot of our appointments haha! We got a few from members but we haven’t had time to teach them cuz of the rain but its a lot better now so hopefully we go and teach them this week!  When it rains my comp doesn’t like going out so we just sit in the apartment lol!  He’s been out the same amount of time as Austin, and so he’s just tired and stuff but he’s a good guy! We get along great!  Was it like that for you, dad in the mission?   Like after a year the missionaries just get super tired and sleep a bunch?? Is that normal?  Did you ever get like that?  A mission is like a XC race…after being here a year I’m sure it’s like mile 2!  I haven’t really been homesick, which is a blessing! This morning I felt it a little but it left pretty quick! I feel like its not gonna be a big deal especially once tomorrow comes and we get back to teaching and stuff!  I figured it would be like this, like I think about home but it doesn’t consume me.  It’s nothing like the beginning of the mission! Its honestly way easier now!  I feel like its so weird at first I was like what did i do, but now i like it!  Oh, I hope you like my hair. I shaved it off!  I have pictures below.  🙂  It’s a ton easier and WAY cooler!  Also, I would really love a recording of Tanner playing the piano!!  I can’t believe how good he has gotten!!   So this week we don’t have much planned.   Hopefully we get Sr Syntia and Fr Jean to get baptized, but they aren’t keeping to commitments so pray they do so they can be baptized!  We’ll also probably go to that village to keep teaching family Faye and hopefully get a date set for their baptism and marriage!  They’re like basically our 4 investigators, but we just got some more contacts that were gonna go visit this week so hopefully they’re more promising lol!!  Its honestly a tough secteur because we’re not teaching a lot of people, but its also cuz we’re new so I’m not worried its gonna be great!!   Well, I hope we can Skype. We’re leaving the cyber soon and we’ll go to the mission home.  I love you all so much!  Have an awesome week!!
Love,

Elder LeBaron
