Hey Family,
In case you were wondering I’m actually alive! It’s my comp whose dying, but he’s doing way better!!!!!! Sorry I didn’t connect with you yesterday, but my comp has been really sick. I bet its awesome to be back in America. It looked and sounded like quite the trip man!!!!! I sure hope me not writing yesterday didn’t give you a heart attack! Haha Sleeping on the hard tile floor the past couple of nights in the hospital was the best hahaha!! Yeah it was nuts! I’m just glad my comp is doing better! All my bros wrote me so that was nice!!! The best part of the week was going to the mall yesterday to eat a burger!!!
Its been too long since I had one. I got the biggest one and a giant thing of fries and a coke and ate it all hahah I was pretty impressed with myself hahahahaha! Yeah I miss fast food!! I also got to sit and talk to my first bishop. He’s such as stud! He and I are way close. He came to the hospital to be with us because the assistances didn’t have time and he works for the mission so he was just supposed to come and drop off the 5000 fcfa but then he just was like lets just go to Burger King! He said you’ll like that way better than the food here at the hospital. It was awesome…he’s such a stud!!!! Elder Boyemba is a good guy. He’s just kinda tired of the mission and is ready to go home! I just try my best to motivate him and stuff! Its how it is here! 80 percent do 20 percent of the work and 20 percent do 80 percent of the work hahahahaha

I got to talk with President Binene a lot more this week because we were at the hospital and stuff but I talked with mama Binéné more than president hahaha Good thing my health is rock solid. The Lord is really blessing me. It’s tough we’re not working, but I’m getting a ton of studying done and my testimony is growing. I’ll have my turn soon to work the butt off my future comps!! So we found out this guy that was supposed to send the papers for the wedding never even sent them and just gave them back to Fr Fahe so that was frustrating cuz he was planning to just give out himself last month but ohhh well it works out cuz I just bought them a nice pair of scriptures and a hymn book! I love they’re family hahahahaha! They are no question one of the people I knew before this life just like family Brou and fr Siée . Hopefully next week he can go to the village this week cuz of his work but next Monday he is gonna head to the village do it in a day and most likely the wedding will be soon after!! Please pray that it all works out! He said you have to send the papers like 10 days before you want to have the wedding so it will be in the next few weeks! Its so awesome they’re getting married!!! Thats why I don’t want to leave!! Its in the Lords hands though! I’ve been with them since the beginning of their lessons. I was there the very first lesson they had with the missionaries. It’s been a super great experience! I love seeing the change!! It just strengthens my testimony of the truthfulness of the gospel!! It’s really been a highlight of my mission so far! This place has been crazy but also one of my favorite secteurs so far. But I know if the Lord needs me in the West mission that’s where I will go! Its been great. It has been so freakin hard, but so awesome because I’ve grown a lot. I really feel so close to the Lord and its awesome! I am really feeling I’m going to the West mission. Well we will see soon. I love you all so much. Have a wonderful week. Talk to you next week.
Love,
Elder LeBaron
