September 24, 2018 Attecoube (Week 2)

Hey Guys,

It was a good week! I’m struggling this week.  It’s just the fact that there is like no obedience in all of the West Africa missions hahaha, so I’ve just kinda fallen into some disobedience like its just a part of the mission.   I don’t even know how to explain it hahahaha  I mean I’m not breaking rules just a little bit of sleeping in because I’m so exhausted. You get to the point in this mission where it doesn’t even matter hahahaha You see everyone even your leaders disobeying stuff that its hard to want to be good hahaha  I know I’m having one of those weeks.  Sorry to be so negative, but it’s just been a really tough week.  It’s hard because I’m the oldest and now I have all American missionaries and none of them really want to be here, so they’re not really obedient.  I’m trying to be a good example, but it’s really hard.  I know it’s the little things, but it’s really hard when your comp doesn’t want to be obedient.  Its just me, my comp, and our ZLs in our district.  The other dude is the DL of a different district.  You guys are spot on!!! Thanks so much guys for pulling me outta the mud. There’s a lot here hahaha and its easy to get stuck!  i think i gotta read the Riccardi letter again hahaha  Yeah its tough.   I’m coming to see the reason I’m here and why the Lord sent me here. It was to test and strengthen me.  I will be better at getting up early this week and I know the Lord will bless me.  I’m just so tired.  I set like three alarms and sleep through them because I’m just so exhausted.  Please pray I can get up on time.  Hahaha  I know the Lord will help me.   I just feel like the Lord gave me this cuz I asked the Lord to help me change some of my weaknesses and then this transfer hit me hahahahaha  I know the Lord is blessing all of you  so I’ll keep up the work man!!! hahaha I’ll try and have a heart to heart with my comp and the other missionaries.  The problem is these guys don’t care hahahah my comp wanted to go home after 4 weeks and then pres just put him with an American before me hahaha like he’s already fed up with the mish and pres won’t let him go home that’s how it is.   Like people get away with stuff all the time and never get sent home hahaha  Welcome to Africa.  He’s here for a reason but he doesn’t like spiritual stuff.   He just think the rules aren’t for him hahaha and that’s why he doesn’t like it hahaha  I got to turn to the Lord!  I’m gonna do my best!! I will just ask the Lord to help me!   I know he will help me in my life after the mission as I give him my all!  I’m going to work super hard and make my comp work too.  I know it will make all the difference.  I’m sick of this crap I’m just gonna do what I’m supposed to I don’t even care about these fools anymore!  One of them have a phone and it’s not cool.  Dude its messed! I’m gonna start busting them cuz its not good!  I just know I have to be obedient and trust in the Lord.   Well sorry if I’ve been a downer, but this has been a really tough week.  I’ll work really hard this next week!  I love you all!  Have a great week!!

Love,
Elder LeBaron
