I know it is so crazy!!!!!! Time is just flying!!!!! That good i’m so glad to hear!! Haha! It was pretty good! Homesickness was up and down this week but i’m trying to stay positive!!! Im so stoked to get out and teach it is going to be so crazy!!!! Im pretty nervous though more nervous than when i left home haha it is so weird i don’t even understand it! Its probably just cuz Satan doesn’t want me getting to the field haha! Hahaa yeah it is! Yeah im noticing it more and more just how well the lord has prepared me perfectly for this mission it is crazy! Haha yeah i try my best! well thanks! I know seriously though Im so happy!! No sadly i don’t even know if we will. Im gonna talk to Elder Hill about it and see if we will. No sadly i wish i did so i could let you guys know but its alright its the lords will not ours! Im thinking we will be sent pretty early because the last batch all left at 3 in the morning because everyone flies to cote d’ivoire and then to their mission so we just get sucked onto the plane with them because its cheaper that way haha so that will be interesting! Im not sure if it will be the same this next time around but ill see! Honestly i cant change whats gonna happen all i can do is prepare for it! Yeah that will be soooooo nice! Yeah i would hate the provo MTC! The Lord knows us so well and what will help us to best serve him! Yeah i will be! This is the time when i need to dig deep cuz Satan is going to send forth his mighty winds and hail to beat me down but the lords way always prevails even if it takes your whole life for it to! Every trial is so individual and honestly the best way to get over it is turn to the lord so thats what ill do!  Yeah i will! Yeah that is soooo coool im so glad you guys got to have that!!! HECKK YEAHHH THATS MY BROTHERRRR!!! hahah hes such a stud! I pray that i can have that same attitude!! HAHAHA ohh man you crack me up! Well the French ones were pretty quiet at frist but now im way tight with them Elder Gueu and Mbowa They teach me french and i teach them english its great! Elder Sivertson-Kuhn is the funniest kid he is such a dork but him and i are close! He reminds me of a mix between tanner and justin its great! Hes native american and grew up on a native american reserve but he dosent look native american at all its funny hes great! Ill try to get a picture of all us together so i can send it to you guys! Lol i just read more and realized you wanted me to explain Elder Joos hahah yeahhh thatt guyyy…. He was 100% serious that kid is sketch but like that is literally like all the missionaries like everything is SOOO cheap and we have a TONE of free time in the mission so it is easy to come by lazy missionaries! This is one of the main reasons im so scared to go but honesly i shouldnt be scared i just need to crush satans head haha! I dont even know what to do like i dont want to be a tatle tail and stuff so like i dont know what to really do about it. I was wanting to ask dad about his thoughts on what to do with situations like that and having a lazy trainer cuz im feeling like it could be the case but i just want to know the best way to motivate him and not get him mad given he is my trainer and i cant really tell him what to do haha. Yes im so glad see i told you not to worry!!!! (Kissy face!) Yeah i figured as much i just wouldnt worry about it! Shes outta our life and thats all that matters (300 million reliefed faces and thumbs up lol) Yeah i bet that was so great!!!! Looks like you guys had a blast!!! Hahaa nahhh youre good! I got time today which is great!!! I just pray i get this same time out in the field! Hahaha sammmeee!!!! Its alright though we will grow in ways that we couldnt before and so will our relationship!!! I love you so much!!! Yeah we have such a great relationship i love it!!! Haha yeah i miss those good ole days haha its alrigh though!!! Hahaha nah its all good!!! I love you too!! Keep being the best mom in the whole wide world!!!!

Avec amour (i dont really know what else to say other than “with love” haha)

This week has been so much better! I listened to what you said about serving and loving and i have seen a change! The lord is so great! Yeah it will be but the lord will give me strenghth!! Yeah its so true like even though were teaching fake people the power of it is so real it is amazing! Yeah dont worry i count them everyday man! We have so much to be greatful for in the states! They pamper us a lot in the mtc i feel like but i know the field is gonna be rough but look at what nephi and his family did! this is a piece of cake compared to them!! Yeah its so true everytime i feel home sick i find a way to serve my companion and the homesickness goes away! I miss you so much too man!!! Yeaah its so true conversion is a life time thing not a one time experience! Yeah its true everything is given little by little with time i will learn and grow and see the path the lord needs me to take! I love you so much too man youre my best friend!!! I will be man!! Thanks for that im gonna go read that right now!!! Love you so much!!!

p.s. im going to try to get back online after i get back from the temple so hopefully you guys will be awake then! it is 9:45 here and were going to the 2:30 session so i should be back around 4:30 to get back on for like an hour until i have to go to dinner at 5:30! Also the pictures i sent are the group of americans that we came on the plane with to ghana from amsterdam! they leave tuesday!!! its so weird tio think im almost past week 3!! time is starting to speed up which is nice!! Then the other pictures are me and my comps thanks giving feast!! Btw HAPPY THANKSGIVING  send my love to everyone back at home!! Tell john and heather i miss them like crazy!!! The other picture is me eating bone! dont worry i only eat the end of the bone its actually a lot softer than you would think the bone here is different than in america im like 90% positive its safe lol!! all the other americans have been eating it wil no problem so i think im fine! idk if ill do it when im out in the field though haha! Then the last picture is with me and Elder Bell. He lives up in daybreak so he is like 5-10 min from the house which is crazy!! he went to Copper Hills! Also the adapters that i brought dont work here they are african ones that have three prongs so idk what to do ill probably have to just buy some when i get to the field. Maybe they are different in cote d’ivoire so who knows do some research for me! also how much money did i come on the plane with because i only have 335 but i thought i had 375 so try to figure it out cuz i think my comp might have taken money but idk and i didnt want to accuse him of something that isnt true so yeah just figure that out and let me know! love you so much man!!!!!!!

Je t’aime mon pére!!
