MOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMYYYYYY!!!!!! I miss you like crazy!!!! This week has been great I have learned a lot! Especially about patience! This has by far been the hardest week of my life but the lord has been strengthening me! Each day is a new one and that’s whats great! I just pray i can get over my homesickness. I was doing so great at the beginning and just talked to everyone even the french speakers but now Im starting to really struggle! So prayers prayers! The people here are way cool. It is so different then america though! I don’t really know what to say about the week because it is all a blurr! i hope my recording makes sense! I think the bottom one is for ben! Sounds like you guys have been doing good which makes me feel better! I wish i could’ve heard from Bednar! sounds like it was a good talk! French is probably what stresses me out most aside from my companion but we are getting along better and the lord is already strengthening me and changing me it is truly amazing how it all works! What happened on the plane on the way here id say would have to be my miracle for the week that was one of the most spiritual experiences I’ve had in my life! I feel like the lord had me experience that so that i could draw strength that i can become that good at teaching in french. The food here isn’t too bad its just rice and oatmeal everyday so its been difficult for me to adjust but my stomach is finally starting to work so thats good haha! We got to go to the temple this morning it was so amazing!!!!! I miss being able to go as much as i was going! Its okay tho ill be good! k I’m trying to get the recordings and pictures up i might have to put them in another email! Well i love you guys so much!!!! Ill continue to keep you in my prayers!

Hey mom and dad! Man it feels good to be off the plane! Had an amazing experience on my last flight! This man that I sat by was born and raised in Ghana but is living in Canada now. We got to talking and then we got talking about my mission and then I asked him if he had heard of LDS Missionaries and he said that 30 years ago they came to his house and he was learning all the lessons but then he had to move away and lost contact with them. He then told me about how he was headed to Ghana to help his boy get on a soccer team here. his son is like some crazy soccer player that has had offers to play for the Netherlands and stuff but anyways I then asked him if he had been given a bofm and he said he had the king james bible but not the bofm. I then pulled out the one i had and he basically took it from me. It was so awesome. i then started teaching him the restoration and he suddenly was familiar with it and i told him that was the spirit bringing it to his remeberance and then he told me about his life and how he grew up with no parents really and that he had to rely on the lord for strength and how he prayed to get his wife and they have now been married for 25 years. It was so amazing to hear him talk about this and the spirit of faith that this guy had it was amazing! This was no question a gift from the lord. I’m so blessed to be able to experience this and so all that happened and then we both fell asleep. I then woke up all a sudden and just felt sick to my stomach and luckly one of the elders in front of me had tums which helped me, but then homesickness hit me so hard and i felt really down and so i just sat there and prayed to heavenly father that he would take away the pain and as i sat there all of a sudden the african man next to me, about in his 20s early 30s, says brother i feel i need to bless your stomach can I pray for you. I said sure and he puts his hand on my stomach and then starts praying and just asked the lord to bless me to feel better and that i was one of his servants hear serving him and that the lord needed to heal me and just all this stuff it was so crazy weird but at the same time the guy like knew how to pray like he ended it in Jesus Christs name and started with heavenly father but i could tell he was of another faith but it was so amazing. I still felt kinda crapy but then the pain left and i felt better and i ran into him later in the airport it was cool. well i got to go now but i love you guys so much keep being awesome!!!!!!LOve ya!
