hey family
how are yall. i'm doing pretty great. the
weather this week has been faking us out by not raining very much even when it
thunders or clouds over, but when it rains it rains, and i haven't even seen
the worst yet. elder hales said that someone told one of the other
missionaries at church that they thought that the weather was being weird like
this because the Chinese built a machine to mess with the weather..... haha
africans..... so crazy i love it.
i don't have tons of time today because we are late
getting here because we were eating at three people's houses this afternoon.
im sooo full. eating at amis or members houses is like fighting
the boss at the end of a video game because they bring out a ridiculously lot
of food, and you insult them if you don't eat it all, so you're like ok bring
it on and eat and eat and eat. (most of the time with hands too :) and
then you finally finish and then they bring out the rest of the food, which is
like doubling what was there, and they are like, you're american, you eat a lot
and are fat, its good! eat. so you're in your video game, you get
to the end and finally just barely beat the boss, but he comes back to life and
you have to beat him again with no life! great analogy i know haha but
its true. i love africans. they
are so weird and crazy and totally different.
thanks for updating me about the garlicks. tell
brandon that i still want a letter. i didn't get a chance to make the
pancakes this week, because i couldn't find baking powder for awhile, but i
made the syrup which was great, with some french toast.
this week saturday we had another baptism! his name
is charles. i think i said a little
about him last week, but i don't have my camera so i'll have to send pics next
week sorry. he is so awesome. i taught the sunday school lesson in
church yesterday on the law of chastity. it turned out to be better than
i expected, and helped me. oh! and the new building that the church
built here is officially open and we are moving there on the 5th of may to the
church. our church will start at 9 am instead of 1:30 too. it will
be awesome!!! I'm super excited. our
amis will be able to come soo much easier and it will help us out a lot.
thanks for all your letters (minus benjamin haha) and your stories.
good luck with the end of school.
love love love. Elder Rybin
