This week was a little crazy. its all seemed to be mixed up together.
here's a quick overview of what my week was like. We started off last
monday by coming back from Togo and so we were super busy. tuesday we spent a
normal day in the sectuer [area] with our amis [investigators]. and then
wednesday we had to drop some more missionaries off at the border to finish the
transfer and had coordination meeting at night. then on thursday we had another
normal day in the sectuer but that night i wasn't feeling well and we went home
and went almost right to bed. Then friday, saturday, sunday i spent in
bed. sick with malaria. yep you heard right BUT don't freak out!
I'm just finishing up the medicine and i was up and about today.
first time though, long couple of days.... haha. so that was kind
of the week. i missed a lot of it but it was a good week of working in
the secteur. Actually elder Diallo has malaria too so we were buddies at
home all week which helped the others to be able to be in the sectuer during
the week while we slept at home. Our secteur is on the upswing now.
Anyways as for benin we have 4 zones in benin. but
they are a little smaller so its just about the same amount of missionaries.
in benin also there are about 12 branches and we are adding two more in a
couple of weeks. porto novo and cocotomey where we are at. actually the
amount of missionaries is about 110 right now give or take a couple here and
there. but its going to go down a little because we are losing a couple
big groups of missionaries in the next couple of months and we are not getting
a super big lot but it will go back up again. usually it stays about the
same though. the latest news on the stake elder ritchie said that he
talked with the district president and he said that hopefully around the
beginning of next year. they have found a place for a building and they
are going to start building after they do something or another and I'm not sure
about all that. most is just rumors going around. but its not really
that far off.
its the 17 month mark today. this month is almost
over and next month is going to go by so quickly because we have a lot of
things to do and then president weed is leaving. wow. its coming so
quickly.
well i think that's all for this week. thanks for
your letters!
i love you all!
