we are writing a little early again. we have a meeting in a couple of minutes with president and not too long after that we have to head up to calavi to give someone a blessing. so we came in a little early and are writing. this had been a pretty crazy week, but a nice relaxing p day. driving was crazy as usual. we were driving around pretty much every day this last week. thursday driving over it rained the whole trip so the roads were absolutely destroyed. friday driving back we couldn’t leave togo until a little later and got caught in nasty traffic coming into cotonou. we ended up getting back late on friday night and then saturday morning we were up and on the road again for the transfer. but traffic on saturday was really great and we had no problems with delays. all in all, no deaths, no huge holes and chains. a couple of hiccups in our plans but a very exhausting good week. as i think back over the week. it feels like it has been a whole month because it was so crazy.
and to top off the busy week. L'elu got baptized right after church on sunday. he is so awesome. he is super solid. he bore a really simple and great testimony at his baptism about joseph smith and the book of mormon. i just attached a picture or two pictures of him at the baptism. one with all of us then one with me.

hope you all have a great week. i love you all!
