Surprise!
Early bird gets the worm! we have a jam packed week and we are
heading out to togo in just a couple of minutes and we were in the bureau
[office] so we decided to take a couple minutes to write for the week. i
don't have that much time so this letter will probably be a short one... but it
is one, so be happy!
because of a transfer we have this week as well as a leadership council in togo we are going to have to make two trips to togo. we are leaving for the first one in just a couple of minutes. we are getting back on wednesday and then again on thursday we are leaving for togo with some missionaries and getting back friday then on saturday we are spending the whole day doing to transfers here in benin. i don't really know how benjamin did transfers but here because public transportation is so limited and flaky and because the mission is not that big, we don't do a meet up and swap kind of deal but it is our lovely job as well as the couple of the bureau elders [office elders] to get the thing done. we had a pretty intense planning session yesterday to get the week all straightened out and it looks like we are going to have three rendezvous this week.... but there is some good news. i found some music on this computer from other elders and i burned us two discs to take us through the week! so all is well.
as far
as this week past went, we had our leadership council for benin on tuesday.
the last one for president here. i can’t believe he is leaving so
soon! i'm excited and scared all at the same time. it is going to
be a wild ride but i think we are ready. or more like ready or not here
he comes. anyways. we had some good rendezvous [teaching
appointments] despite the errands we had to run this week. L'elu is going
to get baptized this coming sunday. he is awesome. we have also had
rain almost every day of this week. remember i think it was two weeks ago
when i said that the rain here in benin was more than last year but not really
crazy? well i take that back. it’s getting kind of crazy. and
as far as the word on the block goes, it’s only going to get worse until mid
july. they said its like that. they say that the first two weeks of
july it rains everyday and then around the 15th boom it’s done and doesn't come
back. kinda weird. we’ll see how
it goes.
well that's all i've got for this week. hope y'all have a great one! camping, swimming, summering and all that goodness. soak it up!
love you all!
