Hey guys!! 

First week of home MTC is almost in the bag. It’s been a long week but it’s also been a really cool one. I’ve run into a lot of problems this week with companions and stuff. Things where my companion was in a different district, but I’m sure it will all work out. I’m so excited to get started in the Provo MTC. The plan is, I’ll be doing 3 weeks in standard French classes, then finish with 3 weeks in advanced French classes. There’s only one other elder going to be in that class so it will be a Par-tay. It’s been great getting to know my district. 

Spiritual thought: 

Alma 5: 13-14, and if says 

”a mighty change was also wrought in their hearts, and they humbled themselves and put their trust in the true and living God⁠. And behold, they were faithful until the end⁠; therefore they were saved.

14 And now behold, I ask of you, my brethren of the church, have ye spiritually been born of God⁠? Have ye received his image in your countenances? Have ye experienced this mighty change in your hearts?”

we’ve been talking about conversion a couple of times over zoom. Sometimes the conversion of investigators, but a lot of times about the conversion of us. Jesus Christ's disciples each have their own unique conversion story. Matthew trusting Jesus can his life a better one. Simon with his amazing story with the fish. I think it was little James who Jesus said was stronger than his illness. 

So I just want to ask each of you. What is your conversion story? What makes you consistently follow gods commandments. Is it routine? Is it because you love god? I think that each conversion story is unique and is tailored to everyone’s personality. I know that my conversion to the lord is growing as I work, pray, and study every day. My conversion to the lord is more than a one time event, it needs work, and refinement. 

Love you guys, and thanks for all the support. I’ll hopefully have more to say when I’m actually at the MTC. See you next week!

P.S. email me… i don’t really have a lot going on until next Wednesday and would love to hear what’s going with everyone else.

Before I share the story, i want to formally apologize about last weeks email. This is going to make some people mad but, Im sure half of you didn't scroll down far enough.  Go look again, yeah you OK, so, I've found it, the true deep dark woods. It's here in Ayamé and it is looking pretty scary. Me and my comp had some friends pretty far out there to teach a lesson to and when we got there, they weren't home.   so I decided I wanted to take the time we would have been teaching to walk through this forest. A lot of the threes here are not naturally grown. I mean, me and .y comp are far enough out there that we see some wild trees. But most trees you see here are orchards grown by the people here. But on this trip through the deep dark orchards I guess, we found that there is a house at the back of it.  Me and my companion dared not even get close. Neither of us had the guts to check it out. For me, I was afraid of cannibals. Not really, but it was a little sketchy to...

Salut tous le monde!!  It is a good day! P-day is always a good day. This week has been pretty wild. I've been getting some exercise in when I can; like last p-day, me and my district went and played basketball, then Saturday we went to the soccer fields and played some soccer. For some reason we had 4 hours to spare on Tuesday and went to the gym to play some basketball again. It's kind of hard to fit in some time to go everyday, but even just going some of the days is keeping my sanity. The schedule is growing on me, I've been here a week to know that this is going to be the next two years of my life. I'm headed to the temple right now and am going to do some endowments in the Mt. Timp temple for the first time.  Yesterday was SUPPOSED to be the start of our immersion class. Where the classes become only taught in french, but the teacher teaching us didn't know French. So yesterday was almost a complete waste except for when we mixed with another district and spok...

Coucou tout le monde! How was everyone's week? Mine was just splendid. And full of amazing wildlife here in Africa. But not in a good way.  We got a rat in the guitar, ants in the walls, and cockroaches in the drains and a toilet that leaks urine...  To start off, we had a mouse that thought he could live with 4 teenage boys. First off, bad idea. Second off, he thought he could get away. Here's a quick run-down of the week Here's the story.  Story time: one morning as me and my companion were planning for the next week. The other two elders in our apartment found out that a rat had gotten in their guitar and was still in there. So like ratatouille, he had hours own John Denver guiding him around until he ended up in the guitar.  They thought it was hilarious and because it couldn't get out, they brought the guitar over to show us. We're all up and trying to see the rat. I was taking a look when it got enough grip to climb out. Oooooohhh boy did I freak out. It even ...
