 Bienvenue tout le monde, how's everyone doing?

First off, Woooooh!!! One transfer down!! Now I've got... 15 more... but that's alright because I'm starting to love it here. The people here are so funny; kids, parents, kids, and then the kids. Love them all.

Some highlights of the week;

- the whole week was a spiritual giant, we had so many lessons that brought the spirit really strongly. At least for me. 

- transfers started, and I'm still in Ayamé with my trainer. We're doing great

- 

Lowlights;

- It's sad to see how people here feel wr I need by their own churches, money-wise. As the pastors here live their best lives with cars, nice houses, and cable TV. While everyone else is trying to earn their money through work.

- Speaking of money, that's just what everyone wants. EVERYONE. We've ran into people who are just childish because of it. There's a mama we teach, and she handed us her Book of Mormon back because we joked with her that we didnt bring the candy we promised. When candy is less than 50 cents in American dollars

Ok I want to try something before the spiritual thought. It's a riddle, and how it works, is I'm thinking of a symbol. One that's on the face cards, you know:  these ones. After the riddle, if any of you want, send me an email of which one I'm thinking of, and how you got there. Next week I'll email you back and tell you if your correct or not. Got it? Ok I hope its not too easy;

1. How can anyone not understand

2. Even some babies find this easy

3. All this riddle is, is about land

4. Reread again if it's not easy-peasy

5. That this riddle is nothing about land

6. So look for the rhyme, for that's the key, for the "-and" rhymes make 3

Get it? Good luck, it shouldn't be too hard. But i want to try this out every now and then.

Spiritual thought: ok, this one is going to be simple and short, because that's how things should be sometimes. I've definitely learned that here, as we learn the complexities and deep parts of the gospel, then teach it in thr most simple ways. Most of the learning and growth, comes from their personal motivation. And I want to talk about that. If you want, you can refer to President Nelson's "spiritual momentum" talk. Highly recommend. Our own testimonies come from us, or at least our desires. Then God will give us the opportunities to take. People (like the missionaries) can give a good shove, but just like a bike, they can't keep holding on to you or you'll never learn to ride it. 

I've learned throughout my 18 years that, it is our experience of discomfort that create growth. But even more, it is how we act about it after that really brings results. Love you guys, see you later. Pics to come. Peace
