You're a Nazi!!?

 Hey guys we're back with week 53 I believe. Last week was a fun week and I'll get into it just after the 

Spiritual thought: Joseph in Egypt

The story of Joseph is my favorite story in the entire old testament. I love the lessons he learned and know that they can be applied to my life. 

Throughout his life, he was always in an uncertain situation. His brothers wanted to kill him, no wait, leave him in the desert. Oh hey, are those guys willing to buy a slave? Then in Egypt he was sold to a decent man where there was probably some certainty. But then Potiphars wife stepped in and got him kicked out. All he had to do to stay certain was to lie down with her. Now that he had chosen to stay faithful to God, he was thrown in prison. Did he murmur? No. Did he pray? I'm sure he did. 

While being able to interpret dreams for a butler is obviously a small thing as we see the butler quickly forgot about Joseph when he leaves prison, Joseph does get brought up when the subject of dreams is talked about. 

Only then did Joseph start to see the blessings from his sufferings and was able to save his family and all of Egypt from 7 years of famine. 

But I want to point out that it was not the suffering and hardship that finally led to his success. It was his resilience and confidence in God. Your sufferings are not for your good later in life. Whats good is how you react to your sufferings. Think winner or think looser, and you'll be one. No matter how long it takes. 

Keep being diligent, but remember that God sanctified a day for rest. Be easy on yourself and don't let your goals make you unhappy. Even if what's desired is for a good cause. Patience in your afflictions is a quality attribute. Keep loving and trusting the lord

Ok now for the weeklies

- I'll explain the title a little bit. On an exchange with an elder from Nigeria, we were chatting a bit to get to know each other. I told him that my grandpa was stationed in Germany when he joined the army for a couple couple of years. He then turns to me shocked and asks "wait, so you're a nazi?!" Haha😅 shhh🤫

- we got to go sightseeing a bit as we were looking for a new place to put elders that are coming in. We're opening a new sector so we scouted an area out. It was so chill, I loved it. 

- That same day, I saw a big fight, we got in the wrong bus and were headed way out of the mission, crossed a deep valley, and spent some quality time with my goat (and soon to be zone leader) Elder Mckee. 

That was basically it, for the week. Nothing much, but I am so sick of this area. Get me outta here please president 🙏. Let me train. Our transfer news is this week and no 🫵 I haven't received information yet so leave it be you maudias. Till next week 👋

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 ...

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...
