French is Hard

Hello Everyone!

Another week down in Togo. This week went by a lot faster, and we got some great things accomplished!

First of all, we have two people on date for baptism this Saturday! The first one, Djo, we have been teaching for not very long. My first day here we had the second lesson with him, and this past week we challenged him to baptism. The second one, Bernadette, I think has been taught for a while. I just met her last week, and she is already getting baptized on Saturday, so that's super cool!

This past week was another hot one, but I think I'll be saying that a lot. Hopefully I'll get adjusted to the heat after a while, or its gonna be a long two years haha. It also rained in the middle of the night, and it was raining so hard, and it was so loud, that it woke me up. After I went back to bed, and woke up again, I looked outside and the streets were just flooded. Most of the roads here are dirt, so it was just a muddy mess.

We had our first district council this past week, and its safe to say that I had no idea what was going on. Actually, its safe to say that I never know what's going on,  because of French. I'll get the hang of it eventually, but right now I don't know what anyone says. I think I'm improving though. I've started to be able to say more and more things in the lessons, and I think it's getting better.

Well, if you'd believe it, this was actually a pretty uneventful week here in Togo. I'm sure I'll have many more things to write in the weeks to come though.

I hope everyone has a great week, and stay warm Nebraska!
