A CRAZY Week!

Bonjour!

How is everyone? I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas! I'll let you know how things are going over here. 

So, this was a very event filled week. So, to start out, we had our Christmas activity for the mission on Tuesday, and it was a blast. We sang, ate, and got some gifts. It was awesome. We also met the new couple missionaries for Togo, and they are literally the nicest people ever. They are named the Jeffcoats, the first time I talked to Sister Jeffcoat, she literally invited us over for Christmas. More on that later.

On Wednesday, my companion had his birthday! And to celebrate, he accidentally spilled some oil on the gas fire, causing a 10 ft tall flame in our kitchen, and he also burned his hand pretty bad. Happy Birthday Elder Malenga, but in all seriousness, his hand is doing alright.

I got to go on exchanges with Elder Anwaucha, my man. We lived together last transfer, and he's awesome. We had a great time together. On Christmas Eve, we had a ward Christmas party, and it was super fun! It was mainly for the kids, but I still felt the  Christmas spirit. I also participated in a game of musical chairs, where I lost first round haha.

Christmas day was pretty awesome! Like I said, the Jeffcoats invited us over, along with the Office Elders. We went there from 11-5, and they were way to nice to us. We talked a little, shared Christmas traditions, and then ate the best meal I've eaten since being here. Chicken, potatoes, green beans, and a whole bunch of other stuff. We also played a dice game, I always knew it as farkle, but there's other names for it too. And then they gave us the nicest chocolate I've ever eaten, brought from England. They are so awesome, and so nice to us.

Well, this week kinda ended bad. I wasn't feeling good yesterday, so I took my temp, and it was 103.5° F, so that's not good. I called the Jeffcoats, and they are coming tomorrow to give me a malaria, and Covid test. So, well see how that goes. 

Well, that's it for me. All in all, a pretty solid week.

Until next time,
