English Class

Bonjour!

This past week hasn't been anything too crazy, but it was still a fun and challenging week.

A big event this week was Zone Conference, which was on Wednesday. It was a really good zone conference, and I can tell that the messages given to us are always inspired. The assistants gave a training on how to better contact and keep in contact with those we are teaching. We also, of course, had a great lunch of atcheké, and Ivorian dish, and a classic hamburger. Also, I got sung to, and got to pick out a present, which i picked a tie. I'll attach a photo down below, it's probably the coolest tie have.

Also this week, we taught an English class. Unfortunately, we didn't have that many people attend. However, we are trying to find ways to get more people involved. It was a good class though, and we went over just some basic stuff, like introductions, giving your phone number, address, and stuff like that. We also got some cool photos afterwards.

This next transfer, we will be getting upwards of 20 new missionaries, just here in Togo. That means that every area that was closed will be open, and some areas will be opened for the first time. I talked to the zone leaders about how here in Doumassesse, our sector is huge, and we don't have the means to take care of this whole sector ourselves. Therefore, we need another companionship here. They seemed super cool with that, and I think it'll happen. 

Other than that, not much else is going on. We have stake conference next weekend, and then general conference the weekend after that, and I'm looking forward to both. Having an American companion, I may get to watch general conference in English for the first time in my mission, but we'll see. 

I hope you are all doing well, and don't be afraid to reach out!

au revoir,
