Welp, I'm training for a 3rd time on my mission! We got transfer calls this last week, and I am leaving Doumassesse after 3 transfers here. Although I am sad to leave Doumassesse, I am also ready to move on. I will be working in Kpalime and I'm so excited!! It's the sector everyone wants to go to in Togo, because it's a village about 60-70 miles north of Lome, and it has mountains, a ton of fresh fruit, and it gets cool! I'm insanely hyped to go work in Kpalime.

I am training for a third time however, which kinda baffled me, especially since I'll be training for 4 consecutive transfers, about 6 months or so. It'll be a good experience though, and this time it's another African. His name is Elder Mazunza, and I'm not sure what country he comes from, but I'm hoping Cote D'Ivoire. We'll be up in Kpalime with Elder Koaudio, and Elder Rogers. It should be fun.

This last week was just kinda waiting for transfer news, knowing that I would most likely be leaving. We had some baptisms planned, but we pushed those back, to better prepare the candidates. Other than that, this week was kind of terrible, we didn't have much success, but that's alright. We all have our off weeks. 

It's crazy, I'll train my new companion, and then I'll only have 6 weeks left on my mission. If these next two transfers go by as fast as the last two, then I'll be home in no time. But, I still have plenty of time. 

I love the mission. It had its ups and downs for sure, but it's all worth it, and for my good. I love that serving a full time mission was emphasized so much in the last conference, because I can testify that it's true. It really is worth it.

I love you all, and I'll write to you next week, From KPALIME.

Au revoir,

Elder Orchard
