Hope all had a great week and ate tons of food!
I had another great week, and I will be sharing a few experiences that happened. First, pertaining to the new form of communication between missionaries and families. This is pretty exciting news and will be well accepted of course! I bet it was super nice for all of the missionaries in every other country to experience this. But for us in a REAL mission, we don't have the convenience of this. It is a little bit more of a challenge here. President Clawson along with The Area Presidency are trying to work on a compromise for us missionaries. It is really expensive to call every week, and the internet cafes can't handle Skype, so I believe they will figure something out...hopefully soon!
This week I went on an exchange with my Zone Leader. Just like last time Elder Pasikala went and I stayed. Elder Iyalla came and stayed with me. He is from Nigeria and has been a Zone Leader for a year! He is a really cool guy and I got to learn so much from Him. At the beginning of the exchange He told me that He had never seen more than 4 people on an exchange, His whole mission. I took this as a challenge and we ended up seeing 5 people. He was pretty surprised haha. After the exchange He said some really nice things and of course a few things that might help me out. Over all, it was a great exchange and I am glad I got to learn from Him.
About 2 months ago I began to have some tooth pain. I brushed it off until I was reading my scriptures one day and got the impression I should probably get it checked out. I called the nurse and was soon scheduled to go to FreeTown for a dental appt. It was scheduled for yesterday. So on Sunday me and my ward Mission Leader went to FreeTown. It was one of the worst rides of my life! We used a bus to get down there. First let me tell you a little something about vehicles, buildings, or whatever else you can fit any amount of people into. If the capacity says 60 people, they will pack in about 80-90 people. So we get into the bus and each seat is about 1 foot wide. So we sit down and people start piling in, pretty soon I was squished and sweaty! The seats had about 1/2 inch of cushion and then hard hard metal, it was a bumpy ride! It took 6 hours to get to FreeTown. I ended up seeing the dentist, who showed up an hour late and in sweat pants and a t shirt, and have to go back next week for a filling. It was awesome haha.
This week was a good one, we are working hard on our two candidates for baptism!! We will be having a baptism the last week of the transfer, hopefully it all goes well! Anyways love you guys!
See ya next week!
