Bonjour tout le monde! Comment ça va?


So first I want to apologize for no email last week, hopefully it doesn't become a habit. But who knows how Africa is going to be, probably very busy. Just a little update from last week, I GOT MY FLIGHT PLANS!! I fly out to Togo, the other country in my mission, on the 5th of August. So it's coming up really quickly but I know that the Lord will be with me through the whole thing. We also made crepes so that was super fun and super cool, I didn't know how many they would make though so there were a lot of leftovers. I will include a picture below. Other than that I don't think that there is much else that really went on that week. 

Alright now onto this weeks. The final week at the MTC, kinda really crazy I know! 6 weeks flew by and I can't figure out where the time went. Classes were pretty normal until the last 2 days, we had to say goodbye to our teachers and I said goodbye to the other elders in my district, though I will be meeting up with some of them to fly to Togo on the 5th, and it was days of the spirit. Let me elaborate for ya. The last 2 days of sying goodbyes and everything we each got to bear our testimonies about Jesus Christ in French, then we got to thank all of the elders in our district and bear out testimonies about Le Livre de Mormon, then for our final class we bared our testimony about the past 6 weeks and missionary work. The spirit was so strong you guys and I seriously can't wait to go and share my experiences and hopefully the spirit with the people of Africa. 

Thanks for keeping up with all of these emails in the past 6 weeks! You guys seriously rock!!

A quick spiritual thought for this week:
In the scriptures John 6:66-69 we can read 

66 ¶ From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?

68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.

If you ever find yourself wondering where it is that you should go I invite you to turn to the Lord. I know that He is the Son of the living God and that He is always going to be there for us to turn to Him. I know that He teaches through the Holy Spirit and His prophets in these Latter Days and that He is with every single one of us when we get asked the question "To whom shall we go?" I invite you to turn to God at all times in your life for He is with you.
