Hey mom,

So this week was meeh. It finally hit me that it's 2 years and it was kinda rough for a couple days. Lasagna was great, African great not really American great haha. I don't think I will be making that when I get home. 

Elder Obeya is still the same. Very controlling and he told me that because I talked to my President that I sinned gravely and have a lot of repenting to do. I have rried my best to serve him but anytime I do something he just gets annoyed with me. 

You are seriously one broken thing after another mom haha. Maybe by the time I get home you'll be better and we can go weightlifting. Sound like a deal? 

I guess it's a good thing that I left when I did then haha. I don't really have to deal with all of the politics and whatnot down here. Tough I did gets cussed out and told to leave by a drunk guy yesterday so that was funny. 

It's so exciting Kaitlyn can go to Brazil now!!! You can send one more kid I know you can. Heavenly Father has prepared yoy and us for this so that we may be able to serve Him for the next two years or year(ish) with Kaitlyn. 

With the water... I didn't see how to fix it but then again we aren't allowed to because of rules. I couldn't fix it anyways if I knew how because the supply store is in Lome 2 1/2 hours away, or 1 hour 45 min if you're our driver, and we don't have access to tools like that.  

I have an email getting typed up right now to send to Alaina and will send it today when it's done. 

I am meeting with President Proudfoot on Werhis week, we are going to stay with Elder Trenum and his comp tomorrow night. I am hoping to talk about companion unity or something like that because I seriously feel like I can't trust the guy and I get a bad feeling when I start sharing things with him that are personal. Idk it's weird. 

I love yoh mom and I miss you, hopefully I can call you later today. 

Love, 

Elder Garcia
