Hey mom, 

So today I miss Kaitlyn a lot. I miss you guys too but right now it's Kaitlyn. And that's kinda been my day so far. 

Lome this past week was good. I got my sim card and that doesn't change anything regarding phone usage. In fact Elder Obeya has been using it even more since we got back from Lome so it's rare for me to use it. Elder Trenum is great, he let me jump in on comp study since me and my comp don't do it. Interviews went good, I got to talk to him about some concerns regarding the things we talked about. I get to talk with him just once every transfer like that, but I send him a message every week. 

Frere Dodji and Applete are still interested in baptism, but no date. I did set a date for the 18 for 3 of our amis so I am hoping that works out! Mama Jenifer and frere Freeman are progressing really good and they asked about baptism last night so hopefully soon. I will try and get a picture with Frere Wisdom snd Paul hahah. 

I try really hard to help elder Obeya out but he just goes back and redoes everything so I don't know what to do there. I offered to buy him the fabric too but he said to wait until the end of out time together in October. 

Your week sounds super duper fun haha. Very busy too. I do kkow who the Paynes are and tell them thanks for me. And everyone who asks or says something too. I love how you connected the Atonement to the sunrise/set because it's pretty helpful to me to realize it's like a "clean slate" kinda deal. Thanks for rhe pictures and the email, I hope that I get to talk to you soon on the phone. I only get 3 hours because Obeya said so... and I can't argue really sooooo ya. 

I sure love you and I am thankful for everything you have done and that you continue to do for me mom.

Love,

Elder Garcia
