I am doing freaking awesome! My week kinda flew by and it's sad because I think that is how this whole transfer is going to be. Elder Kikwati and I are getting along really great. And we were ninjas for about 3 minutes and then it got hot soooo we decided to not have hoodie on anymore haha. My new area is soooo hot compared to Kpalime but that's to be expected because there isn't much rain here. 

The lessons I'm leading are going well. There is definitely improvement in the language and I can see that and I feel that too. Our amis are great in Adakpame and there are some that we are hoping for baptism the 4th of December and then on the 20 we have 2 lined up so far and we are hoping for a 3rd but we don't know her feelings quite yet. 

Yeah... I don't think that you should be doing anything too difficult if something popped your hamstring like that haha. That's not good mom.

As your weather is getting colder mine is 100% getting hotter so that's something. And the fan that I use isn't the most powerful so I am hoping that I don't die of heat every night as I go to bed haha. 

It's sad that he came home. I know that a mission isn't easy but I also know if you can get through the hard it does get better and you realise that almost immediately as it does. I also think that everyone should serve a mission because I am loving mine ahaha. 

And I guess spring cleaning cane a season early this year?? I mean that's great and all but 13 bags mom?!?! What did you get rid of and what do you have in your closet now? I'm pretty sure that has to be ALL of your clothes. 

Where are you guys going that B is getting a passport? Or is it just so that she has one?? And with baseball being over you have just about 3 months until pitchers start again so I think that you can survive haha. I mean I don't have baseball for 2 years sooooo. 

So there isn't much rain and there is still trash everywhere but Lome is a city so it kinda reminds me of NYC a little wih the trash and the smell. Just brick buildings not steel an not as loud snd shaded. I kinda want the shaded but at the same time know that if there was shade I would freeze. I miss the amis of Kpalime but I know that I am needed here so I will do what I can to help the members and the people here. And transfers are the 7th of December and they are every 6 weeks so they come up quicker than you think when you are having a good time. 

Thanks for your update this week and for the phone call. I miss you guys but hey... months do be going by quickly haha. Love ya!

Beaucoup d'amour,
Elder Garcia
