Subject: Dynamic Duo becomes the 3 Musketeers?

Bonjour mes chers amis et famille! J'espère que la semaine a passé bien et vous avez les miracles de Dieu dans vos vies. 

This week Elder Meline and I worked our guts out! It was really great and we had a pretty freaking bomb Zone Conference.

~I am going to start doing breakdowns so that these don't turn into books haha ~

• We found an ami who speaks 4 languages and taught a lesson in English

• WE FOUND AN AMI IN ANFAMÉ. His name is Jeff and he seems really really interested and promised to let us come by this week

• We went out to sector with Frère Raymond and visited inactive and found 2 new people to teach

• Zone Conference was really AWESOME and super spiritual as always. President Proudfoot and everyone else who shared something was truly acting in the spirit. I love Zone Conferences. 

• Had 2 AWESOME missionary coordinations with 2 of THEE best wards

• Talked to 2 black supremacists and got told that they wanted to kill all white people (especially the French) minus us and our families *very interesting visit, lmk if yall want the full story*

• Danced to a "Chinese rap" with Fr Raymond and Elder Meline

• Found new amis who actually came to church!! 

• Learned more about this amazing gospel and how to apply it to my daily life

This week I have been focusing on the christ-like attribute and the invitation from the prophet and leaders of the church from last conference to love one another. Saying it makes it seem like it's really simple to do and it doesn't take much effort but that's wrong. I have found that, for me, as I have started to find things to live about people I have also found many things that annoy me and bug me. But, just as Jesus loves each and every single person here upon this earth and in the world to come and in the world before, I have started to fund myself loving the people of Togo more snd more everyday. The difficult times and things about people are how our love really gets tested. This week my invitation is to look past all of the "bad" and "annoying" things of those in your life and to just love them a little more. 

I love each and every one of you very much and I am so thankful for your emails. Keep them coming! I love being able to read about y'alls lives too!!! 

Also I'm getting another kid this week on Wednesday! We got a call this morning and it turns out that President Proudfoot wants me to train 2 people at the same time. So that's going to be interesting haha. I'll send some pics next week for y'all!!

Beaucoup d'amour, 

Elder Garcia
