Well first of all those cookies are freaking cool! I saw those and I was like DANNNNGGG kinda thing haha. This week has been alright I basically got proposed to and had to turn this lady down because she thought I was close to her age (she's 33). I did an exchange with our district leader who I went and visited in doumassesse with Elder Trenum in my training, his name is Elder Lunda. He's pretty cool and he's very keen at getting people to ask questions. I'm doing good personally, not very much to report there haha. Though we did get a call Friday telling me to call president Friday night so we thought I was training again buuuut in actuality I am going to be a district leader and be working with a "hard" companion. President Proudfoot said that he has been harder because he just doesn't want to work and stuff so I get to try to help him do that. I also have to figure out to inspire the sisters in my district to go and find people to teach, I don't know how I'm going to do that so we'll see. I want to talk to Kaitlyn and another Elder that I know to see if they have any suggestions. Elder Meline is staying in anfame though, but solely Anfame not Adakpame too because there's enough missionaries to open up that sector now. He's going to be working with Elder Obeya so that's kinda cool. His grandpa of the mission haha. These past 3 months have gone by reallll quick for me. It's really sad to be leaving again, especially because my relationships have grown since I've been here. It kinda sucked to say goodbye to Adakpame but it's what it is sometimes. That's the mission. Also j give you kudos for sitting through ward council as often as you do. Elder Meline and I were basically forced to so that we could update the members of Anfame because nobody showed up to our scheduled meeting on Thursday evening, and it was sooooo boring. And all of the stuff they talked about you know isn't going to get done because the people just sit and argue all the time. But maybe we'll see. I just know that I lost 2 hours of my life that I won't get back haha. 

Sounds like you guys have had a pretty crazy week before you flew out. But those flights not crazy early in the morning must have been lovely to find.

The taxes made sense haha. After reading the message I was just like "okay I'll shoot him an email" and then the explanation made more sense in the whole hahah. 

I hope that Hawai'i is great this time around again and a nice break. I will try to call when we talked about this.mroning for me and yesterday night for you. I love you mom!
