So this week was AWESOME! Elder Ibanda wants to work and doesn't want to just pass the mission by he wants to do his mission so it's awesome to work with him. We were only able to see the 7 amis on Monday and Saturday and then talk with them a little bit on Sunday :( they just weren't home throughout the week so we had to plan something different. Which is okay, just sad sometimes because they are doing super well and it's nice to talk to people that are progressing like that. It was such a cool experience to be able to talk to them and do that. We talked a little bit about it before leaving the apartment but it wasn't something that was set in stone kinda thing. And then we were able to do it so it was awesome. It's this big group of people that we found just by inviting others to join the lesson. 


This weeks highlight is probably the fact that we met all of the goals that we had made. It has been a minute since I have been able to do that, like the last time was with Elder Mulamingu back in May, and it makes me feel like I am actually doing something. That and the fact that since I have gotten up here to Tabligbo every night I have hit the pillow and been gone haha. It's great!

I guess that I wasn't really there when she was on acutane? I don't necessarily remember her being difficult?? But I also feel like it has been a while since she has been doing that too? Honestly, that kinda stuff passes over my head waaaayyyy too much and I'm not sure why haha. Probaby because I have something else to think about haha. And didn't you already re-do her room twice? Once when the house got painted and the other time when she went to the Boho theme?? What is she doing this time though? Fall break, gotta be fun not gonna lie haha. Projects are what our house thrives in I feel like haha. There is aways something. Even if there are a few months of calm there is always something that will come up haha.

Baseball got hot I guess this year? Crazy to me that the "top" teams like that are getting eliminated like that. But sports change like that all of the time. We will probably see something entierly different, from even the team that takes the series this year, next year. Who are the Guardians again? I know that it was a name that was changed because o the "racism" or something but I forgot which team they were. Lame that they will get taken in the 5th, but I also haven't been able to follow how they have been doing so I'm not really focused on that haha. 

It's really good to hear for me that all of them are going on missions. I knew that out of all of them (Bryce, Alex, and Chayse) Chayse would because I talked a little bit about it with him before I left. He was leaning towards going, but I never knew with Alex or Bryce so it's awesome that they are going too. I know that they are going to absolutely love it. And they are going to do awesome things and touch a lot of lives too. If you could give them my (idk how to say it in english) but like my support or message it'd be great hah. French is so much easier right now. Living in an apartment with 3 French speakers is awesome. I absolutely love it. 

Dave Imlay is great, I feel like he is one in the ward that actually cares about what people are feeling and he wants to help the ward. It'll be interesting to see what Tyler decides to do. I know that I loved it when he was in the young mens, I feel like that is his element in the church. Helping the young men become men haha. Is Tyler going hunting by himself? Or is he going with someone this time??

It sounds like you guys have lots of stuff to do this week that's gonna keep you busy. It's good to be busy. Then you aren't bored, you always have something too do even if you don't really want to do it.

Thanks for your email this week mom. I hope that your week has been good for you personally. I am thankful that I have a mom like you that has helped me realize who I am and has accepted me for who I am too. I loe you lots!
