Hey!!! I'm doing good. I'm really tired all of the time but I'm doing good. Zone Conference was really good we got to spend the night with Elder Proffit and Elder Deafon. Elder Proffit goes home next transfer and that's weird and dad bc he's been there literally my whole.misison for the beginning of Kpalimé to now. So it's odd haha. I'll have to explain ZC to you better when we call bc I don't really know where to begin and to english it is writing feels really hard rn haha. But we didn't have interviews after actually bc President said that he forgot, which is okay. We have them this Daturday bc he's actually coming up to Dassa for Saturday and Sunday so that's going to be really nice and fun. It'll be weird though too because I've never had the President there to assist with us at church or in sector before so it's going to be a really great learning experience for me :) this weekw e weren't able to find lots of people bc of the schedule and bizarreness of it but we talked to lots of people and had 2 people at church. I think we are thinking/aiming to get a date fixed for one this next week and then the other the week after if possible so that will help A TON with my feelings about here haha. What pics did he put on FB? I know he took some when I was eating and also when we did a roleplay with the stl's haha. 

Seminary for Spanish eeh?? Ngl I want to learn so many languages when I get home. I have loved learning French and then the native tongues here and that's going to be my goal for the next few years. To learn a new language like Spanish and Italian or Portuguese. That kinda stuff haha. 

It's good that you're keeping busy though. Even if the colors made it so that you didn't want to do it haha.

That's weird... I knew it was coming too but weird to think about. Do you know when he was thinking?? And its not like I'm going to say anything to my dad, I don't think I'm going to ask him to come to mine. Let alone let him know when I have a girlfriend. I talked to him last week and it was weird. I felt, idk gross, or weird after. I don't know why but I didn't like it, and that was inky through messenger. 

Who's Dallin again?? I keep hearing this name but I don't actually know who he is... haha. And snow is good as is rain, at least for Powell so that's a plus haha. But hopefully you won't get absolutely demolished though. 

It was nice to read another email this week. I have come to realise that there's only a few left and I don't really like that. It makes me really really sad ngl. I don't want to leave Africa and the people but time is going by wayyyyyyy too quickly for me to like anything. I love you lots mom! I will talk to you tomorrow <3
