Bonjour famille et amis!!! These past few weeks have just like blurred together sooo sorry for not writing but I will try my best to cathc yo'al up on life here in Africa. 

So we were able to have interviews with President and Sister Proudfoot and it was kinda a new experience for me because I had never been to the mission office to do them before haha. But they were really good and President always has really good advice and Sister Proudfoot is always a good ear to listen. 

Elder Coulibaly ended up getting the final 2 teeth pulled out of his mouth so we were chilling without having to go to the doctor for the rest of the transfer. He swelled up a little bit and started wearing a mask in sector so there were a lot of weird looks that were being thrown our way but we were still able to get a lot of work done. 

I hope that your guys' Easter was great too!!! I know that I am basiccally a month late but in my opinion we always have a reason to celebrate the life of the Savior. Without Him we would be nowhere and we wouldn't be able to know and exerience real joy in this life. 

Thank you all for the birthday wishes too!! If I wasn't able to respond to you know that I am thankful. It is always really weird to celebrate birthdays on the mission but it's always worth it too because you get to go and work and then most of the time the members give you food haha. 

We got transfer news and had transfers last week and Elder Coulibaly left and went to Togo!! I am lowkey kinda jealous because I wanted to spend my last transfer in Togo, but I got a new companion who's from Ghana!! His name is Elder Okyere (oh-tree) and he's a literal party. 

This past week I have seen so many miracles with Elder Okyere and I am loving the mission so much. We have been helping people cross the roads and have been running through rain to get to appointments. We were able to find a few families this week and they came to church too!!! It overlal has been a really really good week and I'm excited for this last transfer and all the work we are going to be able to accomplish. 

Sorry yall for not really having written these past few weeks but hopefully there are some pics that will help summarize them :) 

Love you all, 

Elder Garcia
