From: Christian.garcia@missionary.org Date: Monday, January 9, 2023 **Reply to Mom's Email** 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 t...

From: Mom To: Christian.garcia@missionary.org Date: Sunday, January 8, 2023 Subject: Still winter Hey! Happy Sunday. How are you? How has your week been? How was Zone Conference and interviews? I was able to steal a couple of photos off the Facebook that President Proudfoot posted. I always love extras like that. :) This week has been good. I feel like when we start back to school not on a Monday the week always feels ‘off’ but we made it and I am glad it is just one more week down. I think Brooklyn was good headed back. She likes the social part for sure and she was also liking forward to knowing that she is just about done with Spanish. It’s been the marker ha! She is dropping that for seminary next semester and she can hardly wait. I had a couple of nail appointment and some cookies that needed to be done. Kenna Scadden is getting married and needed ‘will you be my bridesmaid/maid of honor’ cookies. Her colors are so bad that while I was mixing them I just lost inter...

I was so looking forward to today and being able to talk with Elder Garcia! After missing last week being so under the weather it feels like it has been forever since I have seen his face. I loved getting to catch up, introduce Fendi to him, and listen to him talk mission. Some highlights this week: - He has Zone Conference and Interviews this week. He is in the Northern most part of his mission which puts him about 4 hours away so since he will be in for Conference, they will do interviews as well. I love when he gets to do interviews because he always comes out edified and built up and excited again. - This new area, Dassa, is so hard! He loves it so much though. He just laughs as he talks about being rejected or told off by someone they approach to talk to.  - They are currently working with 6 new ami's, had 2 of those ami's at church this week, and they had a baptism this weekend too! - The baptism was for a lady named Audrey. She has had a rough start to life with a rape t...
