Hello,

This week was a good one and a crazy one! I met Elder Williams from Morgan's home ward, which was cool. He's a very funny guy and I love him! Some crazy things that happened this week is that I saw a TON of monkeys by our boarding and we taught a witch doctor which was so sketchy because everyone knows I hate that stuff, but she was like playing with some powder the whole time and I thought we were dead for sure but we survived! haha The weather this week has been crazy it's either pouring rain or way hot or both haha! It's hard here because everyone here smokes and drinks like at all hours of the day even at 9 in the morning... so that's a big issue but everyone wants to quit, which is awesome and the people here are sooo loving. I have yet to see another white person while on my mission so that's very different for me, but these Africans are so funny and always joking. My companion loves to clean and play chess which is different for me,  but I'm looking forward to learning so much from him.  Our branch is amazing our President and his family are so strong and last week I would guess there were 40 people there which is pretty big I think,  our area is huge however.  Well that's all I have for this week I'll send pics in another email. Love you guys so much!!
