A crazy exchange!

Beaver Dental
Monday we went to the Dentist nice and early. He did a phenomenal job. He did his schooling in Massachusetts. Sweet guy. We did our normal things and then played Spar in the house until 5. Then went to the Owu's for FHE. We ended up playing Jump rope with all the little kids for most of the evening, and then we shared something with the rest of the family.

Tuesday was a little ish. District meeting was good, but once again, when we went to eat at the chopbar I had a small reaction, nothing serious but we still went to the chapel hoping that I would throw up. After I was good, though, we went and got Judith and went to see Comfort and Mary. They were a little busy but it was still good to see them. We went back to the chapel because it was mid week.

Got her with a pole :)
Elder Tauveli was with me for exchange. He's such a sweet kid. He's Tongan but from Arizona, I love the kid. :) We talked all day, unfortunately we got bounced aaaaaalllll day. We enjoyed some sobolo at Millicent's and then went and ate some Fufu. Charity was home so we spent some time with her. We had her teach us the Restoration to see how much she actually knew. It was nice. Then we taught her how to play Spar. She beat us the first 2 games. Talk about beginner's luck. We went and taught Comfort and then went to the Chapel to swap companions back. When we got to the house I did a new intense leg work out, I'ma be hurtin....

Togos!!!! (Brothers!)
Thursday morning we had a one-week celebration for one of our members who died last week, then we helped clean the font. After we went home to do our normal routine. Mami Esi, Charity, and Mary all gave us time. It was way nice. And members actually helped us which was even nicer! WMC started late which pushed PEC back which means we got home way late. I jumped in the shower and the water was brown.....

Once again we got bounced nearly all day. We chilled at the Owu's for a bit since the sun was way hot. Judith went with us to go teach Mary though, and that lesson was great. Mary talks a lot but that's because she really wants to understand. :) Then we went back to the Owu's because they wanted to feed us. I love that family. We went to go wish Ophelia a happy birthday. While we were there, Elder Masendi started the soakings, which led to Elder Williams getting more soaked than Ophelia, and it's not even his birthday! I managed to stay dry because I'm too speedy and field aware. ;) When we got home we ended up killing a stupid big mouse. That thing was massive.

Saturday we cleaned the chapel and then did our normal things, only, the route that we normally travel we did backwards. We went and saw Jessica and Janet first, it's been awhile since we saw either of them. It was nice. We went to our best rice joint and enjoyed there, then went to the chapel because Kojokrom and Nketsiakrom were both having a baptism. Transfer news came! Elder Williams is going to Asebu to be with Elder Harward!!!!!! He's going to be in my last area with my last companion! How crazy is that?!?! I'll be receiving Elder Rugundana from Uganda. My third Ugandan. I'm stoked out of my mind. :)

Sunday was pretty chill. After church we just visited with Missionaries and Members. Since Elder Williams is going we just spent the day going around and saying goodbyes to all of his favorite members. We finished at the Owu's and once again they fed us. This time it was a massive plate of Jolloff rice. SOOOOO nice. :) Apparently that rice we killed earlier had babies.... we found them in the evening, so we put em down so they wouldn't starve and suffer.  But that was my week!
