Tough Week

Hey Guys!

My companion and I have been suffering a little this week. We both got a sick around the same time with chills, headache, overall weakness, and loss of appetite. We tried to go out and work, but in the end, we were both so miserable that we made the decision to go back home and try to nap it off. After 2 days, we were feeling better, but we still didn't really feel like eating anything for a few days longer. To add to it, this week has been killer hot all day, everyday. So, we've been sweating pretty hard and have to make frequent stops to buy water. 

In good news, our couple C-- and J-- are close to getting married. We are doing as much as we can to help it happen. I'd love to see them married and baptized before I go home! They are two of my favorite amis. We only have a few more forms to find and then we will be solid.

We finally got to see the worldwide missionary training this week. It was great. Nothing really that I haven't already heard, but a good reminder of what we should be doing. We are now working hard to find new amis in a final push for creating the new stake here. 

The work is great! I am glad to be a part of it. I am so proud of all my converts--they mean so much to me. I am grateful for the opportunity to work and help establish the church here in Benin. 

Love you guys! Thanks for everything you are doing to ensure my return to BYU will be smooth. I took a few minutes and planned out the courses I want to take next semester. Log into my account and you can see what I have mapped out. 

Love you guys a ton!
