Thanks everyone!!!!!

This week has been pretty normal considering it's like the same each week haha!!!  It's also amazing and surprising that so many people are wondering how I'm doing haha!!!!

Well, I hope you are all being safe!!  It's been a normal week here, just going around and biking.  Meeting some pretty crazy people and learning some very deep doctrinal stuff haha!!!!  If there's anything I've learned from these guys, is that it's to always question reality and truly think about your life haha!!!!

So, we have a few people we think are getting ready for baptism, but they need to be taught the rest of the lessons and need to start keeping the commitments that we give them.  It's amazing to see some of our investigators progress as far as reading what we give them, coming to church, and wanting to see us more haha!!!!  Anyways it's just been day in and day ut, same thing haha!!!!

But, I think I'm getting bigger, like built!!!!! haha!!!!  Sometimes it's hard to get my pants on when my thighs are giant and my shirts are getting tighter haha!!!!

To be honest, it's way different here than back home!!!

I came in during  Harmattan season.  This time is when dust from the North has blown in and makes it a cool part of the year.  It blocks some of the sun but people still sweat, but they say it's cold haha!!!




There are literally so many churches here that you could not count all of them in your lifetime!!!!!  People just make their own churches here and it's so weird how some of them preach.  So, some of the buildings here are pretty normal but some are beautiful!!!  Some with columns and stuff like that.








You can also get anything on some of the streets here!!!!  There are phones, food, and literally anything else you can think of!!!!!  It's getting warmer and I'm starting to tan very nicely, or at least I hope so.



And there are these things called Fanice, it's practically like vanilla ice cream in a bag that we tear open and eat.



Since there are no trashcans around here, we just through trash everywhere and it's so weird!!!!!    At least for me haha!!!!!  So I'll say more next week, I'm out of time.

Love you all!!!

Love,
Elder Smith
