Well everyone, I'm staying in Odoben!!!!!

So first off, we received transfer news and it turns out that Elder Seninde is finally leaving!!!  he has been in Odoben for 7 months.  He was trained here by his trainer and now he's finally leaving!!!!  Elder Beya is receiving a new missionary, so he will be training.  Luckily it will be a missionary from Provo, so I can help him out haha!!!!  Lokutshu and I are staying here so that's a plus.  I'm gonna try to learn to cook some mean stews from him and hopefully they work out haha!!!

Alright, so as for this week it has been kind of a downer.  We have been going on a lot of exchanges lately and it's just a pain.  I went with Elder Seninde to his area in Brakua, there we just walked around and met with some members.  We also went into some serious bush and it was so sketch!!!!!

We have been trying to work hard in Odoben and find new people, but it has been kind of slow.  We have had luck with baptisms though.  We got Godson baptized just yesterday!!!!  He is by far one of the coolest investigators ever!!!!  we give him something to read and the next day he memorizes the book we just gave him!!!!  Unfortunately, he will be leaving for Swedro for school, so it will be hard to still visit him and teach him.  We have had a lot of fun working with him, and I'm pretty bummed to have him leave.  So, we have a few more people coming up for baptisms, but unfortunately we didn't have the zone leaders here to interview them.  We have been trying to get some in for baptisms, but they have been busy.

We have had a lot of fun this week also working with members around us haha!!!!!

Now for the bad news, I caught a pretty bad stomach bug this last Friday, so I haven't been able to go out as much as I would like.  Starting to feel better, but if anything gets too out of hand, I'll call President.

Other than that, things are just chill as always haha!!!!!  It will be nice getting a new missionary here.  Well, hope to hear from you all soon!!!!!  I also hope that I can see some pics of all of you, I'm starting to forget what you look like haha!!!!!

Love you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!
