hey there buddies

im so sorry again i have no time today the internet has a really hard time connecting and we came back late from shopping at the french walmart called carrefour which is actually way better than walmart

and i cant type fast still haahah

ok so heres a few things im sorry for not describing much last week*

im sometimes terrified for my life. these people are so insane but also so chill. no idea hoz to describe it haha. i think i got asked on a date to my own Church concert this week and also this guy tried to kiss me (thats kind of normal here) he was also drunk.

but they are also so so kind. if you say absolutely anything about how you need this or need that or if you start itching one of your thousand bug bites, they run around in a frantic Frenzy trying to find you a cure. doors are alwats open (if they have doors) and there is always music youre right.

honestly the last couple of weeks have been the very most difficult thing ever and i have felt really lonely a lot. i miss you guys a ton. i didnt think at first that s xowi liked me very much but that is ok now because i humbled myself and found ways to relate despite our cultural and language différences. shes really not an assertive person and so thats good for me because i have to take a lot of initiative. but wow i love her. she makes me laugh a lot and always makes sure that i am ok. shes really an angel. Learning slowly to love everyone and everything. its not too hard hahaha i just have to laugh at the things i dont understand and go with the flow like this culture.

theres this family here that we are teaching comprising of two girls a boy and their dad who is bedridden always. they have nothing but the second girl who is 16 came to Church yesterday! i have spent a lot of time crying with her because i just feel the love of christ so hard for her and for her trials. she cannot live a normal life but she is so loving and i just hope so bad she will lwant to be baptised soon. i wish i could tell the story in more detail but she has influenced me so much

we have a dog named franco and i woke up the other morning because she was in labor hahaha. she now has txo living puppies and two dead ones... but it made me think of dad hahaha.

also the food is not good hahahaa yucky yuck! i mean there are some good things. i am not gonna die

i didnt email anyone else haha sorry if anyone asks you can send them this

tell everyone i love them

love all of you mom dad aj ian Isaac teesh bell. honestly my heart is gonna fall out bvecause i love you so much

i promise i laugh a lot and love a lot. every night i can see that ive accomplished another day and i feel the blessings from this cloudy time. i know im in the right place and here is where i will stay :)

it is christ who makes us whole.
