Week of 9 October 2017

It rained almost everyday this week.  Our road to our apartment was a literal lake.  We had one car get stuck and the elders helped to get him out.  There was mud all over them.

We did get to do a little traveling this week while President and Sister Hillam were off doing interviews.


This guy was hauling car parts in his cart.  Probably how he makes his living.


Just amazed at how they can carry things on their head and act like there's nothing to it.  Plantain chips and peanuts.

The president held some interviews at the mission home one day and of course it was raining very hard.  Our Ola Sisters had an early appointment and this is how they came.  How clever!

Sisters Aqwuoke, Brou-baah, Isaac and Nagbe.  Beautiful!

So I requested our flight home for January.  When I brought up the program and clicked on our names, my stomach started to hurt and I got kind of teary-eyed.  It's like - this is it.  There's no turning back now.  You have got to go home.  We did have to extend a few weeks however.  There is a new couple coming to take our place and we will have to train them.

So today, I thought I would bring up some pictures of our missionaries.

Elders Andreasen, Zakuani, Savage, Nelson and Mease.

Elders Nwichi, Etukudo, Assan and Chipapla.  Yamoransa Zone.

Elders Etim and Howard.  Elder Etim smiled!!!! Yeah!

Elders Apelu and Kallay.  Zone Leaders.

Sisters Anorue and Soda.  Elders Riboldi and King.

As Senior Couples, you really get to love these young men and women.  They all work so hard to brings others unto Christ and help them to receive the restored gospel.  

Gotta go.

Love you and miss you all.

Have a great week!
