Sorry this letter is coming a little earlier today... I hope that we still get to talk a little bit! I don't think that I have ever told you this, but the keyboards here are different. I just realized that when I get back, I will have to get used to using an English one again... That's gonna be rough! I bet it'll come back faster than it took me to learn here! I remember emailing you when I first got here not being able to work my stupid computer. So thankful for the ability to progress in my life. Now only if we could take away the ability to decline in life... Hmm... Interesting! "Soulja Boy" just came on in the cyber... Haha YULE!!! Africa... Well thank you very much for your letter! Loved it as always. And Kylee and Sam are moving into bob and Weesies house!? That is so AWESOME!! That'll be so nice! I think that they should just keep in like it is too... That would have been a pretty awesome joke if you didn't tell me though... Just be all like, "hey, go say hi to the Carlings!" Then find Ky and Sam... That basement will make a pretty sweet gaming room. I am excited for that! We have now had 2 of your 5 children live on the same street as you. Dang mamma we must love you!
This week was probably one of the most boring weeks ever... Haha. Literally NOTHING happened! I really just woke up, ate, studied, taught, ate again, then taught again... Repeat! I guess I can give you a schedule of my week. I guess that would be cool??

12:30-13:30 - Lunch

So yeah there is what my week was like in a nut shell... With some variations here and there... Depending on meeting at the church and Zone leader stuff. Oh yeah!!! There was a HUGE storm last night!! It was absolutely crazy! I was watching out my window for about 30 minutes just watching lightning.. Then all of a sudden, bam... Huge lightning started cracking in the sky like Indiana Jones' whip, rain drops started rapping on the window like the Raven in Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven". A sudden chill came creeping though the open window. And then it happened. In the crack of a lightning bolt, the heavens opened up and poured. It seemed as if there were rain drops coming from every direction. At first I was hesitant to close the window, watching the lightning dance across the clouds, and rain as thick as lemon drops obscuring what was once still, and quite. The wind picked up and the rain started pelting into my room. I jumped to my feet and slammed the window shut just in time for a huge surge of water to meet just the window. It was like the rain was upset that it didn't make it inside, with it falling harder, and harder. With this dominating the effect of the storm, window shut, I fled from my room onto our front deck, and continued to watch the battle between water and fire. 15 minutes past, and it seemed as if the tempest calmed, and the storm past, only leaving behind flooded streets. It was pretty sick. But you know what follows rain. Mosquito's... And humidity, and hot... But it's all good... Loved it nevertheless :)
As for our amis... They are going pretty well. Kinda hard to be on the same page at times. I have already told you about that though, and don't want to dwell on it. I really miss Dagrou.. It's a shame that I was only with him for 4 weeks. Another transfer is coming soon, but I have a feeling that I will be with my guy for awhile... Well I love you all, and the support that you all give me! Tell everyone hi for me, and to have as well a good conference weekend! Have a good day :) Love you!
