Decembe 27, 2016 I dont know what to write for a subject..

Wow. What an insane week! So much happened, but i dont have tons of time to write today!

Last wednesday we had a big mission christmas party! We woke up super early, and went to a big service project. We sanded, and painted a whole house! I was on roof duty, so i got to basically mop with paing so it was really fun! After, we all got claned up and changed, and we went to this erally nice resturant on the beach! The table that i sat at was probably 30 yards from the crashing waves! so it was a very nice place to eat! We ate, and then all of the different zones sang, and then our president talked to us for a long time. Then they gave us presents so that was nice! Plus, my president got me a personal present for some reason. He pulled me off to the side, and gave me a very nice black and blue Manning Colts jersey!! I couldnt believe it!

Also, i dont know if you remember, but this sunday was christmas! We got to baptise A man and his wife on sunday morning! So that was a very great christmas gift for me and my companion! After church, we met with all of the missionaries in our zone and had a big lunch together. Then i had to wait until sunday night to skype with my family because of the time difference! But it went very well i thiought! It wasnt super good connection, but i got to talk with my amazing family! Tosh was there, and i even got to meet my little nephew for the first time! Overall,  twas a great christmas day!

Today we got to go to a small zoo! We got to hold monkeys, and baby aligators! Elder Uaua got a little too close to one of the baboons and he somehow got his shoes off of his feat and ripped them up! The got about inches away from a full grown lion too! They would put big branches in his little cage and he would totally rip thel up!! Then the owner would stick his hand in the cage, and smack him in the face!! He would get so close to getting bitten every time, but never did!  

Lastly, i got a new companion! Elder Ouizan Bi! He is from the Ivory Coast, and he is a cool guy! I actually dont know him very well, because ive been with him for about an hour. But he seems really nice, and ready to work!

I hope everyone had a great christmas, and will have a great New Years! I hope that you all remember the real reason of christmas, and the whole reason of everything really! Without Christ, there would be no point to anything. This season i invite you to try and grow closer to your family, and the ones who you love. Je vous aime beaucoup.
