Dang that's a lot of funny stuff. With Chandler and Blake. Everyone sounds like they're dying [metaphorically speaking]. That's really bad news about RJ. [RJ is a friend of Cameron's who's lung unexpectedly collapsed...it's common in late teen, skinny boys. But he has fully recovered and is now serving a mission in the Dominican Republic] I know the Lord will prepare a way for him. He's in good hands. Thank you for all you've done. Packages, info like the french speaking. Elder Hubbard wasn't very happy with me. I read his french letter. Lol! Thank you for that info.
The poeple have one college here. They do have buses, but really they're just mini vans. I think you have to pay too cause one of my freinds here walks to school. That's a 45 min walk. Stinks.
Anyways. Sounds like everyone is semi well. No you didn't send me diareha stuff. I think my body has fully adjusted to the food and stuff. For example. I was eating some rice the other day and I found this ball thing in my rice. It most definitely was a fish eyeball. Didn't even phase me. I just kept on eating. LOL! One picture came through. They take forever to come through. And Dad. You're hilarious.
Well some stuff about here. I saw The Elephants!!! It's the Ivorian soccer team. I'm really into soccer and Rugby now. I also had this different form of baka a member bought for me and I had to eat it. (obligation) and I was choking down the bites. It was bad.... It's been raining the last couple of days. It reminds me a lot of home. I miss playing games with my brothers and doing fun stuff inside when it rains like this. I got pretty soaked. We eventually took a taxi because it was coming down so hard and ithe water was up to the running boards and then we got stuck in a stupid intersection for 30 mintues.
This computer is incredibly slow. Sorry. Not a lot to send today. The 25th is transfers and I think I'm going to be transferred. I got a buzz cut. I've never had my hair this short but I love it. Except the massive burn I got the next day. Lol! I look and feel so different now. I think only a mission can do this to a person. In every way I just feel different and I know it's all been a blessing of the Lord. I taught a class on sunday in French too. Nobody answered my questions so I felt really down, but we had a member of the 70 at our ward and I think he's the first black 70, but he gave me a little pep talk and I felt better after that. I only had 20 minutes to prepare too. AI AI AI .
Well That's all I really have to share today. The baptisms are normal I guess like the US. Just in French and everyone is black except elder cloward and me. The people I am teaching are interesting also. I love seeing them understand and grow. It's like my patriarchal blessing said, I will love the people and baptize many!
I love you all very much and hope all continues to be well.
Love ya!
Elder Halvorsen
P;S; It's easier for me when all your questions are at the beginning of the letter cause I don't have to spend time searching for them. Thnk you! : )
