Carson's Mission July 2022-July 2024 Côte d'Ivoire Abidjan West Mission

Salut! J'espère que vous allez tous bien! Je vous aime beaucoup! Aussi pardonnez-moi! Je n'ai pas beaucoup à dire cette semaine. Quand-même allons-y. Ok so this week had a pretty decent start. The work was starting to pick up quick. We had good lessons with members participating on Tuesday. Some lessons were good others not do much. For example. We had one where the girl just kept laughing and she couldn't retain like one thing we said. Yako. But we had another where this mom said she knew our church was true and considers herself a member! Sadly she said she already made a commitment to the catholic church and her husband. But then st the perfect timing her husband came. He's the key! If we can help him understand the church is true then the wife will easily follow along with him. Also that night I bought food for the apartment. I thought it would be about 3500. We got chicken and attièke. At Niangon 5 it cost like 1800 or something for a full chicken and his sauce so...

Hey Everyone! This week was pretty cool! I still miss Micao a little but I'll totally grow to love this area soon! It's a pretty area with lots of potential. Not gonna lie the area is kinda dead right now. No one is really progressing and we've ran into a couple other difficulties. We've been working with the ward a lot this week and I think they'll start helping a ton soon! That will definitely boost missionary work. The area is beautiful tho. It's really big and the apartments kinda far from where we actually work but we'll be moving soon which is nice. Our apartment right now is SUCH garbage oh my ahha. No water ever. Like ever. And all of our reserves are out. Which means no clean dishes. Dirty kitchen which doesn't help in an already cockroach full apartment. Luckily a handyman came with water today so we got the kitchen cleaned up. It's still a trash apartment tho. The ceiling is falling in certain spots. The paint is getting ripped up ...

Hey everyone. I'm writing quick so I can go to area early!! I'll start with Monday and get to transfer news at the end, so stick around! We got big stuff coming! Monday, was a lit p day, we went out that night and just contacted like 4 members it was fun. Tuesday was good we had district Council which was pretty decent and then we had a slow day in the area. Ended it with a lesson with one of my favorite families. I love them so much. I'll send pics. Wednesday was a good day too! We had two relief society mama's that came to the area with us and brought us with them to some people that need our help. It was really productive and im grateful for their willingness in the Lords work. We taught a lot of important lessons and finished it off with a phenomenal friend who will br baptized very soon! Thursday was HYPE! I Had an exchange with the one and only Elder Hendrickson. He's seriously such a good missionary. Like he is so motivated in the Lords work and he reall...

Hey Everyone, what's up this week was valid. I've been told I talk about food a lot. We'll have a little part about food this week but outside of that it'll be focused on good old missionary work! So the start of this week was slow ngl. We had District Council. It went well. Nothing special sadly. Then we had a very slow day in the area. Wednesday we went to a food place (insert where I talk about food) we bought Pizza and Buffalo Wings. It was awesome. There was also a pool table. I went undefeated not to flex or anything I love Hendy so much Thursday I had an exchange with my MT Elder Knoll! It was fun seeing how much we've grown. Coming from the beginning where we couldn't even have conversations. Sooo crazy! We had fun. We found a couple monkeys. One HUGE monkey that was bigger than me, and one baby monkey. The baby was straight up racist no joke. Like black babies were shoving their hands in its face but the second my collegue or I stepped In his di...

Hey everyone!! Straight into it Wednesday was so hype I had an exchange with Elder Byers it was awesome. We were having so much fun and working hard. We found 4 new people and we were working with members. Thennnnnn, they called an emergency drill! We all had to go and meet at a stake center but before we had to pack our bags. WHAAA. THEY ALSO SAID WE COULDNT TAKE TAXIS. WHAT THE. LIKE NAH. Micao is SOOO far. We take a taxi to sector everyday and they made us walk. We left at 11:40 got to out apartment at like 1 ish, had to pack a bad and then walk to the stake center. We got there at like 1:30-2. Oh my gosh we were walking fast too. It wasted so much time but hey, whatever. We finished the exchange with some awesome work and then the night we had cake for Elder Larsons birthday. SOOOO HYPEEEE. we started eating cake with our hand and rubbed cake into everyone's face. I'll throw some photos up Thursday I had an exchange with Elder Okubalu which was also super fun. He lov...
