Tonton Rouge! - Affery, Côte d'Ivoire

Bonjour tout le monde!

It's been another stellar week in Affery. Elder Mouanda, my trainee, got here last week so this was my first full week as a trainer! It's been a blast and I've really been able to see how the Lord can make up the difference for our shortcomings. 

There's this house that I've passed by almost every day over the last 3 months where all of the kids get really excited every time I pass and shout "tonton rouge!" (Side note: I'm glad to see that I've graduated from white nicknames to red ones). Anyways, earlier this week, we finally found the time to stop and talk a while with some of the adults who live there. I'm really glad we did because now we've gone back there almost every day this week and we've met some really cool people! Every time we go back, they invite more friends and family! It's been a fantastic experience.

I've seen the Lord's hand in my life a lot this week through the gift of tongues. I'm far from fluent or anything of that sort but I've been overjoyed to see how I can finally connect with people and have good, meaningful lessons and conversations in French.

It's been a good week with Elder Mouanda. I'm really excited to see how the next one goes. I love Affery and I'm so happy to be out among the people here every day. It's been more than three months now since I got here and I feel like I've really become a part of the community. 

Anyways, that's all for this week. I love and miss you all!

Elder Farr
