Hey everyone! It's been a couple of weeks since my last email so I've got some fun stuff to talk about!
To start off, we had a baptismal service on Saturday! Two of our friends, Frère Djemien and Sœur Mélaine, were baptised! They've both progressed so well since I first got here to Port-Bouët. I'm so proud of them.
Two weeks ago we had a few chances to hear from Elder Martinez, the General Seventy assigned as the President for the Africa West Area of the Church. We got to see him both at a Zone Conference with a bunch of other missionaries and at a Stake Conference with all of the members of our wards. We also had a good amount of amis who came with us to hear from Elder Martinez. It was a great week all around.
Last Wednesday night Elder Hartshorn, one of the other Elders in my apartment, got a call from our mission president saying that he'll be transferred to be a Zone Leader the next day. So we helped him speed-pack and sent him off to his new apartment. It was a crazy fast change.
On Saturday, I started teaching an English class that's open to whoever wants to come. I'm really excited to finally be starting this class after spending so much time wanting to start it up. The first class went great. I'm very excited to be able to help people in this way.
On Saturday, in an effort to find a working ATM, a few of us Elders ended up at the airport. Turns out, the airport is only a five minute drive or so from my apartment. Anyway, the airport has a Burger King in it so we took advantage of the, extremely rare, opportunity and bought some crazy over-priced burgers. After a long seven months in Côte d'Ivoire, I once again know what a burger tastes like.
I hope you've all had a great week and that you'll have an even better one ahead!
À la prochaine,
Elder Farr
