It's been a pretty good week; keeping super busy which is awesome. So going back to the beginning of last week. Elder Chabot and Hermana Quispe left, and we got Elder Jepson and Hermana Moyle who is just entering the field. They are both pretty cool missionaries; it's been fun getting to know them a little more.

So on to the rest of the week. Like always, I can't remember
a lot of what happened so just a bunch of stuff that stood out. So to start
out, we had a challenging eating appointment. A sister from Africa, heard that Elder Phillips likes fufu, so she decided to make it for us. Now,
as I have stated in a previous email, fufu is pretty interesting, kinda
different, but the crucial part to a good fufu is the soup. And this member
made us a very typical African soup made by her tribe. This was a soup made of spinach, chicken, bones, fish, a black mystery sauce, and huge chunks of
caracól. For those who don't know, caracól is Spanish for snail. Now, I love
trying new foods, and when I heard what we were going to eat, I was pretty
excited, but it wasn't what I expected. It was pretty hard to eat. What made it even worse was that due to the festival a couple
days earlier on p-day all of the stores were closed, so we couldn’t get
groceries, so by this point we had almost nothing to eat. I was pretty queasy
for the rest of the day. Ha, but
that was a little fun, too.
