GOODBYE MTC

We are finally leaving here on Tuesday. Elder Nash (the new president of the area for west africa) came and spoke to us yesterday.

Our instructors are both from Benin and they told us about some of the crazy people that practice Voodoo religion there. They have huge ceremonies and sacrifices and chase down white people and we are not allowed to go anywhere near houses that have Voodoo markings on the side. They will chase us down stab us (for our blood) and if anyone takes pictures of them they chase them down and smash their cameras so that they will not have them... Expect lots of pictures of them from me in the future. But in the pictures this week I traded ties with Elder To'A (260 lbs of pure Tongan Muscle). And The view of the ocean from our apartment before we leave Tuesday morning.

I'm sure I will have a lot more next week when I am in Togo and Benin (but maybe not electricity). Awesome to hear from everybody this week! Hope you all have another great week!
