Major Key

Wednesday might have been the longest day of my mission so far. We left the apartment at 8 in the morning and had a teaching appointment pretty much every 30 minutes until about 9:30 at night. It was awesome all the lessons we got to teach and how we were running all over Agoe. Usually during the day we switch off whoever has to hold he keys to our apartment just to switch things up. Legall and I always joke with each other though out the day about how we don't have the keys or our phone just to try and get a reaction out of the other, panic the other a little bit. So on Wednesday like any other day we did that the whole day. Around 9 we started heading back to the apartment after eating a ton of pat with one of the people that we teach, I was just trying to keep it all down the entire walk back, we got to the apartment and did the usual "Dang bro, I don't have the keys" until we realized that neither of us actually had the keys. Kind of a big problem for us because even though we share an apartment with two other missionaries we lock our room as a measure of additional security. No keys= no access to anything in our room, like our food, soap, pretty much everything we need.

We frantically started calling all the people we had taught to see if we had left the keys at their homes. After we called every person we could possibly think of we decided to do the only thing we could in that moment- pray. After wandering around Agoe we went to our church building (that we weren't at all day), and boom our keys were just sitting on a table there. I still don't understand how that's possible given we weren't there at any point in the day and there is nothing on our keys that would signify any relation with the church. I'm just grateful they were there so that I was able to shower and eat that night.

Hope you guys all have a great week.
