So yeah. That's kind of crazy once I lay it all out. I love the busyness of it, though. There's always stuff to do.

Also big news: TRANSFERS

Transfers are basically when missionaries get moved around to different places. One of my companions, Sister Emmanuel is going to Meridian. We'll miss her so much, but she will be so great over there. So it will just be me and my companion, Sister Millard. We are also getting our missionary teaching boundaries changed, so that we won't have an English ward as well as the Swahili ward, it will just be Swahili work, which is definitly going to make our language skills better lol.

Also even bigger news: HAIRCUT!!

I got my haircut today. Here's a picture of my companions and I infront of the haircut place, me with my very long hair before it got chopped off:

And here is me now. I love it so much:

My haircut today was terrifying, but it turned out SO GOOD.  Also, the student doing in was so scared lol. She'd never done a pixie cut before, and so she kept being like "AAAAAH" whenever she cut a large chunk of hair off. Once she was like "oops". A little scary. I would have loved to have it done by a real hairstylist, but one of the service missionaries owns the hair school, and he gives all the missionaries free appointments, which is so cool.

Also I think it's cool how much grilled fish Africans make. Apparently that's a thing. We met this lady just grilling whole fish outside, like everybody does it.

Spiritual Thought:
 I absolutly love being here in the immigrant population areas, because there's so many languages and it just amazes me how worldwide the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is. So many different languages and there are recources and books and confrence translations for everybody in their native language which is SO COOL to me. I love that our church is making such a huge effort for the blessings to be avaliable to everyone regardless of language.
