Hello from Bo!

Hello everyone!
Everything is well here in Africa. Its getting more hot everyday but its not bad. So this week has been really interesting haha. We got robbed in the middle of the night. there is a pretty big thieve problem here. So it was 1:30 in the morning and i was asleep and my companion was asleep and our window was open because there is no way to sleep with out it open its too hot. But we have big metal bars on the outside of our window and then two layers of screen to keep bugs out. so we had the glass part open and the thieves cut through both screens. And they reached there hand through. Im so stupid I had my mp3 player and my speakers sitting right below the window and elder djanku had his cd player sitting there. Then our Cellphone was sitting there also. So they got all of that. then my bag was on the other side of the room on my desk and it has everything in it (my camera scriptures money EVERYTHING!) and they stuck a big long wooden pole through the window and were trying to hook my bag and pull it out the window. But my companion woke up and yelled TIEF! thats how they say thief here. And they ran away so they didnt get my bag which is really good! but they got my mp3 player speakers and phone. lol anyways quite an adventure. The thiefs are a bunch of scaredy cats though as soon as you yell at them they run like little girls. So maybe for my birthday in a a few months you could send me some type of music player and some speakers. I dont know maybe it would get stolen. And you would have to put the music on it there for me. umm. Today is super p-day because it is transfers this week! Can you believe it! it flew by! this weekend has been nice. I love when we get together with the whole zone I really like the guys in my zone. It makes me feel human again. So sunday we had zone dinner at the sewa rd apartment and it was huge because elder amague is going home he is awesome! And then today is super p-day so the whole zone got together at the big njagboima chapel and the jones our senior couple came in from freetown and we played games and stuff. My companion and I took second in the how well do you know your companion game! SWEET! so ya we were just walking home from there and stopped at the cafe to browse thats what they call email here there wording is different sometimes. Then tomorrow I guess we have Zone meeting. I have no idea what that is so that will be exciting! I dont think anything will change with me with transfers because next transfew will be my companions last transfer. So they wont move him. And then I'm just getting to know the area and so they wouldnt bring someone else in to learn it so i will probably be in bo branch for quite a while. Which I am fine with i really like it here. But I dk maybe the lord has a different plan we will see. I saw another monkey this week. It definetely wasnt a pet... lol. I had enough courage to ask the people and they said once it gets big with some meat on it they will eat it! Maybe i will get to try it! I hear its good just the texture throws you off.. haha i just pictured Karens reaction when I said that. umm..... We had a lot of appointments bounce this week I dont know why. It was frustrating because some of them were our really good progressing investigators so im going to go hunt them down and find out what is going on. and its been hard because we havent had a phone. we just got a new one from brother jones so we have to go over to the cellphone place to hook it up. so we will actually be able to call the investigators now. well thats all I have.... Oh the jones brought some dearelders in this morning i just skimmed through them fast. i think there was one from mom dad grandma r ciera logan cristi and josh i think.
