Mission President Visit

Hey family!
Items from my week:
-I have more to say this time so let me start by saying that President and Sister Holmes came and spent the week in Tamale with us. Their main purpose was to find locations to rent for 4 chapels so we can grow faster. He went with my companion and I one day and we picked a place out. It'll be right in the middle of our area and it looks like a nice place! AND it's on a main road. It'll be awesome. But we also had 2 movie night firesides. One on tuesday, one on thursday. The tuesday one was more of a warm up for the thursday one. Tuesday about 25 came, and we watched Joseph Smith the Prophet of the Restoration. President Holmes gave a powerful explanation about the restoration to those present (remember this is like 90% investigators). Then on thursday, we rented a conference room at a nice hotel and we filled half the room (like 40-50 people total) and watched The Testaments. I always love the part at the end when Helam realizes that it's Jesus who touches his shoulder. It's great acting. We got quite a few new people from that.
-My burn is healing. No worries. Sister Holmes was worried about it all week but it's totally fine and healing. By friday it'll be fully healed I think.
-Elders and I are creating our own language with new symbols and stuff. There's around 35 letters. It's super awesome and will be our special secret language. We are actually getting far with it though. We have pronouns already, next we're doing verbs. We feel like Tolkien, creating our own language for no reason whatsoever.
That's all this week! We will be preaching again on Tuesday we think.
Love you guys! Keep the faith! Good luck washing! You should do it by hand!
-Elder Gagne
