Tanner's Mission Experiences

Pictures:  He looks wet in this picture?  The bottom is a picture of cockroaches on the floor after they sprayed the kitchen.  He said it's "only a small portion of them...there were like hundreds"...he did clarify that he still won't go near a spider, he makes his companions kill them! Hey friends! Life is seriously sweet in Africa.  Like wow. Time is flying by like crazy!  My companion is super cool, and we enjoy going to the gym together in the mornings.

Too many missionaries set a goal with the mindseat of, if I come close then its okay. It's not. When you meet your goal it's okay. When you exceed your goal then you're a champ! And you will...

No letter today...just some pictures.
