Bonjour fellow missionaries!
I hope all is well with all of you. Just to put it out there, I realize I posted the same post twice but in my defense the internet here did not show that it had been posted. Things are going well here, French is coming along but it is not so easy. I am learning a lot about French culture and history. We had bible study on Tuesday night and in the discussion groups we had both French and English which was great because I was able to contribute to the discussion. One thing that has been difficult is that Yann and Rita (the missionaries) have asked us to go out into public and strike up conversations with people on the street, in the metro, in cafes, wherever we can in order to build relationships with them and possibly invite them to church events later on. So far I have met a couple from Atlanta, 4 college students from the states who are studying here, and a woman who I met while I was swing dancing. I got her email and I am going to stay in contact with her and possibly even send her a Swing Cats t-shirt.
Christina may be coming to a church picnic this Saturday which would be awesome! She is a lot of fun and I hope to get know her better! Another thing that we have been doing is eating at the same cafe every day so that we can build relationships with the employees and the owner of the cafe. Hopefully we will be able to build friendships and possibly minister to these people before the summer is out. Pray that the church picnic is a success and that we pick up French quickly, I plan on continuing French in the fall so at the very least this is laying a good foundation for that. This time next week I'll be in Burkina, please pray for a peace that passes understanding for me as anxiety builds and that God will prepare my heart as well as the hearts of the missionaries and the Dagara people I'll be working with. Thank you all and I'll update again soon! Au Revoir!
Your fellow missionary,
Ryan

Tell them the truth Ryan Jones!!! That you used me for a month, while I paid for everything; meals and trips. That I took you on a camping trip, on Valentine's Day, I paid for to help you cope with your brother's death. That on your brother's birthday, you got blackout drunk and I took care of you while you verbally abused me. That I saved your life because you were alcohol poisoned and were chocking on your own vomit. That after you committed yourself to me and told me to hang on while you sort all this out, you then disposed of me like yesterday's garbage. Tell them the truth!!! I am honorable and will defend this any day and anytime!!!! Why don't you tell them what an abusive alcoholic you are and how you can't it get up normally because you sit at home, jerking off to FART PORN (not a joke people SERIOUSLY-he jerked off to fart porn while I watched-HIS request). Don't you fucking dare lie about me when I treated you like gold and cherished you!!!
