Happy Monday! Hey there! How’s it going?! I
am doing good. Yeah things are going on good here. It’s been a bit of a hectic
week, but it’s been good. We finally were
able to watch conference yesterday, it was awesome and we saw it in English too so that’s
always a plus! Elder Holland gave such an awesome talk
on the atonement, I loved it so much! The Lord is there to make all
things right. We do live in a fallen world, but through the Savior there
will be order and peace in the world to come. All things will be made
right and all will stand to feel His loving arms around them. How
wonderful it will be! On the note of Elder Larsen being the new
Assistant, yeah isn't that awesome! I have gotten to know him a bit out
here and yeah he is a great missionary. He will do a great job and it
will be nice to see him more. I was pretty excited to hear it was him!
And man that is so crazy that those people are getting married and
serving missions and stuff, life is moving forward eh? So strange but
cool! I am doing good though, the week has been crazy but good. A little
long but still nice! We gave our report from MLC and one thing we talked
about was budgeting our money. Well when we told the zone that Pres wants
people to budget better, there were a few who didn't like that. And I guess
they thought it was my idea or something. People got kind of angry at me haha. On Wednesday almost all day we did transfers. A lot
easier than in Cape but took more time. We just had to send one person
off ourselves and then let the district leaders deal with their own
districts so that was nice. We then went to Winneba to pick up the new
people since the District leader in Winneba got transferred out. Got
them on their way and went back to Swedru! It was funny because there
were some new sisters and we put them in a taxi to go to their apartment
and the taxi driver’s battery died. So, bare handed he undid the battery
from the car, used another cars live battery to jumpstart it only using
the wires and then reconnected the battery bare handed. We saw that
and tried to switch cars, but he wouldn't let us. Well, 10 seconds later
it died again so we switched cars and got a lower price because they
wasted our time. Gotta love the crazy things you see! But yeah, the last
few weeks we have been so busy with other things that teaching
investigators has been kind of 2nd priority...but this week we FINALLY
had time to proselyte most of the week and we found out that we have
lost a lot of investigators! So we spent a lot of the days finding and
working with members to find people. It was kind of stressful, but we
found a lot of promising people to work with! So that is great! This
week we will be seeing most of them! We have 3 baptisms planned for the
30th, a mom and 2 of her kids! So that is exciting! The rest of the
family will hopefully be baptized later! But the three of them are ready
now so we will move forward! She fed us fufu yesterday after church and
it was great! On that subject, the worst food I have had is probably
some fufu. We had some this week and it was just terrible, the soup was
just garbage! There is a lot of fufu that is just nasty, usually made by
people and not chop bars. Most of the time fufu is good, but sadly sometimes
it is just horrible! It’s my favorite food in Ghana and my least
favorite ;)
But yeah, it’s been a good
week. We spent some time visiting members, making them smile and want to
help us, seeking out new people and all that good stuff! It’s nice! And no, the packages have not made it
into my hands yet...though one is just sitting at the mission home! The
AP's forgot to bring it, so I will probably have to wait until the 29th
when we go to Cape. But thanks in advance! ;) As for school, maybe you
should switch that class for me; I am thinking the Communications/public speaking
class sounds a bit better and more useful. That’s what education is about
right? Using what you learn? I don’t want to waste my time going to plays
haha... Hmmm. [Mom and Brady are trying to plan his college schedule for
him, hopefully he’ll be happy with it and won’t hate us for the choices we make
haha!] Well I think that’s about it from Ghana! I am doing good, happy, healthy,
working hard! So all is well! Thanks for everything, you are de
BEST!!!!!! Medo wo! (Love you!)
