Hey everybody!
So this week was a pretty good week. Last p-day was sweet down in
Kumasi! There are so many people there! It is also pretty dirty, but
I'm getting used to that living here in Africa. We were supposed to get
our mail and stuff that day in Kumasi but they didn't send it up! We
weren't too happy because the one chance they get in like a month to
send stuff up to us, they don't take advantage of it. I bought a couple
of African ties down in Kumasi too. I think that they look pretty
sweet. On Tuesday, we just did our normal thing and had district
meeting and went out and proselyted. On Wednesday we got all ready to
have our family night, but it rained a bunch so people didn't show up on
time. It kind of ruined the whole thing, but when it stopped raining a
lot of people came and we just played Uno the whole time. It is so
funny to play with all of the Africans because they absolutely love that
game. Everytime we go and teach some of the people, they ask if we can
play Uno. It's pretty funny. One of the Elders in my apartment made
some no bake cookies and they were so good! The only problem is that
they are expensive to make so we can't have them very much. On
Thursday, we found out that Propser, who is a man that works for the
church was coming up and bringing our mail! It was so great! I got two
packages from Mom and some letters and all that fun stuff! It was so
awesome to open up those packages and get good food and candy! Don't
ever worry about sending me too much stuff. Haha. Thanks for the SD
card reader Mom, it is just what I wanted. On Friday we did a service
project in the market in Sunyani. We woke up at like 5:00 in the
morning and went and cleaned the garbage off of a really dirty street.
Everything went good except we were really tired after. We also found
out that day that we had no water because the man weeding our yard with a machete chopped our main water line in half the night before and
didn't tell us! He just shoved a stick down the pipe to try and fix it!
Haha. We needed to shower after the project so we hooked up the hose
to the main water line and fed it through the window and into the
bathroom and screwed the shower head onto the end of the hose. It
worked so great! I got a sweet video of it so I will have to get it
home sometime soon. Also, right as we were doing that, our power went
out so we had no power and no water. Our shower was so awesome though.
On Sunday, I got to teach Sunday school this week. I think that it went
really good. I taught for a good 40 minutes and I had more material,
but I just ran out of time. That is one thing that I wouldn't have been
able to do back home. I love church because that is the one time we
get to turn on our air conditioner! It feels so great! We started our
third hour of church this last week too. We taught a way good lesson on
Sunday too. We taught Harriet and the lesson went really good! The
only problem is that we can only meet her once a week. We think that
she could be a really great member because she is really smart. Our
other investigators are going pretty good. Elijah and Micheal are
progressing good. Hopefully we can get a baptismal date for Elijah
soon. Also, Rita is coming along, but not as good as before so we will
probably have to baptize her at the end of October instead of the
beginning. Other than that, life it going good. It is still extremely
hot and humid here and I'm still trying to get used to that! Well, I
hope everybody is doing well! I love you all and miss you! Have a
great week!
Love Elder Kitchen
