Hello everybody!
This week has been a pretty sweet week. We
didn't really get to go out and proselyte too much. Darn! haha, I'm
not too disappointed. Last Tuesday I instructed at my first district
meeting. I was pretty nervous to do it. I don't think that I did a
very good job, but it is done and over with and I did it. Haha. We also
are teaching a man named Elijah and he is really cool. He seems like
he is really accepting everything that we teach him. We asked him if he
would be baptized at the end of October and he said that he would if
learns a little more about the church! Hopefully he will continue to
want to learn more. After that, we went to the Eusbett Hotel restaurant
and had some PIZZA!!! It was the first American food that I have had
since I have been here. The only problem is that I may or may not have
spent 12 cedis to get it and I also may or may not have bought 9 cedis
worth of Dr. Pepper to go along with it....Hey! Don't be getting mad at
me! It was something that had to be done! Also, our district leader
was with us and he just went home today and so we had to have a party
for him. So I spent a grand total of 21 cedis and all of that stuff and
I only get 120 cedis in a month! haha, I'm still on track for the rest
of the month. It was sooooo goood!!!! I love pizza. The next day, our
district leader was still on splits with us in our apartment because
his companion was in a meeting down in cape coast for a couple of days,
so me, Elder Hernandez, and Elder Vanchiere went to his area to go to
some of his appointments. I got some sweet sunglasses that I would
never ever wear back home, but I thought, "What the heck?! I'm in
Africa." I'll have to send you a picture of them sometime. After that,
we came back to Fiapre to have family night, but again, it got rained
out. It absolutely poured on that day! I had to run through it and I
got so soaked. So we just decided to make some no-bake cookies and
stuff because we couldn't go out. Then on the 29th, we had our cleaning
day because apartment checks were the next day. We spent the whole
entire day cleaning that dang apartment! It was super clean after
though. Then the next day, President and Sister Shulz came up and did
the apartment checks and interviews. It was fun to see them because we
don't really ever get to see them up here in Sunyani. Mom, I noticed in
your email that you saw pictures of Sister Shulz's blog and it talked
about them coming up and having a conference. That was up where I am in
Sunyani. They made 3 out of the 4 units into branches up here. The
only one that isn't a branch now is ours. The church has only been up
in Sunyani for one year now. So on Saturday, we just set up everything
for that conference and stuff and we all just hung out as a zone. The
assistants drove us around and stuff so we had a lot of fun. Some
members made all of us some Fufu and it was really good. I really like
Fufu now. Right after that, we went back to the Bennett's apartment and
had a pancake party!!!! I was already full, but those pancakes were
delicious. So on Sunday we had our District Conference. It was sweet
to not have to plan church for one week. After the conference and
everything, another member make all of us some Fufu because a couple of
the Elders left this week. There was so much Fufu! It was really good
though. I have eaten more African food this weekend then I have the
whole time that I have been in Ghana. haha. So that was my week.
Really busy with a lot of different things. This week is going to be
back to normal. I'm actually kind of glad for that. It is transfer
week this week just if you were wondering. So I have now been out in
Sunyani for one transfer. Well, I hope everything is going well at
home. Tell everybody hello and that I love them. Talk to you next
week!
Love Elder Kitchen
p.s. Happy Birthday to Brett and
Jeff! I hope you had a great birthday Brett and Jeff, I hope that you
have a great birthday as well!
