Hello!
So my New Year was alright. It was the first time that I didn't
stay up until midnight for I don't even know how long. So I guess I'll
just tell you about my week then. Last monday night we had a party with
all of the members at Nkwabeng and Fiapre. There was food, christmas
music and some fireworks. It was a lot of fun and it was good to have
our Fiapre members there because they were able to meet some more
members of the church here in Sunyani. Then on Tuesday we had fufu at
Sister Affiahs house because Elder Eldredge was leaving for Kumasi, so
it was his farewell dinner. So Wednesday was sad because Elder Eldredge
left and he has been up here in Fiapre with me since I got here so it
was weird to see him go. Then it was just a normal day of teaching
people and all that fun stuff. On Thursday while we were out
proselyting, there was a huge group of little kids that were all yelling
and telling us to give them money so I started to chase them just like I
always do. They were laughing and running away but then one kid just
fell hard on his face like he was sliding headfirst into homeplate. I
hurried and picked him up from the ground and he was crying and I didn't
know what to do because I felt bad so I just grabbed 20 pesewas out of
my pocket and put it in his hand. Right as I did that he stopped
crying...I wonder if he tricked me into doing that. Oh well, I felt
bad. It was really funny and Elder Belnap was just laughing at me.
Then New Years Eve was just normal. We didn't really do anything
different at all. We went to a baptism at Estates and then just went
back to the apartment. It was so busy because everybody was going to
their churches. Everyone here goes to church and they do like prayer
service things all night long. We could here them pretty much all night
because they were loud. There were a few people doing fireworks and
those kinds of things but we just went to bed. I wanted to stay up but
then I just thought what am I going to do. So I just went to sleep so I
wasn't tired the next day. So I woke up and it was a new year. Well,
it was for me. It was still 2011 for all of you guys when I woke up so I
celebrated with you a little bit when it hit 7:00 AM here. Sunday was
good. We had a decent number of people at church and a lot of kids.
Elder Belnap and I took care of the primary and that is always
exhausting. It went good though. Then we just went out and taught some
lessons. It was extremely hot yesterday and I was just dying. It will
be a nice feeling to be able to sit in an air conditioned house on a
hot day and not feel extrememly uncomfortable. So my week was pretty
normal. I love you guys and hope everything is going well! I love all
of you and Happy New Year!
Love Elder Kitchen
