Hey again family!
So I'm going to start today with a funny thing
that happened on Sunday. After we went to Kenkuase to visit there, we
were leaving and we were lucky enough to have a taxi waiting by the
trail to take us back to Nuamakrom so we wouldn't have to walk the four
miles back. Then I got in and noticed how ghetto and crappy the taxi
was. It was by far the worst one I've seen in Ghana...and that is
saying something. The windshield was completely cracked all over, it
was covered with dust inside and the doors didn't really even close. We
jumped on in and then a bunch of other people piled in with us. We
ended up having four people in the backseat (all adults), and then the
crazy part is that we had six people in the front! and there were only
two seats. There were two adults and two kids in the passenger side and
two people in the driver seat. The way my companion and I put it was
that it was a jungle car. The road is so crappy and we kept smashing
the bottom of the car on the ground, and then the front right wheel got
all jacked up and was rubbing up against the wheel well the rest of the
way. The car ended up dying right as it got to our destination. It was
pretty funny.
So I'm really looking forward to Christmas next week. I can't
believe it is already time to call home. I'm excited to talk to you all
soon. This week I went to Foso again for a meeting with the stake
presidency and I again had to sleep over there. It's fun over there but
it makes me so tired the next day. I never sleep on time when I'm over
there. The meeting was good and the stake presidency is happy with the
work that we are doing. We are still preparing about two people or so
to be baptized at the end of this month so I'm hoping that everything
goes through with that. The baptism would be after Christmas though. We
played soccer today and I am so tired because we had to wake up at 5:00
am yesterday and today and also the game drained all of my energy. I'm
not excited to travel back up to Praso on that crappy tro tro. I've
become a travel machine since I have come to Praso. Traveling here
isn't fun at all either. It's the most uncomfortable thing in the
world. I just can't wait to drive a car and have the A/C blowing in my
face! That's when riding in a car is awesome. Well I guess we'll talk
more next week. I'll email you next Monday...but if I don't, it's
because the power was out or something and I'll just call home the next
day! Thanks everybody...I love you all.
Love Elder Kitchen
