Hello everyone! First off, I'm sorry I don't have pictures this
week. I email from an internet cafe and so sometimes the option to
upload pictures is not available... luckily I'm going down to Kumasi
this week for mid-transfer training and our Mission Home has wifi so I
will be able to send my mother my pictures from there.
This week was a roller-coaster!
After a couple days of no water in the apartment and living off only the trashcan full of water that Elder Renfroe brought us, our water has returned and supposedly is here to stay! #yes! We will see, but we haven't had any problems yet, so that's good!
My diet has switched from rice to yams and gari [made from cassava flakes], then we dip those in either cabbage stew or tomato and sardine stew. #lotsofstew I'm starting to get the hang of this whole Ghana thing finally, except for the fact that I'm still not really picking up the language at all. #thisisntreallyanenglishmission And a lot of you have been asking and the answer is no...No one can understand me while I'm teaching. haha! But it's all good. They usually get the idea. #teachingbythespirit.
Also, we did have a few heartbreaks this week. Brother Rex did not show up for his baptismal interview on Saturday and we haven't been able to get a hold of him since then. So that was pretty frustrating. He was supposed to be baptized on Sunday right after church (that's how they do it here), but he has disappeared. Also, we were teaching our Relief Society President's less active daughter, Sister Mercy, and trying to get her to start coming back to church. We came back a few days later to hear that she had converted to Islam. That was really sad. Our poor Relief Society President was heartbroken.
On the upside, I got to teach Primary in our branch this week. I stand by my word that the little kids here are the most adorable things on the planet. We learned about why it is important to be reverent in sacrament meeting. #verypowerfullesson
That's all I've got for you this week! Much love to you all!
