Happy Ghanaian Independence Day!

Hello everyone! #whatitis!?

This week has been nuts! Elder Otieno and I are in intense work mode right now because we whitewashed Offinso this week and apparently the missionaries who were here before us didn't know what an area book was. #classicgkmelders So the past few days have been spent locating member's houses, making phone calls to random contacts in the area phone and contacting Contacting CONTACTING! #Notthatthereisanythingwrongwiththat

 

We've also got Elder Christiansen (from Pleasant Grove) and Elder Dadzie (from Ghana) in our apartment. They're pretty cool. They seem to be hard workers.

 

I received a call on Saturday informing me that Abigail and Jerry James were baptized!! I was super excited about that! I was able to speak to both of them on the phone and it seems like they are really happy and confident about their decisions to be baptized. #spirit!

 

Congrats to Evolution! I heard you guys killed it in Hollywood last week. You guys rock! #numberoneonthestagenumberoneinmyheart

 

Also, today is Ghanaian independence day so Offinso is hopping right now! There's tons of people playing music, marching down the street and sitting around eating food. It's basically like American Independence day only not nearly as awesome. #landofthefree #homeofthebrave #americanpride 

 

Hope everyone is doing well! I love you all and think about you every day!
