The Dreaded Obruni Monster

Brothers and Sisters, friends and family, I love Ghana, but one disadvantage to being white is that half the adorable African kids are mortally afraid of you. It is a worse problem in Sunyani than anywhere else I have been on my mission. We are teaching a young married couple, Steven and Ruth, and they have a little girl name Felicity who, bless her heart, screams bloody murder and wails hysterically every time she sees me. #lowkeyracist Luckily Steven and Ruth came to church but Felicity was not having it with the two obrunis in investigator's class, so I spent most of the second hour out in the hallway reading the Young Women's Teaching Manuel. I read the chapter about dating and what young women should be looking for in a guy. It was a good read. #advicetotheyoungmen

Also, Elder Effiong and I joined the District Choir. It was... very interesting. We'll be singing I Am A Child Of God in Twi at District Conference next week. #Meyenyameba 
The good news is we got free malt and dinner roles out of it.

Kelvin came to church again and would've been getting baptized this coming Sunday but because of District Conference we are bumping him back to the 10th of September. He'll confirmed on the following Sunday. #greatestdayofthewholeyear

Also, Godfrey from Offinso was baptized on Saturday! #WAHOO!

That's really all for now folks! Love ya!

This was just sent to me. This picture was taken about 5 years ago. This makes me REALLY happy. #sensational6

This tree has two trees growing on top of it.

My companion fixing a washing machine that was left here. (He was successful!)
