A father to be!

At the Temple

Monday was sweet! We did a few miscellaneous things for Elder Ofordeme and did some small shopping since transfer is coming. Still no water, Joy! We came back and took a small nap. Emailing was terrible. The network was slow and the machines were terrible. Every good place didn't have network or power, so we eventually gave up on emailing.

Family Home Evening was wonderful. We had Christina and the Imbrah Family. We played spoons and taught a lovely lesson correlating to the Second Coming and how we are preparing to meet Christ. All of that was related to the game.

Turtles :)

Gymed so hard Tuesday. Studies are always good. Jesus the Christ is one of my favorite books ever! It sheds so much light on everything involving Christ and His life both before, here, and after.

My boiis!

We had interviews with the President at the mission home. President Stevenson is such a wonderful man. I'm so grateful he will be my Mission President for my whole mission. After and during those we received some instruction from the AP's on how we can better receive referrals. We got back to our area a little later than expected. Benjamin was our only lesson. The only thing holding him back is the fact that the Church has the Authority from God to baptize, once he realizes the actuality of that then he will feel comfortable with the church. So we are praying that that realization happens soon. In the evening the AP's called.... and I've been called to train! What?!?! That's crazy! I'm a little nervous but I think I can handle it. :)

for interviews!

Wednesday we only had one lesson.... It's really disappointing when all of your planned appointments and all of your back ups fall through, it feels like no one wants to hear our message. But we know that with continued hard work, the Lord will bless us. PEC didn't happen again.... surprised? Power has been off and on lately, and the fact that water is still not in the house makes life just peachy..... :) I did however teach Elder Nwatah to make Banana bread, it's a pretty big hit. ;)

Merry Christmas!

Transfer is approaching!!!! Gahh! I'm anxious to meet my son (trainee) and get to know him. Thursday is weekly planning, but it's kind of hard to plan for a week when you don't know if you'll be staying or getting transferred. It's possible that I'll be whitewashing an area, since Elder Ofordeme only has a transfer left, and President Stevenson doesn't like moving missionaries with one transfer.

Our last Sunday as a clan....

Lawrencia fed us rice with stew and the day before she fed us fufu with abenkwyn. She likes to feed us, which is always a nice change.

The biggest Mosque.....

Friday was a blast. The Hanlonds took me and Elder Bremwell to Accra because of our non-improving rashes. They spoiled us. They took us to a mall and got us a little steak burger and ice cream, some lovely apples for the car trip. The doctor diagnosed it as Eczema..... sure, why not. So I'll be trying another cream. Elder Hill (the area doctor) and his wife gave us more ice cream when we stopped by their place to give them the reports. We stopped at the temple and took some nice pictures. The day was just swell. :) we got back at 10:30.

My companions for the day!

First thing Saturday we taught Benjamin and his wife! What?!?! The first time since ever we finally met his wife. She's always out traveling or selling. So that lesson was a really nice change. :) Teaching aside from that was poor, but hopefully our efforts will blossom soon.

Transfer News!! I'm staying!!!!! Elder Ofordeme will be getting transferred to Kojokrum. It's going to be hard to see my father go. We have truly become really good friends and I will forever remember him.

Fast Sundays are always good. The fast makes the day quite meaningful. We spent most of our time visiting and saying goodbyes for Elder Ofordeme. Summer time practically came overnight. There is so much dust in the air that you can't see all that far. It's drier than dry, and hotter than hot in the day. But the nights almost get cold enough for a blanket, but not quite. ;)
