Cabin Fever

[Since Collin didn't have any photos to send us this week, the photos for this post were borrowed from the Mission President's blog.]

I am so sick of the house. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired! But really though, being a missionary and not being able to proselyte is essentially being a convict with no privileges.... Anywho, my week wasn't too much of a thriller.

Monday was actually pretty grand. We get to pull 400 cedis now for our subsistence which means that for the next few months we'll get to enjoy while the cedi depreciates and equalizes our subsistence. We went to the hospital and then emailed after. After emailing we did our shopping and then traveled back to the house. Dressed down and then made my chowder again (only this time much much bigger) and had a light dinner. Later Elder Machaka and I gymed pretty hard. It always feels so so nice to make your muscles strain after laying around the house all day every day.

Tuesday we had District meeting at the Asebu chapel. I love our chapel. :) Elder Connelly gave a wonderful instruction on how the Bible and Book of Mormon are like our eyes. We can only have clear good depth perception and vision if we use both eyes and if the eyes are good. Only using one eye will finish our depth, and if the Bible isn't translated correctly then it's a partially blind eye which is barely good. I loved it so much. :)

Simon finally got his car fixed, so he'll be able to start taking us to and from the hospital again. The visit was under 30 minutes which was a record for a Ghanaian hospital.

Thursday, Happy Birthday Emma! You'll be 5 before I know it! It was a normal day. Cooked, washed, played cards, studied, repeat.... Elder Masame came over for exchanges though. He's a super chill kid from Sydney. I like him a lot. :)

Friday I finally had a decent day. We did our morning routine and then went into the area. It was so nice to get some fresh air and share the gospel small, only for 2 hours because that's all my foot could manage.

Bright is such a wonderful kid. He's so enthusiastic about the work that it's just a dream to work with him. The skies opened up and the rainy season began. We got home soaked... It's always nice to get beat by the rain every now and then. ;)

The only exciting things to my day are studies and hospital visits.... and you can imagine how much of a thrill that must be. I'm such a frequent customer that at times, they don't even have me check in. They have my file on hand and so they just wave me on to the back to get it re-dressed. Benefits! :)

Sunday was nice. Began the day with the Liahona and then listened to a fast and testimony meeting in Fante, the only English was my own. :) I had the wonderful opportunity of ordaining Bright to the office of Priest and giving him the Priesthood! He is such a good kid and has a powerful powerful testimony of our Savior Jesus Christ. He will bless so many.

Once again the skies opened up, but this time we made it inside before it crashed down, however we have 3 inch gaps under our doors so the water made it in anyway. Our kitchen was flooded, but thankfully our rooms are a few inches higher than the kitchen floor, so most of the house stayed dry. :)

My foot just needs to heal! But all will be well. :)
