Finally a Change!

1 year celebration
for Elder Connelly

Monday was nice and quaint. We all did our washing in the morning, but due to the rain, the humidity is killer, which means that it takes ages and a half for things to dry. Did our usual shopping and emailing, and then came home and took a nap. Later, Elder Machaka and I gymed our chests. I love working out.

Zone Conference

Tuesday was a super eventful day, considering the immediate past. We had Zone Conference in Ola. We thought we were going to be late, and we were actually the first ones there! What a pleasant surprise! We received wonderful insights on Accountability, Goal Setting, and Planning, plus lunch was just dandy.

We did a small photo shoot after and then got dropped off at the station. Got home right before it rained, score. :) Got spanked by 80 cedis while prepping dinner...... eish, some people.

 

Wednesday the power was out pretty much all day. Simon took us to DIS. It was speedy as usual and they did a good job. It's healing ever so slowly. We had nothing to do when we got home until the other guys got back. Elder Machaka and I gymed some more.

 

Elders Connelly and Machaka invited us to help them farm at an investigator's house that lives just up the hill. So we went and had a good time. It was so nice to get out and smell the green. It rained during the night so everything was just nice and earthy and wonderful. Power was out again..... shocker. Elder Makoti came (my Zone Leader) for exchanges with Elder Machaka. Due to the rain and power being out we couldn't do much.

 

Friday we did the usual morning hospital routine. But this time, on our way to the road the skies just dumped on us, being a gimp and not being able to move at a desired speed can be frustrating. So my companion made it to shelter just damp, I hobbled in soaked completely through. Woooo.....

 

We chilled under the shelter until the rain died down small and then snagged a cab. On the way back to the house the rains came again! I don't know how I feel about God's sense of humor.... ;)

 

Saturday I washed small and then baked cakes all day in prepping for the party. Elder Connelly hits his year mark on Sunday, so we decided to have the party on Saturday. It was nice and simple. We played cards and visited for a good amount of time.

 

I love Sundays. The only thing I get is the Sacrament prayer, plus a word or phrase here and there, but I love it all the same. The Sacrament is the best part anyway. Got home and listened to some nice instrumental music and read the Liahona. I am so grateful for the words and insights that we can read from our leaders and fellow members around the world.

Waiting for a Cab

Lately I've been reading from the New Testament in Acts. I have come to love the Bible. It contains wonderful life and gospel lessons that everyone can learn from. Power went out and it rained all day. That seems like the standard conditions now a days. :)
