She said Yes!

I found my street!

Monday was my first normal P-day! It felt so nice to be able to get all of my washing and cleaning done and then have nothing to do. :)

We went to Takoradi and did our shopping and looked around for a bit. We emailed and then went back to our area where we ate at our favorite chop bar. :) We went to FHE with Elder Masendi to a member's house named Sarah. After that we went and saw Vida then worked our way home.

Tuesday was way productive! We went to District meeting and had a good discussion on teaching and then chopped afterward. After we went and saw Charity. She is such a sweet gal and is so sincere. She lives on her own and is way teachable. She responds very well to the message that we share. :)

Then we saw Sophia. We met her through a GC, and then went and taught Vida. In the evening we helped send Elder Kweku off on his mission. He's going to the Calabar Nigeria Mission.

Wednesday we had Zone Conference. President Stevenson spoke about how we can teach repentance. Phenomenal. :) Sister Stevenson gave a good motivational speech about fear and overcoming it. :) It was just a good, uplifting, and inspiring conference.

We were able to see Fausty afterward and have a good discussion with her, even though her English is a little rough. Then the Kojokrom Ward fed us fufu. But my companion was still full from earlier, so I ate it all on my own and felt sicker than 2 dogs..... Man so much food....

Thursday went well. We saw Comfort for the first time. She responded quite nicely to our message and wants us to continue to come. :) We also managed to catch Elizabeth and Helina in the house, so Doris helped us and we had a good lesson with them. :) Georgina and Vida also gave us time. :)

We went to PEC which was somehow productive.... Some ears are willing to listen, while others tend to be stubborn and don't care what you have to say.... Which can be frustrating. But the work still progresses and so we don't mind them. :)

Friday was pretty standard. Good studies and the such. People began falling through, so we decided to go and eat at our best chopbar. It's always nice to get out of the sun for a bit and fill your stomach with good food. :)

We went and saw Charity and used Mami Ya to help teach her. We extended an invitation for baptism and she accepted! She is super excited and so are we! When she said yes I nearly exploded from my chair due to excitement. :)

Saturday felt like 2 different days. In the morning we went and helped Sister Comfort weed a good section of her plot. She fed us Banku and stew. Soooo nice. :) She's such a sweet lady.

We went home, showered and did our preparations for the day. Then went out for the day in the afternoon -- which felt like another day entirely. David came with us to help translate for Sister Fausty which was a huge help. After we tried to see some others but none were home, so we walked home slowly talking with everyone. :)

Sunday there was a broadcast sent to all of the stakes in the Africa West Area. A few of the general authorities addressed some of the local issues such as bride price (where the groom pays a massive sum to the bride's parents. Sometimes so massive that he won't be able to ever pay it..... Keeping them from getting married...) encouraging members to do away with that tradition of their fathers. After we cruised around members' homes, seeing if they need help and sharing messages with them. Charity was our only lesson, but it was a super good lesson. :) It started raining on us though, so we had to move inside. When it stopped it was time to head home, so we meandered our way home.
