Our early Christmas Dinner
at Atlantic :) |
Monday was way nice. We played sports at Takoradi again. But this time Elder Bay brought a brand new Ultimate Frisbee disc that he got for Christmas. It was so much fun. :) The disc went where I wanted it to go. Wizardry. :)
After we emailed and then showered at the Takoradi Chapel Hill apartment and then went to the Atlantic hotel to have our Christmas dinner. :) I stuffed myself on super good meat and fruit. :)

Tuesday we had a lesson with Janet, she's a new investigator. Hopefully we'll be able to help her progress. After teaching her, we rushed back to the church to help the other Elders bail water out of the poly tanks into the font. We found some big mopping buckets (like the one in the picture) which made the work go a lot faster. :) We finished with a little bit of time before it was time to start. Then we changed out of our wet clothes and prepped the room for the baptism. It went really well. :)
All day Wednesday we were getting bounced..... straight up nothing happened. No one gave us time and even finding was rough. Not all days are equal.

Thursday was a lot of fun though. Our zone went to the mission home for the annual Christmas Devotional. President talked about the temple again. Most of the stuff I knew but there were a few new snip-its that stuck out to me that I enjoyed. :) Reenacted the Nativity, had a wonderful lunch, they gave us each a huge whole Tilapia. It tasted so nice, and then we watched a Christmas Carol and then gave us Ice cream and brownies. Delicacies. :) When they finished and the time it took to drive home, it was too late to do anything, so we worked our way home from the chapel.

We finally got our December Liahonas! I love church magazines. :) We saw Lucy in the morning, and she was the only one. Everyone else was busy, including Charity. She finally came back from Assin Fosu and always gives us time, but she was way too busy today. Jennifer and Ophelia (members) invited us over to their place though for some celebration (I have no idea what for) and they gave us some massive FuFu.... like Quantum massive..... I wanted to die, and then at the end they gave us rice! But thankfully they let us take that home. :) In the evening the ward was having carols night. Lots of different members and youth performed various things, some good and others a little less good. ;) But we still love all of them. :)

| Merry Christmas! |
Saturday was a repeat of last year. It seems that every year in Ghana just before Christmas I have to have an allergy attack. We were eating at a chop bar that we always eat at, but this time my stomach started hurting after we finished.... So we went to the chapel and I spent some time with the toilet, but nothing came up... Shoot. Went home and my hives started creeping in. Breathing got pretty difficult. I was set on not going to the hospital, forget the hospitals here. So I pulled out my Epi-Pen and experienced it for the first time in my life. It hurt a lot less than I thought it would, but it still freaking hurt. And that did the trick. :)

Merry Christmas! The day was way good. We picked Millicent's laptop and then went to the one hour of church. After church we were able to sit in the high councilors' room with A/C and Skype home. Elder Williams went from 11-1 and I went from 1-3. It worked perfectly well and it was so nice and refreshing to see and hear from my family. :)

Jennifer and Ophelia invited us over again and they gave us a generous portion of rice. It tasted great and we enjoyed their company. We went to the Asares and then meandered home. It was a super good day. :)
