Monday, we got everything done fast and got out at a good time. But we got a terrible tro! Back seat, windows are sealed, 15 people in the car.... Sooooo hot. Man, I was dying. Cape was normal and good. We came home and went out and had a nice lesson with Mami Esi because we had Ebeneezer. He's such a good kid.

District meeting was good. We had a nice discussion on finding new investigators. After, we tried to see plenty of people. We started with Felicia and then went and saw 2 women named Hannah and Gladys. Went and taught Albert and then went to Mami Esi because she wanted us to come over for fufu. Elder Andreasen got called to train.... I had a flood of mixed emotions. I'm so stoked that he's training, but I wanted to stay in Komenda so bad. I was so depressed....

Albert and Jane :) |
Wednesday I had gotten in under wraps small. We had a good day. I started saying my goodbyes (hence all the pictures of people). Ebeneezer helped us teach Elizabeth and Joseph and Mami Ama, then we went to PEC and after taught Ernest. We finished the night with a great group: Justina and her friend, Mary. Justina is the more serious one. But we had a wonderful lesson with them and a few others, and it was awesome.

15 weeks was not long enough |
Thursday we started the day by seeing Elizabeth and that crew. I love all of the children there. Had a great lesson with Stephanie and then had a nice one with Albert and his family. :) We taught Justina again. Her understanding is wonderful, plus she translates everything we say to all of the Fante speakers there.

Elder Andreasen went to the mission home for his trainers' meeting, so I was with Elder Knecht for the day. And Elder Manyayi had gone to Kissi on exchange, so we also had Elder Pelly-Kally. Super sweet day. We went and bounced a bit and then taught one of their guys named Patrick. He's super prepared for the gospel. Gladys made us a super nice light soup. Man it was delicious. When Elder Andreasen got back, we went and taught Justina again. :)

Saturday morning we all went farming for one of their investigators. The weeding was super easy because it was raining. Loved it. We went home and got cleaned up, but then we came back to eat fufu with light soup. :) Had a nice lesson with Kojo and Felicia. Tried to see others but only got to see Justina. Elder Young called.... (the AP) and told me I was being called as a District Leader and he told me that I would be the DL of Komenda!!! What the freak?! I get to stay in Komenda! :) I lose all my investigators but I still get to see them. :) I'm soo soo soo soo happy. :)

Primary Children! |
Sunday was 2 years to the day that I touched down on Ghanaian soil for the first time. Time flies. We picked Felicia for church. We had 7 investigators come to church! We've averaged like 1 or Zero. 7! :) President and Sister Hillam (new Mission President and his wife) came to church too. Mary Asma gave us fufu with palmnut soup. That soup was soooo nice. Took a half-hour nap and continued. We taught Justina and then Elizabeth and that crew. At both places I put a little girl to sleep. :) I'm just that soothing. ;) This week started rough, but I loved how it turned out! :)
Photos from the Mission President:
Today was a wonderful day in the Ghana Cape Coast Mission - never to be forgotten. Elder and Sister Renlund visited the mission. Elder Renlund is one of the 12 apostles. He and his wife along with Elder Vinson, Africa West Area President and his wife Sister Vinson instructed us and bore testimony to this great work we are engaged in. As we arrived at the church the assistants had organized the entire mission for this picture.
Words cannot begin to express what it was like to walk around the corner and see all of our missionaries gathered together! We love them all.
