The Crack Under Your Door Is A Little Too Big..... :)

[Collin will not be including any photos in this post or next, because he felt like it would be his luck that a virus might hit and nuke all of his photos on his memory card.  So we are including photos from the Mission President in this post.]

These lizards really can have
quite the interesting colors!
Monday was good. It was sprinkling in the morning which felt awesome. The ride to Cape was long as usual, but emailing was super fast. We did our shopping and came home. Cooked dinner and then went to FHE with the Bordohs. Then Elder Knecht gave me a haircut.

In the morning we went and benched at the Bordohs which felt super nice. District meeting was good. I instructed on commitments. We came back for lunch and ate waakye. It was way nice. We taught 2 new investigators, but both of them will need a translator.... so we'll try again. :)

So while in Takoradi we
were on an exchange with
the missionaries and were
about to turn the corner in
a neighborhood when
around the corner came...
Wednesday both Elder Knecht and Andreasen went to Takoradi to renew their citizenship cards, so I spent the day with Elder Seba. We had 3 great lessons. Agie was first, but her right leg was paining her so we gave her a blessing. I'm so grateful to be able to have the priesthood. The next one was Justina, I love teaching her. She's a wonderful young lady. Then we went and finished with Emmanuel and he'll get baptized next week. He's a super sweet kid.:)

and more of them....
Elder Knecht and I are the cooks of the house, so we spend a good amount of time in the kitchen making nice food. All of our people were busy so we went and helped Gladys at her shop and then she gave us Fufu! I love her. :) We finished the night by seeing Justina. She finally got an answer to her prayers and said that she wants to get baptized! The church is true! :)

and more!  We did not move
in the car as the horns
were very big and long!
Friday's food: cinnamon rolls and Alfredo with fried chicken. We eat well! :) We went to Kissi to do a baptismal interview for the Kissi Elders, they're doing great work out there.:) We came back and taught Justina and her brothers the rest of the Commandments. I love how engaged they are in the lessons and their desire to learn. From them we went and saw Agie and had a nice lesson on the Restoration. She's a delightful young lady, but she's leaving for school which is a bummer. We came home and rolled a fire cracker under the other Elders' door..... :) Someone fell out of their chair. :)

Hang on Little Goats!
Transportation of animals
comes in all different
ways here.
Benched at the Bordohs again. A man named Prince called us today and wanted to meet with us. We talked to his mom on Wednesday and he saw the pamphlet, so we met him and had a nice lesson with him. He'll make a great member some day. We taught Justina and the crew again plus one which was sweet. And then saw Agie and gave her some banana bread that I made. Taught lesson 2 and played with the neighboring children.

This big truck was
not going slow!
We thought for sure
one would slide off.
Sunday, I was hoping more people would have come to church. None of the people we planned on came to church. Prince came though! I was honestly surprised! The Durrants came and inspected our apartment and went on their way. Mary had us over for Fufu with Palmnut soup and then we went to Agie's and she gave us Fufu with Light soup. We were about to bust. We could barely finish it. We waddled over to Justina's and finished lesson 5. They didn't come to church though and so we'll have to push their baptisms back a week. :/ So I won't see them but I know for a fact that it'll happen. So it's all good. :)
