Hey Everyone! April 15, 2013
So Oda is going well. Mom I'll try to try those recipies sometime but I don't know if I'll be able to. Elder Mann cooks a lot for us, he wants to open a resturant when he get home so he's a good cook. I told him he has to teach me over the next 12 weeks. I had Fufu this week. It tasted good. The best part was the little piece of beef that came with it! I loved it, I never knew I would miss beef so much. You can get it here but its expensive and in cans. They have 'sausages' here. I also found baked beans at the filling station. BEANIE WIENES!! I'm excited for that. I have to save up my money from the month for it though. We ice cream here sometimes. For lunch one day we did the "Challenge." You and your companion buy a tub of ice cream and cookies and eat the whole thing. So we have ice cream and cookies for lunch. It was awesome.
We had my first Zone Meeting on Tuesday. We rode in a tro tro for an hour to get to Kade and met with the zone. It was good. The Senior missionaries brought chocolate cake for us. SO GOOD. We got some good pictures, I hope to send some home soon. It was fun to travel up there. After we road back with them because we were working on our well pump. It’s the tail end of the dry season so the well is VERY low. We went without power for 2 days so we couldn't pump and then the last couple days it’s been too low to pump. We have a 660 gallon water tank that we were living off that dried up so last night got to draw water from a well for the first time! It's harder than it looks but it was super fun. I experienced my first bucket showers. I felt amazing after the shower! We're hoping and praying for rain soon so we can have more water.
They work is going really well. My companion and I made a different strategy to be better so we've been finding more people to build up our pool of investigators. The other Elders had a baptism on Saturday and things were kind of hectic. They were supposed to fill the font on Friday but it was lights out so they couldn't pump it so they went Saturday morning to pump it.
We're teaching a guy named Francis. He's one the few that we started teaching with me here. I love that guy. He came to church on his own right before I got here so I was there for his first lesson. He is SO faithful. He understands everything and prays about everything and knows the church is true. He’s going to be baptized in 2 weeks. I will always remember giving the Book of Mormon. His eyes lit up and he got so excited about it. We read from it some and then when we were leaving he was giving it back to me because he didn't know he got to keep it. I told him it was his and he was so happy. He just hugged to his chest and was so happy.
What else about Ghana? It’s super different here. We do a lot of walking and meeting people. The Twi is different but I'm not super worried about it. We're trying to get the members more involved in teaching people who speak it which is good.
I love you guys, I hope all is well.
