Hey all!

Is it May already?? How did that happen? Hannah what you said is so true. The days do feel like weeks and the weeks do feel like days. Except for last week the days felt like weeks and the week felt like a month. It was a LONG week. This week is going to be even longer.

Elder John and I worked like crazy last week. I went on splits with Elder Ditzler on Friday.  We did a lot of walking, like lots of miles on Friday haha.  We have 17 new investigators this week from finding and we got 7 referrals we have to contact next week. 2 of our new investigators surprised us and came to church on Sunday. It was so good.  They had the sacrament then announced they were going to watch the Sunday morning conference session. I was super excited to be able to watch it. It came on and I saw the SLC Temple and got a little homesick but then they started talking...... in Twi. We held an impromptu investigators class that went really well.  We went to the Branch President's house that evening like we do every week for dinner and we were able to watch the session in English.

This week is going to be super busy because we have to contact all those people and we lose Tuesday because we are traveling to Kade for Zone Training again. I guess it happens every month. We also have a baptism service Saturday morning. It's going to be busy but that’s good, the work is going forward.

Hannah! How is life back as a normal person?   I hope you have a great time, try not to sleep in too much. 6:30 is a good time to get up. Some mornings I just want to sleep in. Anyway, I hope you’re enjoying. What's next? And don't say getting married because if you get married while I'm gone I’ll be mad.

I heard about Coleson getting his call to Sierra Leon. That's crazy!  He's going to the Ghana MTC too which is sweet. I heard that Cardston got his call to Accra too. That’s nuts!

I'm now almost half way through my training, its going well. Hannah how long was your training, mine is 12 weeks but we are only in the MTC for 2 weeks. The training is going well. I still have some language issues. I can understand their accents pretty well but they can't understand mine.  Something I am trying to work on, I don't know how to make that any better.

My favorite food here is red red. It’s just refried beans with red oil and fried plantains. It’s SO good. I also really like watchi. That’s bean with rice and some spices and stuff. They are both good. As for the flan you guys had we by custard powder here and I really like it. It’s pretty much just pudding so I guess l like pudding now??  I just like sugar.  

Anyway, Ghana is awesome I love it here and I love the work. I do my best to be the best missionary I can be. I am becoming much better but I still have a long way to go. I love you all so much.

Love,

Elder Clark
