Hey everyone,                                                                                              June 17, 2013

First off: Happy Father's Day

Hmm, what is new in Ghana? Well we have these goats that love to come and run into our compound.  This week Elder M. hit his one year mark so he made a ton of food. We had boiled egg, fried chicken, fufu with soup, and Jal-of-rice.  I LOVE jal-of-rice.  It may be my favorite food in Ghana. Oh we also found a place that sells chocolate cake! So he bought 4 cakes a little smaller them Mom's meatloaf tins. It was SO good. I love chocolate but I paid for it.  You can't suddenly go back to that much sugar. Anyway jal of rice is super good and it’s something I'll be able to make in the US with what we have there.  It’s basically rice cooked in a tomato stew.  It's really good.

This week was very good. We rode in a tro tro for an hour Sunday morning to get to Asamankese for District Conference.  We had 5 investigators come to Asamankese for church!!!  It was awesome! 2 of them are getting baptized this week. They're really good guys. I can't wait for them to get baptized!!

 

Tuesday was zone training so we also went to Kade this week. We had 24 hour splits with the zone leaders too so my companion went to their apartment in Asamankese.  It was super fun.   

Speaking of water, this week the water pump in the well broke. So we didn't have water for most of the week. A week of showering from a bucket.  The worst was cooking, we didn't have water to cook with so we would have to go and buy water and carry it back to the apartment.  It was a fun adventure.

Love,

Elder Clark
