Welp, there goes another week! It’s crazy how you can just put your head down to the work and then its Sunday again.  Crazy how time goes by so fast! Well, we had another exciting week in Ghana.

Best contact of the week was an old woman. She was stilling there pounding palm nuts (they use a mortar and pistol to pound these nuts to get the oil from them) we walked up and started talking to her. She is 80 years old and told us she wasn't interested in the church because she's "waiting for God to take her." Yikes, waiting for God to take you?  

Another interesting memory, a few weeks ago we had our primary program. It was very sweet. My favorite part was when one boy gave his little talk  and ended it with "Long live the church, Long live Primary!" while shouting into a microphone.  It was great.

This week we were teaching a great guy. The missionaries were teaching him before we came so we just continued. He knows the church is true and read the Book of Mormon and everything. He's even introducing us to his friends to teach them. The only problem is he won't come to church. I don't know why. Anyway we were teaching him this week and I've been having some allergies, I wish I brought some medicine for that, I found some this week. I took 2 in the morning and I guess I had a little reaction or something because when we were teaching him I started rocking back and forth and my eyes were dilated and I couldn't read my scriptures and I couldn't really see. My eyes started drooping and my companion said I really started slurring my words and everything. He said he thought I was having a stroke. Weirdest feeling ever!  I just start praying to let it stop because I do most of the talking in our companionship and just like that, instantly it went away.  I was so grateful.

And that's about it for this week.  I love you all.

Have a fantastic week!

Love,
Elder Clark
