This week we met a really cool guy.  We were out one night and doing some finding because our appointments fell through. We passed by this one guy standing by and I felt prompted to contact him. Turns out his mother had been taught by missionaries before but nothing came from it. Anyway the guy is really cool and really interested. He had 2 follow up lessons that week and accepted to be baptized in July. He came to Church on Sunday and really seemed to enjoy it. I have pretty high hopes for him.
 
Another high point for the week was our district council meeting. It was a great meeting about weekly planning and how important it is. It was actually pretty spiritual. Really cool.
 
Another cool thing this week was one lesson was had with a Muslim guy we contacted. He doesn't want to learn a lot about the church but he taught me so much about Muslims. So many people have no idea what they teach.  The core beliefs are actually very similar to ours; just that Muhammad said that he is the last messenger from God. That's a little important. Funny how Satan will take something so incredibly close to the truth and get so many people to follow after him. At any rate we have a return appointment and we gave him a Book of Mormon and he gave us a Qur'an.
 
Small status update. I got us some district ties made for some unity and bought way too much fabric so I got some "Knickers," made. They are some sick shorts. Love them to death. Very colorful. No pictures though, sorry.
 
The district was expanded this week too. Friday while I was one exchanges with another Idaho boy, I got a call from President telling me they are bringing 2 more missionaries to the district and ward. So now my apartment of 2 is 4. I really like it and am really excited.  An Elder from Idaho came here along with a ward missionary. It’s pretty cool. Hopefully we can do some really good work and be effective.
 
We did contact one guy. He was really cool for the lesson. He saw us and called us over and we taught him there at his house. He had a lot of questions about repentance and we had a really nice spiritual lesson. He doesn't have time for us to meet him again though.
 
This week marked a radical shift in my mission. We were reading from the white handbook and we read that we aren't supposed to teach women without another man present. Oops. In our mission probably about 75% of investigators are women. So we had a big change in proselyting and dropped some people and started doing thing different but we were doing finding and I got a little frustrated with the area so we just started going out to another part of the area we have never been to before and it was sweet. Lots of cool, cool people and families. I'm so excited to contact like crazy out there this week.
 
Upside, one of the new Elders brought with him a ping pong set that goes on the table. We were playing for a while today. I'm getting a little better; hopefully I can become a ping pong champ someday.
 
Got my ties finally. They are really cool. I was actually able to contact people with my Ghana ties because people would see me wearing them and stop me and ask me where I got it. "Oh by the way I teach people about Jesus Christ..." Just gotta create the concern and people will come to us!
 
Yep really just trying to focus on working hard and trying to teach with the spirit more. That's something we can always do better at, but we are working hard. Love you all!
 
Love,
