Hey everybody, what’s up?

    (A monkey he wanted to pet but was told it would "rip his face off" so he kept his distance, ha)

This week was awesome.  We worked our selves almost to death.  We didn't have to go on any exchanges or any meetings so we had a full week of proselyting other than Zone Training.  We got some work done which was really good.  We needed a good week’s worth of work in our area.  It was awesome.  I love my companion.  I don't know if I have ever told you guys about him but he is sweet.  We do some great work.

First up was a story from last night.  So we were sleeping, I didn't get to bed until midnight because I was reporting to the APs for the week, and it was probably around 3 or 4 and some woman out in the street started going crazy.  I was pretty out of it and I can't remember but she was really, really loud.  It was pretty crazy.  Ghanaians’ love waking up in the wee hours of the morning to "pray" by going out on the roads.  

So last week we were contacting this one house and my companion was talking somebody and I was just kind of playing with the kids and I started spinning around one kid.  Around and around he went for probably about 2 minutes.  Finally we stopped and I let him go and he took one step and BOOM!  He fell.  Man it was so, so funny.  I was on the ground right next to him laughing my head off.  It was so funny.  Every time I think about it I start laughing.

So we have this one really cool progressing investigator we are supposed to baptize this month.  We met her through a less active.  Anyway, this week she got thrown out of her house this week so that really stinks.  We are really hoping that she can find a place to stay.  Hope and pray.

The Zone training went really really well.  It was super spiritual.  It's different from a Zone Conference because those always have more than 1 zone but President Hill did come to the meeting on Tuesday.  It went really, really well.  I was really stressed about it Monday night but it turned out pretty well.  Now we just have to see if it did anything to make a difference.  

I hope you all got the picture from Mom of the USA Bug.  I love that car with all my heart!!!  We found that on Sunday just out in the Zongo (Muslim area) and we were looking at it and the owner walked up to us and told me I should get in.  Then he offered to sell it to me for 4000 cedis.  I'm really tempted; I fell in love with that car.  I sat in it and it just felt so right.  That car chose me... (Only Tim!!!)

Anyway the zone is doing well and the work is going even better.  We are trying to plan a zone activity in 2 weeks.  

Lastly we have started something here we call "The Joy Movement."  It started with us just ridiculously waving at people with both hands and now it has evolved into a way of contacting and "spreading the Joy."  We always greet people by waving both hands.  Shaking hands is a thing of the past; we now do double high fives.  We laugh and smile more than ever before all in an effort to "Spread the Joy."  It's gonna become a big thing someday.  We're going to make shirts and everything.  It makes everything better and it is revolutionizing the world.  Now, everyone is smiling.  Now, everyone is happy.  

Love you all!!!
