hey family!
so this week was good. it was
probably the fastest week of my mission. so fast. i cant believe its monday
again. this next week will go even faster. we are going to kumasi again for
leadership council. also, i withdrew some money for ties. i ordered some from
the member who makes them. ill get them this week and send some pics. i got
ten. and still have money left over for some things maybe in kumasi. this week
was awesome though.
Thanksgiving Feast: fried rice, packaged tuna, mashed potatoes & treats!
Thanksgiving Dinner (I'm in front of the window, my comp to the left)
we got to teach a lot. we were able to meet with a lot of really cool people. some of which
we really feel are prepared to receive the gospel. of course the gospel is for
everyone, but some people just accept it and act on it so quickly. some of the
lessons went relly well. especially with a lady named kate. and some didnt go
so well. sometimes the people of ghana just want to talk about where you are
from. what you're doing. if you're going to marry. if so, would you ever marry
a ghanaian. haha stuff like that. i love it though. i thought about home a lot
this week. not in a bad way. just that i would be coming home sometime kinda
soon. i cant believe my mission will be over. mission sometimes feels like it
will be forever. i am not done learning yet!
This is the coolest security guard in the world. He goes by stone boy.
one thing that was especially cool. i realized a
lot about the atonement. about how Jesus Christ was the only one who could go
through that experience. it was already something i knew. i just more
internalized it. i was reading about how he inherited mortality from his mother
and immortality from heavenly father. he had power to give up his life. no
normal person could do this. just really cool. i also realized, i'll have no
time for video games and things like that when i get back. there are so many
things i want to do. ive really thought a lot this week about life. i love it.
its so short. it feels so long sometimes though. i just want to be a better
person. its seriously hard to change some habits though.
the pics you sent were awesome! kenna got
married! crazy. haha its cool though. i am excited to get home and date. itll
be so fun. i cant believe christmas is almost here! december starts tomorrow!
we are hoping to skype. i really hope we can. we asked again if we could skype
at this certain cafe and they said they have working cameras and mikes. so we
hope itll work well. anyway. i dont really have a ton to say this week. it was
good though! i hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving. i love you all so much!
