March 10!

This week has been sweet and a lot happened somehow.

President Shulz has been giving us a lot of work to do with the group. We are  teaching a temple prep class and getting everyone ready. The temple trip will hopefully happen next month. We have been told that we need too get all worthy men ready for the Melchizedek priesthood and all the worthy woman endowed so they can continue to progress. It's a lot of work but its been going okay. We also have to get all of their records and sort out all of the less actives in the village. But we've been getting a lot of help from those members who are powerful!  

Michael has been doing great with his drinking problem and has not had anything to drink for two weeks know! Plus it rained... a lot. So as a farmer he was very happy and is still coming to church every Sunday! 

Speaking of which, One of the counselors from Aburah Krampa came to speak and visit this Sunday and it was powerful! He use to be a pastor for the Methodist church but then came to find The Latter Day Saint Church. 

My camera got here! So I was able to take some pictures of the storm and me next to some cows. 

We had to dodge through the rain to see everyone we could one day, and a mother in the group fed us cause all the shops were closed. For some reason, people feel like when they feed missionaries, it's the one time they get to eat for the next few days. Or maybe the more they try to make us eat the more blessings they will get! Anyways the rest of the day was not easy, she fed us a lot of rice and groundnut soup! With some meat! I didnt know what it was.. I didnt ask.

We also planted some plantain trees for an investigator. Theres no shovels so you have to use a machete the whole time. It was fun.. she's so sweet and is always smiling when we come to see her! But she doesnt speak english and my fante is bad.. so one one we can talk.

I discovered a show called Nigerian Idol while visiting a member. Look it up on you tube or something and find out for yourself!

My companion and I are enjoying! Tranfers are coming next week so I dont know what will happen.

I woke up with a bump on my face this morning too. I hope its a bite cause it's not an infection.. I think.

Love you! Hope all is well.
