I ate a snail!

It was gross, but I’m on a mission so I had to eat it all. They took it out of the shell and placed it in a soup.  It wasn’t terrible.  It kind of tasted like the sidewalk after its been rained on..... also, I ate a goat’s small and large intestine. (actually, I can’t prove that, but it looked like a piece of it and was a bit harder to chew through than normal) I’m excited for the day I get to go home and be a picky eater again! But Ghana is wonderful!
Other than that, I don’t remember what we did.  There was the celebration for the 40th anniversary of the revelation on the priesthood.  We watched how the church had grown in West Africa to 100 stakes in 40 years and 75 of them within the last 10 years. Truly a stone cut without hands till it engulfs the whole world. 

The church is true.  It can be hard to remember sometimes but it is Jesus Christ’s church.  He established it and he leads it.  He is the Christ.  

Other than that, not much exciting happened.  I got transferred to Wejia.  It’s in Accra, next to the only mall in the mission…okay one of 2, but still!  Call me a scared boy because that’s too much white people.  I can’t be around white people.  I fear them.  It’s weird, but not really. I get uncomfortable in places that are nicer.  I don’t know but yea that’s my news.  More about it next week I guess

love you all be happy

I CHOPPED A FLIGGIN TREE DOWN!

Don’t worry that’s the Ghanaian way to say friggan, because r's are l's and l's are r's.   It’s really funny.   Like let’s fly some fish instead of fry.  Its good.  Ghana’s good:)

I had another story but I forgot.  So, yea, sorry.  

We did Missionary stuff.  In fact, we did a lot because that’s why I’m here.  Haha.  We will be creating a group out in a place called Apam which will be a wonderful help to the members there as its about 30 minutes away from the chapel and a 3-cedi tro ride per person.  So, let’s hope the church grows there :) 

There are a lot of old members here in Winneba.  Like when the church came to Ghana, Winneba was one of the first places to receive the gospel so we have a lot of pioneer stories (I don’t know how to spell that word so I could never use the church Wi-Fi :( ).  It’s so fun to listen to the stories of these people proclaiming the gospel and establishing the church here in Ghana.  It’s pretty sweet:)

ALSO, I went on an exchange and I forgot my trousers! I had to borrow a pair from one of the Elders and it’s funny because he’s shorter, but they still fit me like my gray trousers did back home.  Not very well :) but I was able to go out and do my job :)

All is well here :)
