~~GENERAL CONFERENCE

This week was pretty much the same as last week and I have no time again….

Last week after picking up my son (my trainee) we couldn’t get a taxi and so the office worker, Mathew, had to drive us to circle (big market to get a tro tro).  We get to circle get all our bags out of the car and my son is now walking with his bags and its raining and some super crazy dude comes over and tries taking his bag from him to try and get some money from us for carrying his bag.  We were like no! So my son is wrestling with this dude for like 30 seconds and I’m like “Oh no!  He’s going to want to get back in the car and say take me home!”  But we get the bag away and walked to our tro tro very calmly after that experience.  The tro then took 5 hours (not really--only 3) but my point is--it was about 10:15 by the time we got in the apartment AND get this!  NO LIGHTS!  Power off! (power outage). What a warm welcome for my son.  But he was fine with it because he’s a baller.  So, the next 3 nights, again, lights off, lights off, lights off.  So for my sons first 3 nights in the field it was lights off! Such a baller.

This week:

On Tuesday we had 6 new investigators, all in one day!  What a day! On Wednesday we tried to find a new investigator in the BUSH! Remember, no addresses or street (dirt road) names.  I got good pictures of my comp but it took us 3 hours to find her!  We passed by her turn, which you can’t see and we didn’t know because we had no guide.  We were with the branch mission leader, who is hilarious!  (His conversion story is even funnier but that will be another time.)  We finally find her house after we walked a mile past it.  Someone was like, “Oh I know her, she’s just here--and we walk for a MILE again.  (Ghana people :)) We find her we have a sweet lesson and then we walk back to the main road.  We get there and I’m trying to put a marker up for the next time we come and the branch mission leader grabs a plastic bag and sticks his whole arm inside a bush and leaves it there.  I ask him “What are you doing?” He walks away and says "Don’t worry I have a sense of humor”  ??

The Mission is sweet the Book of Mormon is true--read it!!!!
