Yeah my trainer is a great guy. He is about half a inch shorter then me. Living in the mission home is more permanent I think. I'm not really sure they haven't told us. The Accra temple is bigger than the Snowflake temple, and so are the grounds but still smaller than mesa's. That is sad to hear about Aunt Illene. This week will be really busy. Tomorrow we have the Mission Christmas Conference, then on Christmas day one of the seventies has invited every missionary in the Accra region to come to his house for a big party. Then we have our ward party we are taking investigators to. Then we have a baptism on Saturday since we couldn't baptize this lady on Sunday because the font didn't have any water. We'll see how it all goes. Oh and Accra is a very modern city. I am on a bike which makes traveling nice and easy since it is a lot faster then walking. I'm still getting use to the food since it is so spicy and different but hopefully it won't be too bad in a little bit. The people have a hard time understanding my english but I can mostly understand them. We'll see if you guys notice a difference.
I love how blunt kids are. It has helped alot during lessons I have taught. Since they just spit it out it helps their parents to grasp the whole understanding. The mission home is nice. We have ac and an oven which no one else does. I like that. Lots of stuff we are famaliar with. Being in the city isn't much different then being anywhere in America besides the food, language and yes some traditions. Don't wave or anything with your left hand. I learned the hard way. I guess it has some bad meaning here. Oh and yes everything comes in a plastic OR paper bag. I am really liking it though. Even though I'm sweating like crazy when we ride our bikes.
