Well all I have to say is BOOOOOO to the World Cup. Though hey U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A.! Yeah so the World Cup is a bummer here. Mostly because all we do is walk around and usually only run into people who either don't speak English or don't like football. If they don't speak English we aren't allowed to teach them. We haven't met anyone that doesn't like Football yet. Besides a Jehovah's Witness who basically looked like she wanted to curse us for bothering her while washing. Sunday was pretty rough with Ghana having a game. Especially since about 2 mins. after Ghana won they told us to go to our apartments. I hope it isn't like that for every game. It'll be a long month if it is. Besides that this week went fairly well.

Guess how many bananas I had in my mouth.


This week we had couple missionaries come and do some abortion interviews for us. They are the Terry's from Las Vegas. Sister Terry gave me a chocolate chip cookie. It was heavenly. One of our investigators dashed us some bananas and avocados. That was awesome, until I realized I had eaten nearly half of them by myself. Saturday our baptism went really good. It was a new experience since it was kind of drizzling rain and the baptismal font is outside. I was glad that I didn't have to get in the water though. A member did the baptisms. Sunday we went to the farthest branch because they had branch conference. They told us it started at 10. We show up maybe 10-15 mins. early and they have been going for nearly a hour. They changed it so that they would be finished in time for the game. I didn't actually go to any of the classes. I was with the clerks teaching them how to use the new computer they got. It was fun mostly because when I'd do simple things, like adding a table in microsoft word, I'd get oooo's and awwww's.


Our baptism on Saturday. There are two different families. The women and the children. Then the man is just an older guy who we are still working on his family.

So about two weeks ago I noticed a lizard had jumped into our garbage can. I didn't really want to try and rumble around in the rubbage for him so I left him. Last night found out we still have our pet lizard. The garbage is high enough that he could get out but just doesn't. I think he likes the free meals he gets from our trash. I am thinking I'm going to name him if he sticks around much along. Well there is my week in a nutshell. Have a great one!

This is the wall of a member's house. To my back is a little ravine that falls pretty much straight down to wear they fetch their water in a little creek pretty much.

Just messing around waiting for our investigator is get to his house. He said 5 mins which turned into 25. I was going to get a coconut but they weren't ready.
