This is a mountain in Nkawkaw. There is a waterfall, prayer camp, and a paragliding launch on it. They keep telling us they will invite us over on Monday to go up but yeah nothing.

This is where they paraglide from

Well another week has finished for us. Lots of rain this week. Especially last night. I went to sleep with a window open to get a little breeze so that I wouldn't be too damp in the morning. Then about 1 o'clock last night I woke up to my feet being completely wet. I guess a hurricane sort of storm, that is how it was described this morning on the radio we could hear downstairs, came through. Best part was I think the lightning was literally striking on top of our roof because our entire room was getting bathed in light every time there was a strike. Which would make sense since we are pretty much the tallest building around besides some of the churches and we have a cell tower pretty close too. So in one of the branches we have just basically been thumping our heads against some walls but we kind of decided that we just had to keep working regardless.

This week sort of was a bit of a turn around. We were walking up a street when a guy in a shop called us over. His name is Dickson and he was prepared by missionaries to be baptized but his work made him travel and he missed it and basically the missionaries left and so he quit coming. He was super cool and just sort of needed that little bit of a boost. We'll see how it goes. That same day we went and taught a guy that wanted to know more about the church from his girlfriend who is a member. From him we were able to meet like 3 or 4 of his buddies who all are kind of interesting. It was just cool to see how things sort of blossomed a little bit after just feeling like what we were doing was pointless. Um this week had another investigator come out that he has had suicidal tendencies. Even has tried unsuccessfully twice to end his life. I don't what it is about me but I keep meeting a lot of people who have contemplated or attempted killing themselves. It makes me very thankful nothing in my life has ever made me want to go down that road.

Multi tasking. Driving fufu and having a coordination meeting on the phone. I'm the white one. The dark one is my companion.

Saturday we went to zone conference. On the way there and way back saw a lady, we think she is crazy, completely naked just causing trouble for people driving. Yeah it was interesting. Zone Conference was good. Pres. Smith bore his testimony about the Savior and it was powerful. Way good. Had some fufu that day that even my companion was having a hard time with. Fufu is usually about the consistency of bread dough. This stuff was like dried up playdough. UGH. Yeah plus they gave us some part of the animal that neither of us recognized and tasted pretty rough. We made it through it though. The guy I sat next to at church yesterday was wearing snakeskin pants. I want a pair. Only because they were awesome. No idea where he found that many snakes because I'm sure he did them himself.

Sunday I had a pretty rough day. To start off I had some trouble with a flu junk kind of stuff. Along with that I had to tell a guy who has been coming to church for about 10years he still can't be baptized. He is having a little drinking problem. At least we got invited to watch a part of conference at a member's house. So that was a little bit of a bonus. Other then that everything is pretty normal. Hope you are all having a good week!

Here is a house where a family we are teaching lives. Yeah, she is super nice. Her husband is a farmer. They have it pretty rough.

This is walking down the street to that house.

This is the back view of that same street
