Feb 20, 2017 Wa is Opening This past week we went to and from Kumasi and it was really, really neat. It was about a seven hour journey on the nicest Charter bus I’ve ever been on before. Big news in the mission! Wa (a town in Northwestern Ghana) just had their first Sacrament meetingContinue reading “Who Knew You Could Miss Cereal So Much”

2017
January 2017 My Testimony Has Been Strengthened Last week was awesome! Two people were baptized on Saturday and confirmed on Sunday. One of them was in our area and the other was in my old area, so both were technically mine, if you count it that way. But it was truly awesome! I loved itContinue reading “2017”

General Conference Week

I also got to watchContinue reading “General Conference Week”

We had a service project where I got another cutlass and startedContinue reading “Service with a Smile and a Cutlass”

Of Mice and Men, Chicken, and the Pope
Happy Thanksgiving Everybody! Of Mice and Men….. So a few interesting things happened this week! The first is that we have had traces of mice in the apartment.

The funny part is that when my companion, Elder Anderson, told me about it, I thoughtContinue reading “Of Mice and Men, Chicken, and the Pope”
I Made It! My First Time Flying Experience!
I made it safe and sound, but there were some bumps along the way. There was an hour delay in Atlanta and I and 3 other missionaries had to run to get to the next gate which we had to wait for a shuttle bus to get to. After getting off the aircraft in Atlanta, IContinue reading “I Made It! My First Time Flying Experience!”
