May 22, 2017 My week was good. We thought that we would have a whole week to spend in our area, but we had things come up. A companionship wasn’t getting along at all so we helped them out on Tuesday. Then we had to escort a companionship to the hospital, so even less timeContinueContinue reading “Baptism, Double Cheeseburgers, and Effiduase”

My True Self
May 15, 2017 This Week To give you a quick update on what happened this week… we went to Bolga and it was really incredible. I love going there and seeing the pigs and the people; the people there are so, so kind. It was wonderful. And the Mother’s Day phone call was wonderful. I’mContinueContinue reading “My True Self”
Tradition
May 8, 2017 Short on Time Sorry I can’t give you a full accounting of the week because of time. I have 30 minutes less to email today. But I will say…crocs for last week. And this week? We roasted a pig as a zone. Yup, I’m doing stuff. (Tell Saylor not to be jealous, it’sContinueContinue reading “Tradition”
Temporal Crocodiles
May 1, 2017 Well, this week there will be plenty of pictures! The reason I’m emailing so late in the day and you probably thought you missed me was because of this…We went to Paga! Get out your maps, folks, cuz it’s about northwest of Bolga, following the west road that goes past Navrongo andContinueContinue reading “Temporal Crocodiles”
Blood Tests, Russian Doctor, and Recuperation
April 24, 2017 Well, this week was kinda rough. One More Rough Week From last Saturday until last week Thursday we were inside. We were feeling really good on Thursday but decided that because the Mission President said that we needed to take it easy on ourselves, we should take one more day. Friday weContinueContinue reading “Blood Tests, Russian Doctor, and Recuperation”
Day by Day

Challenges and Changes
April 3, 2017 The Challenge of Leadership Well, as far as challenges… my companion is going home, so his resolve to work is weakening. Elder Antwi has been a very unique companion, and I absolutely love him. The challenge with leadership is always keeping people happy, hardworking, and obedient. It’s still a challenge balancing nurturingContinueContinue reading “Challenges and Changes”
Did you say Hedgehog?
March 27, 2017 Good afternoon/evening from Ghana! So, it’s crazy story time! On Tuesday we were going to our chapel for a meeting, District council to be exact. As we rolled up we saw our Elders Quorum President chilling next to his motor-trike. We went over to talk to him. He was talking to myContinueContinue reading “Did you say Hedgehog?”
Ticket to Ride
March 20, 2017 Last Week Once a month we travel to Kumasi, like last week, to take care of leadership responsibilities. It takes 3 days; we leave on Wednesday, have meetings on Thursday, and come back on Friday. It’s 7 hours one-way and very bumpy. There isn’t much I can do during the trip becauseContinueContinue reading “Ticket to Ride”
It’s Tamale Hot
March 13, 2017 This week was really interesting, filled with a lot of cleaning and preparing because it was transfer week. We got a new missionary in the apartment with the other companionship. He’s from Tonga and he’s straight out of the MTC. So those first few days, not a lot happened. First Things First…WhatContinueContinue reading “It’s Tamale Hot”
