April 5th

Hey Guys,
That's great that all is going well with you. I wish that I could have
seen all of you for spring break. Congrats on being a great nurse
Megan. Jon and Nate, I never said I was good at spelling, it just came
naturally.
So transfers have come and gone and I'm still in the same position,
only Elder Bond and myself are alone and Elder Kamara has now got his
own comp. , that happens to be one of the missionaries from my old
apartment who is named Elder Tadeao. Hes from Zimbabwe and is way
cool. This should make us more productive, but I'm going to miss
hanging out with Elder Kamara all the time.
This week had been way sweet. We committed two people for baptism for
the 17 of April, and we have a few more that we will commit this week.
I tried to send the packages on Friday, but it was closed for Easter
weekend. We went back today to try and send them today and they were
still closed. I'm starting to wonder if they really do have mail in
this country, or if God just doesn't want you guys to get your
package.
Mom, just to let you know about the laptop that I was talking about,
we went to check on them a few times throughout the week and to check
on the price. Everything seemed to be fine, until the day that we were
getting ready to buy them. They have changed the currency here in
Ghana about a year ago, and because of that everyone is still getting
used to it. They told us that it would cost about 140 Ghana cedes, but
come to find out, they really cost 1,400 Ghana cedes. Needless to say,
I didn't buy a lap top this week. I'm not a bad missionary for
checking on those, I had permission from Pres. Sabey, and it was at
the investigators place anyways. I promise that I'm still doing good.
We are just coming back right now from an fm with a member in our
ward named Heather. We had Fufu and groundnut soup. You guys should
look up the instructions for how to make ground nut soup and try it. I
bet that you could make and American version that would taste great,
and it would be a lot of fun to make. You can eat it with rice instead
of fufu, and then you could know what kind of food I'm eating over
here. Its kinda funny, because that is one of my favorite meals here,
and we have not had it since we have been in this area. On the other
hand, we had it almost every day in Mpintsin, and I got to where I
could eat quite a bit of it. Tonight I was able to impress my
companions with how much fufu and groundnut soup I could eat. it was
great. I got to check my weight this week, and Ive lost another 6
pounds, which is sweet. I think that I'm going to have changed quite a
bit since when I left.
This last week we were in town, and I was looking for things to put in
you package and I came across this sweet would carver, who makes
things like hippos and lions and elephants. I bough two of his small
carvings for about 10 dollars, that are way sweet. Ill show you guys
when I get home in 18 months. I think I might buy one or two more
carvings so that I can have a set. I really like them.
Well other than those things, it was a normal week. I'm still loving
the work and loving my companions. I'm having the time of my life and
cant wait to tell you about it on mothers day.
Love you all and hope to hear from you soon,
Love, Ty
